Setting to show Initial Comment Visible about jquery-comments HOT 3 OPEN

We're planning to support this by using pagination with infinite scroll so that it would work just like your Facebook feed etc. but can't unfortunately provide an exact timeframe for this development yet.

If you'd like to start working on that, we'd be delighted to take a look at a pull request from you. The way to create this feature is twofold:

1. Paginate your comments API from the backend so that it will always load slightly more comments than you can see on the screen at once
2. The part to add to jquery-comments is then to trigger new ajax calls to always fetch more comments and add them to the comments container whenever the user scrolls down and is near the end of the list. There's already a fetchNext placeholder function implemented for this purpose.

@jessenieminen any progress on this? I've seen the fetchNext() in the code but there is actually nothing else to use or implement that functionality? Is there a possibility to donate money to get this done some time soon?

Also a function to load more child comments should be there. If we have a comment and that comment hast 50 replies. We might not want to show them all when loading the comment but instead showing "load more comments" or something like that.

@burzum Thanks for the inquiry! Our company's been (and will continue to be in the near future) swamped with demand for development from our paying customers so this project has, as a result, been unfortunately quite dormant recently.

We're looking to hire more developers as soon as we find appropriate candidates, which should alleviate the pressure slightly and should also let us allocate more time towards this project as well.

Realistically, I'd estimate that we won't have much time for new development for this project before next spring/summer and moderate donations won't unfortunately change that much (unless of course you could donate so much that we could just hire a new developer with the amount).

So if you or someone else would also be interested in joining the team for jquery-comments, we're more than delighted to establish a larger team for the project in the open source community.
