I'm not sure if this is in the spirit of the thread but I've been working on a way to allow reviews of gameplay in video games. In short, you upload a video of you playing the game and someone who's an expert can review it.

I currently have a UI with the comments down the side of the screen which looks like this:

https://www.volt.school/videos/c980297a-417b-416f-947b-58a70...

This is good because you can easily: - See all the comments - Navigate between them - See replies etc.

However it has a huge problem with you trying to balance watching the video with reading the comments.

I also have an alternative UI I've been working on which only shows one comment at a time:

https://www.volt.school/videos-v2/c980297a-417b-416f-947b-58...

However the downsides of this is that you can't see all the comments at once. I'm not a UI/UX designer AT ALL so I'd really appreciate some pointers around how to think about making this better! The original post mentions "close to solving", I think I am pretty close but it's still not quite right and while I'm not out of ideas yet, I'd appreciate feedback if solving this is obvious to someone else.
