   3 - Come up with a name / codename.

  10 # Questions
  11
  12 - How does voting work? Should we go back to the old way of showing up and downvote counts? Or just a score?
  13 - Decide on tech to be used
  14   - Backend: Actix, Diesel.
  15   - Frontend: inferno, typescript and bootstrap for now.
  16 - Should it allow bots?
  17 - Should the comments / votes be static, or feel like a chat, like [flowchat?](https://flow-chat.com).
  18   - Two pane model - Right pane is live comments, left pane is live tree view.
  19   - On mobile, allow you to switch between them. Default?
