Well it does support nested comments... They are just automatically folded so the appearance is cleaner. Try "#xxxx" (and click it). You can find the post id by clicking the user icon. You can even do self-reference and build an infinite stair.
I couldn't find any nested comments, but I think it would be good to not flatten them so that you can actually see the conversation directly, like we're doing now

#33It's a very nice design, but I feel removing dates is a mistake. It may be that older topics lose their value as time goes on, however that's a problem that can be fixed on the community level (by encouraging people to bump old threads, instead of discouraging it -- which is a learned behavior.) I feel like you gain very little in reality by removing dates, and you otherwise lose some very valuable or interesting info.

#34http://www.rizzoma.com is much better. The founder himself stayed at my place using airbnb this summer. I'm a YC alum. He has one of the most interesting founding stories I've ever heard. He is a Siberian-Kazakhstani hacking competition winner who knows Judo and runs a series of small businesses in Russia. Bars that partake in sportsbetting-all Legal.

How is it better? Rizzoma (wave) is so incredibly complicated I feel very overwhelmed when I visit the site. It's like stepping into a fighter jet cockpit.

#36There's a fork of Google Wave that's alive and kicking http://rizzoma.com Here's a screenshot: https://plus.google.com/100419497458726670190/posts Though I like Ivory's goal and aspirations.
Can I integrate Rizzoma in my web app? Or is it just a standalone web app?

#37I love this. I love the deliciously clean design, the immediate type-and-post functionality (reminiscent of IRC), the loose feel and structure of the forum that makes it a wonderful base for customisation in any aspect. I wish this were in Ruby/Rails; then I'd set it up on my site. It's precisely the sort of forum I've been looking to implement, especially the two-column format and the IRC-style text entry box. (I wo…
I agree with this too. I, too, am looking for a non-conventional forum that I can integrate into a webapp I am building.
I would love for someone to port this into a Rails engine or a Ruby gem or something.

Rizzoma allows communication within a certain context permitting a chat to instantly become a document where topics of a discussion organized into branches of mind-map diagram and minor details are collapsed to avoid distraction.
Because we all know a person who's said to us at one point or another "I wish I had a way to have a chat instantly become a document where topics of discussion are organized into branches of a mind-map diagram."

I concur in all the above. The application is responsive, powerful, and well designed.
