Summary:
I’d like to propose two enhancements to the comment/activity feed section in AYON’s web task view:
Pin Comments — ability to pin one or more important comments to the top of the activity feed (e.g., briefing notes, important decisions, client feedback).
Threaded Replies — ability to reply directly to a specific comment in a thread, keeping conversations organized and contextual rather than a flat list.
Current Behavior:
The activity feed currently shows comments in a flat chronological list. There’s no way to group related replies under a parent comment, or highlight critical comments for visibility. AYON does support Comment Categories for visibility control, but there’s no threading or pinning mechanism.
Problem This Solves:
In a busy production task with many comments from artists, TDs, supervisors, and clients, it becomes very hard to:
Track which reply belongs to which discussion point
Keep important notes (like a brief or approval status) visible without scrolling
Proposed Solution:
Add a “Pin” icon on comments (visible to users with sufficient permissions) that anchors the comment to the top of the feed
Add a “Reply” button on each comment that nests responses under it in a collapsible thread, similar to Slack threads or Discord replies
Use Case Example:
A supervisor pins the shot brief at the top. Artists reply in threads to specific feedback comments. The feed stays clean and everyone knows what’s actionable.
Who Benefits:
Studios with large teams, review pipelines, and client-facing workflows — especially when combined with the existing Comment Categories feature.
I’m happy to discuss further or provide mockups if helpful. Would love to know if this is on the roadmap!
