So I just released v0.2.0 today. With this release, there's a whole bunch of new features:
* The entire UI has been overhauled. There's much more room available for the comment text, it's easier on eye, you can follow threads better, and it looks better on mobile.
* You can now collapse and expand threads.
* The comment input textarea automatically expands now.
* Avatar support: the first character in your name is now used to generate a unique avatar for you. Your name is also used to create a unique color for your avatar and thread. (It's all happening on the client-side.)
* Previously, Spectre was used as the CSS framework. While it was initially very useful (and it's still my favorite CSS framework), it had too many elements that I didn't use. I remade the styling from scratch and I think the current style is neater.
With this, the total download is just 9.6 kB (excluding markdown). Meanwhile, Disqus averages 90 network requests to 22 different domains.
