1) Simple uncluttered interface using a single-page design. Most functions are hidden and can be switched on / off with a quick swing of mouse in fullscreen mode. For example, click the top-right corner for an even cleaner view.

2) The two columns can be navigated separately: back / forward / refresh for each of them. Use mouse wheel to scroll.

3) All posts of a person are integrated into his / her user page feed, and you can jump between the exact positions in the user page and the topic page, such that you can easily read everything from the interesting users and discover good topics.

4) You can focus on someone to only show his / her posts inside a topic, and then defocus on one of them to get to its position inside the original topic.
