Thanks for organizing everything here. I've reordered everything from top to bottom in the order that they will likely be implemented.

Having a separate comments page would be great; not only for loading replies without JS, but also for being able to view pages of comments without JS.

Added #409 to list of tracked issues.

@omarroth How do I comment videos on invidio? Haven't figured it out.
Could you make a video explaining it?
Anyways, thx for the app

[omarroth]

Currently it is not possible to comment on videos, see #300.

@omarroth ok thx for replying...

Exactly a year will have passed as of tomorrow on this, is there any update on where things stand? Beginning next month, Google will be forcing everyone onto the ghastly new layout, so invidio.us will be the only realistic YouTube viewing option for many people, myself included. With that in mind, it would be very reassuring to know that the highly necessary items on the above list of improvements have at least not been forgotten, and some sense of what the time scale might be for the implementation of at least the first few entries on the list. ("Sorting" #101 and "View comment replies without JS" #409 are particularly crucial.) Thanks.
