BLB was an XO clone with some additional big changes. I wouldn’t use either the front or back ends as they are quite outdated now. But the database design was pretty cool, and that pattern holds up fine today I think, for this use case. It used the nested set patter which let you get everything on the thread detail page with a single query that was highly efficient and supported infinite reply depth. I can probably dig it up if you want it.

I’m legitimately interested in your schema design and how your thread detail query looks. I think this is by far the most interesting engineering challenge in an XO clone. Postgres is a good choice.

The schema goes from path ordering to tree traversal. So like:

0001 (root)

0001.0001 (first reply)

0001.0002 (second reply)

0001.0002.0001 (nested reply)

So for thread detail query you've effectively got:

posts = (

Post.objects

.filter(thread=thread)

.select_related("author")

.order_by("path")

)

and that's it all the structure's pushed into the key. haven't tried to replicate UI behavior yet, not the exact classic nested tree listing but the backend supports arbitrarily nested replies

I haven't switched the database backend to postgreSQL yet. Django is applying the DDL through migrations in SQLlite. The thread query in SQL is basically:

SELECT *

FROM forum_post

WHERE thread_id = ?

ORDER BY path ASC, created_at ASC;

This is one of those problems that seem easy but then gets hard when you get into it. Complication being infinite number of leafs (replies) at any level

AND

get the whole tree back in a single SQL query for performance.

I used the nested set pattern and was pretty proud of that solution. Very curious how AI would solve this.

Yeah I agree. The prototype i'm working with now is using materialized path with a bounded string field so it currently has a depth cap. This design should be able to be upgraded in postgres though by using parent pointers as the tree and path as derived ordering cache with just switching to an unbounded pathfield, maybe a representation like TextField. That should get you to the same place as nested sets in terms of depth limitation by the schema? Just encoding the tree differently than nested sets.
