[Feature Request] Threaded mode

It would be nice to have an optional threaded mode, similar to Reddit and Hacker News.

I like this idea but I'm not sure it would work as well as you might imagine. When visiting a tweet (or "conversation"), Twitter only displays one reply thread at a time, requiring "Show more" buttons everywhere to accomplish a hacker news-like layout. This could be improved by prefetching more replies, but that would require lots of requests making it unfit for larger instances.

These could be cached somehow, and/or only fetched one at a time dynamically per client's request, i.e. when a user presses the "[+]"/"More replies" button to expand the subthread.
