Collapse messages in a chat

Feature RequestUXUI Improvement

Please add a setting to collapse messages of a chat.

We often have long code snippets as input messages as well as output messages, which creates a lot of clutter in the chat. Scrolling up to see previous messages becomes extremely difficult.

If all messages are collapsed to show only 3-4 initial lines, and when clicked anywhere in that area, it shows the full message, it would be ideal. For reference, this works exactly like YouTube's description box. Something similar is also implemented by Voicenotes app.

As the input/output lengths and context lengths of new models have increased, the size of each message, as well as the number of messages, has also increased. This UI/UX upgrade has become essential.

I'm sure soon after it's implemented in TypingMind, other major players will also implement it.

    I really need the ability to collapse code. If I've got several code blocks, it becomes almost impossible to think about which one I'm seeing, to get to the original content from the AI response. It's just too painful.

    This.

    I miss it in every AI-chat UI. Tony Dinh – this should be easy to implement, but huge upgrade and unique selling point.

    Please, for the love of my mouse-scrolling wheel, make this happen soon.

    Just when I thought chatbot interfaces were a solved problem thanks to TypingMind: Along comes yet another great feature idea to improve the experience 😁
