Hi,

I recently used bdfr to download all the comments and contexts for one of my accounts. It’s great to have, but it would be cool to have a program that can parse it all and allow me to do things like search and view the comment structure with a simple GUI.

It’s all just JSON so I could write it myself, but I figured I’d ask first if anyone knew of an existing program for this. Thanks!

I don't know about a gui but jq would be the command line way to do it.

or load it into postgres and use pgAdmin to slice and dice.

Cool, I'll look into messing around with that to see if I can script up a nice comment viewer.
