ChatGPT threads get long really fast, even if you’ve only asked two or three questions. You know who’s to blame (*cough* it’s definitely not me *cough*).
Several times a day, I want to go back a few messages within a chat and check something ChatGPT said earlier. And every time, I end up scrolling endlessly trying to find that one sentence.
I wish ChatGPT built a navigation sidebar within a chat like Google Docs and Linear do within a doc or an issue. These apps detect headings and create a table of contents on the side.
ChatGPT could do the same — it already knows the structure and intent behind each message. Imagine a small sidebar within every chat that shows up similar to Google Docs’ table of contents.
Makes finding things a lot easier within chats.
