GitHub Issue #498 (Roadmap) · 3 Reactions · Chan10years · July 2026 "It would be great to have conversation navigation that lets you quickly find and jump to each turn in the conversation, just like ChatGPT. That way, you wouldn't have to scroll through it all manually." (Translation) https://github.com/HKUDS/DeepTutor/issues/498#issuecomment-5066370922
