Thanks for the feedback! Yeah it's definitely jarring at first to see just a single tree.

There are indicators above each comment to show which index you're on right now, and "prev"/"next" buttons to give you a better sense of other trees on either side of the comment. It's harder to show more because of space limitations, though I will continue to iterate!

I gave it a little thought: if the "prev" and "next" buttons included some visual indicator of how many more items there were in that direction, I think that would help a lot. Bonus points if it comes with a subtle animation that makes it look like the items are swinging into view as you navigate.
