*Talk through the entry, not around it*

Every check-in entry has its own comment thread. Either partner can post, and stay in context with the mood, reflection, or gratitude that prompted the conversation. It's a single flat thread per entry, oldest first, with no nested replies. The non-author of each comment gets a push notification. Comments live with the entry, so context is preserved instead of scattered across messages. A Premium feature; any partner's Premium unlocks it.

## Why it exists

Wellness check-ins capture the moment. Comments give the moment somewhere to go. Instead of replying in a separate chat and losing the connection to the entry, the conversation lives where the data lives, anchored to the mood, reflection, or photo that prompted it.

## Capabilities

### Per-entry threads

Tap a check-in to open the detail sheet. A single flat thread, oldest first, sits at the bottom, attached to that specific entry. No nested replies.

### Either partner posts

Submissive or Dominant can comment. Submissives can comment on their own entries to add context after the fact.

### Push notifications

The non-author of each comment is notified. The thread author hears about replies; commenters hear about responses.

### Inline with the data

Comments stay anchored to the mood rating, reflection, and gratitude, so the discussion never loses its reference.

## How each role uses it

### For Dominants (Dominant)

Respond to a check-in directly on the entry that prompted it.

- Acknowledge a mood drop or a strong reflection without switching apps
- Ask a follow-up question right where the entry lives
- Keep your responses tied to the check-in instead of buried in chat
- Build a private record of how you've supported your partner over time

### For Submissives (submissive)

Add context to your own check-ins or reply to your Dominant's notes.

- Clarify a reflection days later when you have more perspective
- Respond to your Dominant's comment in the same thread
- See the full conversation alongside the original entry
- Know your check-ins are being read, not just collected

## Use cases

- Mood dip: Dominant comments to check in after a low rating
- Self-reflection: Submissive adds context to their own entry the next morning
- Pattern review: Comment on a recurring theme as it appears across entries
- Aftercare: Continue a debrief inline with the wellness entry that documented the scene
