I find that it is hard to follow a conversation when the username is at the bottom of the comment, especially with longish comments. Not only that, but a comment loses context when you don’t have an idea who is making the comment before you read it - having to scroll down to first read the username and then back up to read the comment is not great UX imo.

It would be great to have an option to move usernames for comments to the top of the comment.

Hey, thanks for trying out the app. There's an option in Settings > Layout > Comment Metadata Position, here you can change where the usernames (and upvote/downvote) buttons appear. Or you can disable them outright.

Sweet! Sorry I missed this before! Great work so far!

The best thing about reddit-style forums is that the statements are basically independent of who said them.

I disagree. Ongoing conversations between the same individuals lose context when you don’t know who is making the comment while reading it.

Different apps put things in different places.
