It's an interesting start. This seems like one of the things where a lot of bottom-up efforts like the one you just described will give insights and point the way to larger compositions. Most people are so thoroughly trapped by the existing paradigms that they'll never figure it out (look at LLM chat interfaces as the most stunning example), so it requires a different kind of mind[s] to get there probably.

The intermingling idea seems very promising as an insight-generating tool. The "comment reputation" idea @k00b introduced the other week is a cool building block.
