Has anyone built threaded comments with franzose/ClosureTable package? Just looking to hear about your experience.

I'm just about to attempt to create my own threaded comments system. I'm wondering if anyone could share their experience building a threaded comment system and more particularly experience with:

https://github.com/franzose/ClosureTable/tree/master/src/Franzose/ClosureTable

I'm wondering if I'm going to have to build the closure tables on my own, or hopefully I can use this package, but I think I'm foreseeing problems down the road; as that package looks like it's meant to deal with things like categories and pages and not comments where you will need a certain amount of comments to show for a single thread and pagination.

So please tell me about your experience building a threaded comment system with, or without that repo and what are some of the problems you encountered. Example where I could see your comment system working would be awesome as well. It will really help me blueprint my own functionality.

note I won't be using nested sets because I don't want to update the whole tree structure on insert.

@Corbin What did you end up doing or finding out for your solution? I am interested as well.

Thank you in advance.

@myrdsrn I actually used the closure table package and it works pretty good from the parts that I've finished of that project. I was actually going to build a threaded comment package, but just haven't had the time.
