  267+ reply threads)

Features:
- T3: GDPR account deletion (tombstone user with scrubbed PII) and data export
- T4: Customizable button text and comment labels per namespace
- T5: Self-service namespace deletion for owners
- T6: @mention notifications with profile links
- T7: Webmention receiving endpoint with h-card extraction
- T8: Configurable max nesting depth and collapse depth per namespace
- T9: AJAX thread title search to prevent duplicates
- T10: Browser push notification support (VAPID/service worker)

Docs and housekeeping:
- T11: Documented thread_uri behavior when moving embeds

T9: Prevent duplicate threads (AJAX search)

Status: resolved Priority: low Source: meta 642831b4-4cbf-11e9-9d67-040140774501 Filed: 2026-02-01

Problem

On standalone and FAQ sites, users can create threads with duplicate titles. There's no feedback showing existing threads before creation.

Proposed Implementation

Add an AJAX search endpoint that returns threads matching a title prefix
Wire it into the "new thread" form with a debounced typeahead
Show matching existing threads as suggestions before submission

Files

remarkbox/api/__init__.py — added api-threads-search route
remarkbox/api/views.py — added api_search_threads() endpoint (GET /api/v1/threads/search)
remarkbox/static/js/custom.js — debounced typeahead for thread title input
remarkbox/static/css/common.css — CSS for suggestion dropdown
remarkbox/templates/base.j2 — added data-namespace attribute to body tag

Acceptance Criteria

Typing a thread title shows matching existing threads
Users can click a suggestion to navigate to the existing thread
New thread creation still works when no match exists
