  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2659.

I could use ActionController::Live to stream top-level ideas to the page one by one. Instant page load.

#2659·Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 days ago

JS modules are always deferred and unusable until the page is fully loaded. As a result, comment buttons and gutters won’t work while ideas are still streaming onto the page.

Feature idea: pay people to address criticisms (either revise an idea and check off criticisms or counter-criticize).

This page used to take ~3.5 seconds to load. Now it renders within 600ms :)

‘Veritula’ is a difficult name, people don’t know how to pronounce it. They usually can’t remember it.

‘Veritula’ is a difficult name, people don’t know how to spell or pronounce it. They can’t easily remember it.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2654.

Idea: ‘The Second Renaissance’, ‘2nd Renaissance’, ‘2R’ for short.

#2654·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago

‘Renaissance’ isn’t exactly easy to spell either.

The following commits should address this:

  • 3af3966 Clarify in title that someone revised an idea (rathen than originated idea)

    The HTML title now says ‘Idea x revised by…’

  • 6c70cea Underneath idea, indicate that someone revised an idea (rather than submitted it)

    It says ‘Dennis Hackethal, 1 day ago’ for new ideas, ‘Dennis Hackethal revised 1 day ago’ for revisions

  • d20d386 Explain that users can revise each others’ ideas

    As part of the alert on the revision page, when the user is about to revise someone else’s idea.

  • c5748e3 Turn ‘revise’ link into ‘revise their idea’ when it’s someone else’s idea

    Underneath each idea.

  • e0fbd41 List user under each revision in version history

    So that each version is clearly attributed to the corresponding user.

  • 06d3241 List contributors at top of version history

    Comma-separated list to see all contributors at a glance. Eg see here

  Dennis Hackethal revised criticism #2658.

Changing the view logic so that the controller can stream each deeply nested idea separately sounds non-trivial. It’s not clear to me how to do that currently, It may be possible someday if I adjust Hiccdown to allow the use of enumerators or something like that.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2635.

I could lazy load ideas: only load the parts of the page that would be visible on the current viewport. Then load more parts as the user scrolls.

#2635·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 days ago

Complex, requires non-trivial scroll listeners correlated to deeply nested ideas.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1954.

I see the value in having quiet areas to think, I agree that it is important, but I at times find the quiet distracting. I sometimes work better in environments that have some level of noise, nothing like a club, more like a somewhat crowded cafe. So are you talking about “quieter” environments such as a cafe, or are you talking about complete silence in your observation?

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #2647.

Including that module significantly slows down hot reloads on all pages. I need a tight feedback loop in dev.

#2647·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago

Replacing a raw SQL query in Idea.tree with a standard ActiveRecord query solves this issue.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #2650.

After resetting my working directory and beginning to implement streams a second time, I can no longer reproduce this issue, despite reasonable attempts to reproduce it.

#2650·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago

I’ve since been able to reproduce the issue after all. Running a raw SQL query in Idea.tree in combination with the inclusion of the Live module seems to mess with Rails’s reloader.

Fast UX is more important than fast developer experience.

#2648·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago

A slow developer experience will slow down all further development, including bug fixes and feature rollouts, which hurts UX as well.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #2630.

Discussions are getting slower to render as they grow. It’s a rendering issue (not a db issue).

I tried copying the entire quote…

Cannot reproduce. If I triple-click a word in a box quote, then copy/paste, I get the > sign.

#2643·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days ago

Ah, but I can reproduce when I manually make the selection by clicking and dragging to cover the entire quote.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #2642.

To be clear, if you copy the entire box quote and paste it into a textarea, it will start with the > sign. I just double checked.

This doesn't work for me the way it does for you. I tried copying the entire quote, and also in a separate attempt, copying extra stuff above and below the box quote, and neither gave me the > sign.

I have tried on my windows computer and my iPad.
