  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2915.

‘Subject’

#2915​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

I have an inexplicit criticism of this relating to “school subject”.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2922.

#2922​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

This actually seems anti-discussion. Sounds like a grouping of ideas that are only related by conceptual proximity, rather than building on each other.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2913.

‘Topic’

#2913​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

This makes me think of “discussion topic”.

Similar to ‘discussion’.

  Benjamin Davies commented on idea #2902.

Would you like to try formulating an explicit methodology for using Veritula?
I noticed that you’ve started a bunch of discussions but I don’t believe you’ve reached a resolution on any of them.

#2902​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Would you like to try formulating an explicit methodology for using Veritula?

This is ambiguous. To be clear, are you asking if I would like to make an explicit personal methodology for using the site, as part of my effort described in #2899? Or are you inviting me to formulate an explicit methodology for users of Veritula in general? (I realise these aren’t mutually exclusive.)

  Benjamin Davies revised idea #2929.

I think this is partly to do with the fact that Veritula has no clear way of indicating when a resolution has been reached or a problem has been solved.

For example, I am currently applying #2840, and it is working well. There is no obvious thing I should be doing in Veritula to note that. I would probably only bring it up again if it didn’t solve the problem in the end.

‘Context’

#2921​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Too jargon-y.

  Benjamin Davies commented on idea #2908.

This change is on purpose. The zoom feature was buggy. After zooming out far enough, the navbar and footer got cut off on the right. So I replaced it with proper scrolling.

Would you say zooming was indispensable or just nice to have?

#2908​·​Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

It means that I have to scroll sideways to see the end of each line in a paragraph, which makes it more difficult to read ideas. It feels quite bad to use, compared to using Veritula on my computer, where the entire width of a paragraph is visible at all times.

A solution might be to adjust the mobile site dynamically to fit the user’s phone width.

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #2912.

‘Discussions’ are too narrow a term for a collection of ideas. See #2878.

While ideas should always be ‘discussable’, that doesn’t mean everyone who wants to share an idea always wants to start a discussion. Maybe they just want to put some information out there.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #2881.

Given #2877, will this still be the case?

#2881​·​Benjamin Davies, 5 months ago

#2877 doesn’t mean you should put entire articles in the about section. (That’s still what top-level ideas are for.) It means that, if you’re willing to use the about section for that, then by your own logic there’s no need for this new feature.
