  Dennis Hackethal commented on idea #448.

Hi all! This platform looks like such an awesome idea!
This discussion says, "Discuss Veritula itself. For feedback and suggestions."
I wanted to ask about how many members are here. And whether it's encouraged to invite more people, in order to add more and more conversations.

See #449. Since this is a separate concern, not directly related to #337, you’d want to submit a top-level idea rather than comment on #337. The form for top-level ideas is currently at the bottom of this page. I obviously need to make this clearer.

As I write in the first link, the videos “mostly show bugs and nonsensical behavior, things that wouldn’t happen if animals *were* sentient.”↵

Elaborate on each commit

The following commits should address this:

- `3af3966` Clarify in title that someone revised an idea (rathen than originated idea)↵
-idea)↵
↵
    The HTML title now says ‘Idea x *revised* by…’↵
↵
- `6c70cea` Underneath idea, indicate that someone revised an idea (rather than submitted it)↵
-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↵
-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↵
-idea↵
↵
    Underneath each idea.↵
↵
- `e0fbd41` List user under each revision in version historyhistory↵
↵
    So that each version is clearly attributed to the corresponding user.

There’s a bug where right-clicking in a form to paste text doesn’t result in the preview updating.

Diffs should omit unchanged lines. Maybe just leave up to three lines around changed content for context – that’s how git does it.

Now that there are user profiles (#408), each profile can have a tab for unproblematic ideas. Among all the ideas a user has submitted, *those are the ones he can rationally hold.* And another tab for problematic ideas, ie *ideas he has submitted that he cannot rationally hold*.

Clarify remark about decision-making – decision-trees are different

Because decision-making is a special case of, or follows the same logic as, truth-seeking, such trees canalso be used as decision trees.↵ ↵ Allfor decision-making, too. When you’re planning your next move, Veritula helps you criticize your ideas and make a decision.

There’s a bug where hovering over a link in the markdown preview removes the form and all typed text. Hovering over a link should have no effect on the form.

Since the diff processes the text as a single line, the hunk header is always going to say either @@ -0,0 +1 @@ (for the first version) or @@ -1 +1 @@ (for every subsequent version). Meaning the header provides no real information. So I might as well remove it.

It helps when critics quote whichthe part they’re criticizing, like I’m doing above, but the responsibility still lies with the original poster.
