Veritula – Meta
Obsidian autopairs markdown syntax and brackets. I like it a lot and would like Veritula to have something similar!
@dennis-hackethal see the revision chain on #3164. Revision 5 improved the content but I accidentally removed valuable comments. Revision 6 (a revision of revision 4) brought back the comments but I failed to include the content improvement in revision 5. I then made revision 7 to have both the comments and the improved content.
Maybe it should be possible to amend which comments apply to an idea without needing to make a whole new revision. This could behave weirdly in some edge cases, but it’s food for thought. If you think the way it currently works is going to be best, that seems fine to me.
#2728·Dennis HackethalOP revised 24 days agoFeature idea: private discussions only the creator and invited people can see. This could be a paid feature; $2 per discussion, say.
This is done as of 9b5788c but it’s still free for now. Will make it a paid feature after some more testing and polishing.
#2169·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 2 months agoVeritula should have some way to indicate agreement; some way to indicate that a particular thread of a discussion is resolved, at least for the time being.
The Effective Altruism forum has an interesting way to react to posts.
There’s an ‘Agree’ button and a ‘Disagree’ button. Those are apparently anonymous. Then separately, there’s a button to ‘Add a reaction’ of either ‘Heart’, ‘Helpful’, ‘Insightful’, ‘Changed my mind’, or ‘Made me laugh’. And those are apparently not anonymous.
I wonder why they chose to make some reactions anonymous but not others. I don’t think I’d want a ‘Heart’ or ‘Made me laugh’ button, they seem too social-network-y. Also, ‘Heart’ seems like a duplicate of ‘Agree’. But ‘Insightful’ and ‘Changed my mind’ seem epistemologically relevant. Maybe ‘Helpful’, too.
If I did decide to go with ‘Agree’ and ‘Disagree’ buttons, I wouldn’t make them anonymous, though.
The activity feed already shows updates to discussions. Could just include changes to the privacy setting there. And, whenever the privacy setting does change, separately notify participants of the change.

On second thought, the reason for the privacy change may well be related to the reason for any changes to the title or about section, so doing it in the same notification might actually be clearer for users.

A change to the privacy setting is notable enough that it requires a dedicated notification independent of any changes to a discussion title or about section.

#3108·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 days agoHow would you notify participants of changes to the privacy setting?

Preview links of discussions should show the name of the discussion being linked.

#3087·Benjamin Davies, 8 days agoPlease add a ‘first, previous, next, last’ navigation thing to the top of the activity feed page and similar pages. Currently I need to scroll to the bottom to go to a different page.
Good call. I made the pagination ‘sticky’ as of 1e7a85d. Archiving this but let me know if something isn’t working right.
#3101·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 days agoIf the discussion owner accidentally removes someone and then adds them back right away, it sucks if all the associated records are still gone.
In later implementations, I could maybe implement a ‘soft’ delete or grace period. Or I could keep the associated records and rely on authorization rules to prevent access. But as of right now, that’s a premature consideration.

#3099·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 days agoWhat if they still have subscriptions or bookmarks in that discussion?
Those could be deleted when the user is removed.
#3072·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 days agoThere could be hard cutoff: they lose access to everything, including their own ideas in that discussion.

#3079·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 days agoBut that sucks. Maybe someone works hard and submits a bunch of ideas only to lose access to them all.
This functionality is pretty standard across apps. You can be removed from Discord servers, Telegram channels, etc without warning or reason at any time. People generally know and accept this. If they still put in effort, that’s on them.
#3081·Dennis HackethalOP, 8 days agoBut then invitees might not put as much effort into those discussions.
That depends on a bunch of factors, including their relationship with the discussion owner, into which Veritula has no visibility.

That risk could be clearly communicated in the UI.
