Veritula – Meta
#2633·Dennis HackethalOP revised 6 months agoI could cache ideas so deeply nested trees can be rendered at once.
Cache invalidation for user-based caching sounds like a nightmare.
When copying a box quote from Veritula, the box quote formatting (>) is lost.
#2630·Dennis HackethalOP revised 6 months agoDiscussions are getting slower to render as they grow. It’s a rendering issue (not a db issue).
On initial page load, I could just load the first ten or so top-level ideas and their immediate children, just to reduce wait times and populate the page. Then load the rest asynchronously.

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.

Feature idea: a page that shows you a random idea of yours that has pending criticisms and then helps you address them all.
Feature idea: page at /ideas/:id/guide which shows you an idea and helps you address all pending criticisms one by one, if any. At the end, it shows a message ‘You’re all set!’ or something like that.
On iPad, the footer doesn’t extend all the way to the bottom of the page.
Changing the query on the search page moves the cursor to the start of the query input. It should move to the end or, ideally, keep its position.
On the search page, there should be a button to clear the query input.

#420·Dennis HackethalOP revised over 1 year agoNow 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.
Then people could occasionally check the second tab for ideas they think they can rationally hold but actually can’t. And then they can work on addressing criticisms. A kind of ‘mental housekeeping’ to ensure they never accidentally hold on to problematic ideas.
#2601·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 months agoWould be nice highlighting strings matching the query in search results.

#2597·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 months agoAutomatically generated ideas are polluting the search page.
As of 2d3d38f, system-generated ideas are excluded from search results. They can be included again by checking a new checkmark in the form.

#2572·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 months agoBug: tooltips sometimes don’t disappear. They should disappear when the user stops hovering over the element that triggered the tooltip.
Fixed as of f7833c6.

#2160·Dennis HackethalOP, 7 months agoPeople could wrongly think they have epistemological relevance. For example, they might adopt an idea that has pending criticism just because it got positive reactions.
In a way, reactions might have epistemological relevance.
If an idea has pending criticisms, it can still have parts worth saving in a revision. Reactions based on paragraphs (#2458) could point out those parts.

The red “Criticized” label is far more prominent than reactions would be.
