Veritula – Meta
#1869·Dennis HackethalOP, 7 months agoThe red ‘Criticized’ label could be clickable and filter the displayed comments ‘in place’.
Not as simple as #4349.
#1867·Dennis HackethalOP revised 7 months agoThe red ‘Criticized’ label could be a link leading to a filtered version of
ideas#show.
Not as simple as #4349.
#4274·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoShould comments be sorted by controversial/uncontroversial first, date second?
More or less a duplicate of #4349.
#2962·Dennis HackethalOP revised 6 months agoThe red ‘Criticized’ label shows how many pending criticisms an idea has. For example ‘Criticized (5)’ means the idea has five pending criticisms.
But if there are lots of comments, including non-criticisms and addressed criticisms, it’s hard to identify pending criticisms.
There should be an easy way to filter comments of a given idea down to only pending criticisms.
Could simply sort comments by pending criticism first, creation date second. (Variation of #4274.)
#4126·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoFeature idea: pay people to criticize an idea.
You start a ‘bounty’ of an arbitrary amount (min. USD 5), which is prorated among eligible critics after some deadline.
There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.
When starting a bounty, the user writes terms for the kinds of criticism they want. This way, they avoid having to pay people pointing out typos or other unwanted criticisms.
Anyone can start a bounty on any idea. There can only be one bounty per idea at a time.
To ensure a criticism is worthy of the bounty, the initiator gets a grace period of 24 hours at the end to review pending criticisms. Inaction automatically awards the bounty to all pending criticisms at the end of the grace period.
This has been implemented, sans page at /:username/bounties, which seems unnecessary.
Done.
Done, mostly as of 346fb25, then polished in 6dbf721, 5381525, 9f0f936, and 91e6f27.
#4128·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoNeed ‘standing’ bounties: they don’t expire. I keep finding myself wanting a standing bounty for #3069 so I don’t have to re-run expiring bounties.
Done.
#4262·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoAnother idea: letting users post ideas to their own profile. Such ideas wouldn’t be part of a discussion.
Cool idea!
Once this idea is implemented, the ‘Show activity’ button on bounties#show can link to the implementation.

Composing a top-level idea on mobile is atrocious. Need to scroll all the way down to see the form, the form keeps hiding itself, etc.
#2753·Benjamin Davies revised 6 months agoIdea: Veritula Articles
Currently, Veritula is a discussion website. I believe it could one day do what Wikipedia and Grokipedia do, but better.
A step towards that would be enabling users to produce ‘articles’ or something similar.
An ‘Articles’ tab would be distinct from the ‘Discussions’ tab, featuring explanatory documents similar to encyclopedia entries, and perhaps also blogpost-like content.
Articles focus on distilling the good ideas created/discovered in the discussions that occur on Veritula.
Another idea: letting users post ideas to their own profile. Such ideas wouldn’t be part of a discussion.
#4234·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoNeed the ability to exclude archived ideas from search results.

Need the ability to exclude archived ideas from search results.
#4124·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoVeritula should have some way to acknowledge an idea, including a way to show that a thread is resolved, at least for the time being, without having to comment.
Emoji reactions (#2159) are implemented as of ea482fb.
#2242·Dennis HackethalOP, 7 months agoThose run the risk of turning Veritula into yet another social network like Reddit or messenger like Telegram.
This is speculation, see #4106. If it really becomes an issue, I can retire the feature or improve it.
#2466·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 months agoNot if I do reactions on a per-paragraph basis. I think that’s a new feature none of those sites have.
I plan to go piecemeal by starting with reactions to ideas as a whole, then maybe to paragraphs/block-level elements down the line.
#2912·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 months ago‘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.
