Search Ideas

Ah, but I can reproduce when I manually make the selection by clicking and dragging to cover the entire quote.

I tried copying the entire quote…

Cannot reproduce. If I triple-click a word in a box quote, then copy/paste, I get the > sign.

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.

I could cache ideas so deeply nested trees can be rendered at once.

Discussions are getting slower to render as they grow. It’s a rendering issue (not a db issue).

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.

Feature idea: a page that shows you a random idea of yours that has pending criticisms and then helps you address them all.

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.

I didn’t want to just write what you have suggested, parroting isn’t understanding. Writing it in my own words helps the growth of both my understanding and writing.

You didn’t write my suggestions in your own words. You ignored them and instead wrote something else.

Would be nice highlighting strings matching the query in search results.

Automatically generated ideas are polluting the search page.

I meant to refer to anything that you know to be true.

To rephrase what you said, you can tell fallibly that some knowledge is true, and what I said was "[i]t may solve a problem, but that doesn't guarantee that it’s true."

Bug: tooltips sometimes don’t disappear. They should disappear when the user stops hovering over the element that triggered the tooltip.

Feature idea: private discussions only the creator and invited people can see.

Feature idea: selecting some text, then hitting ‘Comment’, automatically pastes a quote of the selected text into the textarea, Telegram style, with the proper Markdown formatting.

So there is no way to tell the truth of our knowledge. It may solve a problem, but that doesn't guarantee that it’s true.

So in a way, there is no way to tell the truth of our knowledge, it may work in solving a problem or a contradiction, but that doesn't guarantee that it’s true.
