It would be a waste of time to add features that don’t scale well.
As the site grows and there is more activity, there would be too much going on for any user to be interested in all the activity on the site, so it would eventually become irrelevant
Idea: ‘Reason Arena’, ‘RA’
I like something with ‘Arena’ because it would imply action, some ideas winning out over others, and has a Darwinian aspect to it. Our best ideas are the tentative champions in the arena of ideas, waiting for the next challenger.
Done for the search input as of 765ba05. It makes sense for that input because the user expects to be able to keep typing after submitting the form. For other inputs, the user will expect whatever default their browser implements.
Feature idea: private discussions only the creator and invited people can see. This could be a paid feature; $2 per discussion, say.
Top-level ideas can be structured any way you as author want them to be. (Any idea at any level can, but top-level ideas are presumably where articles could live.) The structure of any particular idea can be different from the structure of the discussion as a whole.
Proposed solution: ideas with pending criticisms could be archived automatically if they haven’t had any activity in the past 30 days, say.
I implemented #2659 and it’s much better now. In addition, there is now automated archiving (#2704) and manual archiving (#2711). Archived ideas live on a separate page, so the main page is faster.
I went ahead and implemented this feature since it was a good suggestion.
You can edit your discussion here.
Feature to collapse all criticized ideas of a discussion? Useful for todo lists.
Now that diffs are formatted, they don’t omit unchanged lines anymore.
Proposed solution: allow people to archive ideas. Maybe only their own.
That could just annoy people and cause them to unsubscribe from emails.
Could do it only for ideas with pending criticisms. If they have pending criticisms, how important can they be? This has the added benefit of creating an incentive for proponents of ideas to address criticisms.
This requires manual action. Could mean a lot of work depending on the discussion.
Proposed solution: ideas could be archived automatically if they haven’t been revised or criticized in 90 days, say.
This problem will surface rarely – users would have to hit cmd + f immediately upon opening the page. For most users, by the time they start typing, the page is already fully loaded. So this seems like a small price to pay in exchange for discussion pages that always render faster.
Now that parts of the page are purposely and visually disabled (see #2694), users may not expect everything to be working 100% during a loading state.
