Top-level ideas in a discussion thread are not standalone pages.
Every idea (including every top-level one) has a separate, linkable page. You can reach it by clicking the link starting with the # sign.
They can start a new discussion with as wide a topic as they want.
No room for that, at least not on mobile.
There could be a floating button on the side that takes you to the bottom of the page.
https://veritula.com/ideas?q=&nature=uncontroversial is down from 2988ms to 476. Growing db should now have marginal effect, if any.
Would ideas that no longer have pending criticisms (perhaps because the criticism chain has been flipped further down) be pulled out of the archive?
‘Articles’ are functionally no different than top-level ideas in a discussion thread.
It might make sense to have the new top-level idea form at the top, in the meantime. Compared to the current design, this would invite the creation of more top-level ideas.
Any progress on this? Scrolling to the bottom to submit new ideas is annoying.
The site isn’t at all big enough for this to matter yet.
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.
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.
