Need summaries at top of discussions and for nodes in the discussion tree. Could be AI generated.
Since people can now post on their profiles, there’s arguably no need for something other than ‘discussions’ outside of profiles anymore.
Renaming costs a lot. URLs like /discussions/… would need redirects, and the MCP tools and the code all say ‘discussion’.
Chronicles depend on the word ‘discussion’. They retell discussions, like the one between Newton’s and Einstein’s theories.
The original request has since gone. Benjamin’s articles idea (#2753) and my reply to it (#2878) are both archived.
The word ‘discussion’ sets the right expectation. Veritula is built on the idea that anything you post can be criticized. ‘Entry’, ‘post’, ‘note’, etc suggest a place to put information out unchallenged. Someone who only wants to share information can already do that with a single top-level idea.

It’s not quite the same but should give you an idea.
It would be nice to have a changelog as i cannot see the commit history (ex. of one of an app i built https://understandtutor.com/changelog)
Idea: AI suggests criticisms to address before you even submit your idea.
As of today’s deploy, ideas show far fewer buttons. The edit, repost, react, subscribe and menu buttons in an idea’s header stay hidden until you hover over the idea. The same goes for the React button in the activity feed and on profiles. Comment and Criticize are plain text rather than gray boxes. So while you read, those two are the only actions you see. Whether an idea is a criticism now shows in its header, not in a pill under the text.
What you said you were after, posting ideas without starting a discussion (#2813), is possible now: you can post on your profile (#4399). And as of f27080b9, the activity feed has a Profiles tab for browsing those posts.
Archiving #2753 for now, since #2751 and #2877 still stand. If profile posts fall short of what you had in mind, leave a criticism and I’ll take a look.
When it’s your own idea, I recommend adding implications to the idea itself, as part of a revision. That way, criticism chains stay intact.
You can already fund a bounty on each idea, and a bounty covering several would mean reworking how bounties are paid, shown and won.
I’m archiving #4824 for now, but if you have a case where separate bounties fall short, feel free to reply with a criticism and it’ll be unarchived automatically.
An ‘implies’ relation would build the implication into the site’s structure, where nobody could criticize it. But whether A implies B should be open to criticism like any other claim. Instead, criticize A directly: ‘A implies B, and C refutes B.’ That criticism stays pending until someone disputes the implication or answers C.
Done as of f27080b9, as tabs on the activity feed rather than a separate Posts tab: All, Discussions, and Profiles.
There are more profile posts now, and f27080b9 makes it a tab instead of its own page, so fewer posts aren’t as big a deal anyway.
As of 212b357f, revising goes in steps, and a reply only stays behind if you mark it, with a button that says what that means (“Answered by this revision” or “No longer applies”). That should prevent what happened with #3164.
Changing which replies apply without a new revision would rewrite a version’s history, which the timeline relies on. If replies still get lost, I’d rather let a new revision bring back the ones an earlier version left out.
Archiving #3166 for now. If it happens again, leave a comment and I’ll take a look.
Done as of 90bfadf1. The revision process is now divided over four guided steps with explanations.
Both done, as of 3945f28a and 82b641de. Long ideas now show cut short, with a Read more button that expands them in place. Discussions open with settled branches collapsed: the replies to comments and to addressed criticisms sit behind a plus on their gutter line. Pending criticisms, which decide whether an idea can be adopted, stay open. In most browsers, Cmd+F still finds text in collapsed branches and opens them.
Let’s keep this discussion on topic. I’ll follow up with you privately.
Empty criticism, issue not addressed. The checkbox provides no value and delays badges, limiting the amount one can interact with the site.
Done as of 6d4f4a70. You can now also reply to ideas directly from the activity feed.
Locking isn’t needed. Ideas are already immutable: other people can only add versions. The real problem was which version your profile shows. As of e3507e6f, the wall shows each post as its author last revised it, so other people’s revisions no longer speak for you there, and nobody has to be stopped from improving your ideas.
This criticism applies to #4520 as well.
Fixed as of 1a588356. Check your profile:
