Activity Feed
#2743·Benjamin Davies, 3 months agoIdea: Activity feed should track when you last visited it, take you there when you open it. Currently, someone like me who likes to see everything happening on Veritula needs to go back through pages to find the last thing they saw.
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

Would ideas that no longer have pending criticisms (perhaps because the criticism chain has been flipped further up), be pulled out of the archive?

#2709·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoCould 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.

Idea: Reason Arena
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.

Search page is getting slower the more ideas there are in the db.
#2730·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoAutofocus should put the cursor at the end of an input, not the beginning.
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.
#2625·Dennis HackethalOP, 4 months agoOn the search page, there should be a button to clear the query input.
Done as of 7a31a68.
Dennis Hackethal updated discussion ‘Does Compulsory Schooling Serve to Liberate Children?’.
The ‘About’ section changed as follows:
Archive of a discussion tree between Dennis Hackethal and Roswitha Kant from the old Veritula website. The creation dates of the ideas were not retained but newly set. The discussion originally took place in German between August and October 2023 and can be viewed in full here.

Feature idea: private discussions only the creator and invited people can see.
Feature idea: private discussions only the creator and invited people can see. This could be a paid feature; $2 per discussion, say.
#2312·Benjamin Davies, 4 months agoMe, too. I think Veritula’s design allows for this pretty naturally since the topic of a discussion can be general enough for various competing ideas to be posted in the discussion.
One thing that Wikipedia articles are very good for is providing well-structured information on a given subject. Discussion threads are not so well structured (the order of information is not based on how high-level or foundational it is, like an encyclopedia entry would be, but rather on the nested chronology of whatever discussion happened to take place.)
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.
#2701·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoOld ideas can pollute discussions. Like in this meta thread.
Proposed solution: ideas could be archived automatically if they haven’t been revised or criticized in 90 days, say.
Proposed solution: ideas with pending criticisms could be archived automatically if they haven’t had any activity in the past 30 days, say.
#2630·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoDiscussions are getting slower to render as they grow. It’s a rendering issue (not a db issue).
I started a discussion earlier, and what I wrote in the “about” section of the discussion was not written well. I would like to revise it. Is this possible? If not, is there an intention to make this possible eventually?

Feature to collapse all criticized ideas of a discussion? Useful for todo lists.
