  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #1886.

Should I be showing the comment form by default on ideas#show?

#1886·Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Then the autofocus on the textarea would force a scroll basically to the bottom of the page. For sufficiently long ideas, that means scrolling past content the user wants to see.

That would probably be stretching the capabilities of Stimulus…

#1877·Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

Could probably use Turbo frames instead.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #1869.

The red ‘Criticized’ label could be clickable and filter the displayed comments ‘in place’.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1865.

The red ‘Criticized’ label shows how many outstanding criticisms an idea has. For example ‘Criticized (5)’ means the idea has five outstanding criticisms.

But if there are lots of comments, including non-criticisms and addressed criticisms, it’s hard to identify outstanding criticisms.

There should be an easy way to filter comments of a given idea down to only outstanding criticisms.

There could be a separate button to filter comments down.

There should be a feature similar to the ‘single comment thread’ feature Reddit has, where you start with some deeply nested child idea and render all of its deeply nested parents above it:

plaintext
    G

   /|\

 P1 P2 P3

   \|/

    I

This feature would be great for seeing an idea in its proper context without having to scroll past a bunch of potentially unrelated ideas.

For parent ideas, cycle only through revisions that lead to the target idea. Communicate accordingly in the UI. For the target idea, its children, and any of its siblings’ children, cycle through all revisions.

Every idea should have a link to a separate page with the single comment thread. This could just be ideas#show. That page should also scroll the target idea into view in case its preceded by too much context that would otherwise push it below the viewport.

This feature would also allow me to remove the buggy ‘context’ feature.

#1841·Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 months ago

The target idea should be scrolled into view. Otherwise, it might not always be visible, which could cause confusion. See eg #1811, which is preceded by a long idea and thus not visible on page load at the time of writing.

Cycling through revisions on the parent level might hide the idea but that in itself isn’t a big deal: the user can just refresh the page anytime they quickly want to find their way back to the idea.

Every non-top-level idea should have a link to a separate page with the single comment thread.

Might as well go with top-level ideas, too. That way, when there are other top-level ideas, they get filtered out. Good for zeroing in.

  Edwin de Wit commented on idea #1813.

For example, I had to manually notify Edwin in #1811 of a revision I had made to address a criticism of his. Without this notification, he might miss the revision. If he disagrees that the revision addresses his criticism, that’s a potential error that might not get corrected.

#1813·Dennis HackethalOP, 5 months ago

good idea!

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #1812.

When you revise an idea to address a criticism, its author should get a notification so they get a chance to verify that the revision really does address the criticism.
