Veritula – Meta
Option 2: an embed code is shown on your profile, with a page-url attribute you fill in. That’s the page where you place the code.
Option 1: when you create a discussion, an embed code is shown, which you can paste anywhere.
#554·Tom Nassis, over 1 year agoVeritula deserves to scale to the size of Wikipedia.
But it never will, unless its users innovate.
How can the global success of Wikipedia inspire Veritula?
#3419·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoIdea: voice spaces, like Twitter spaces, except an AI generates a transcript and automatically turns it into a discussion tree, with criticism chains and all.
This seems overkill for now. If people want to do this off-platform and then feed it into Veritula, they can do that.
#4262·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoAnother idea: letting users post ideas to their own profile. Such ideas wouldn’t be part of a discussion.
Implemented as of ecc72ff. Check your profile.
#2666·Dennis HackethalOP revised 5 months ago‘Veritula’ is a difficult name, people don’t know how to spell or pronounce it. They can’t easily remember it.
There's something to be said for a degree of complexity and novelty to a name. It lends air of thoughtfulness, and could spark curiosity in potential new users.
#4356·Tyler Mills, about 1 month ago'Veritula' is not a difficult name as compared to other highly successful explanatory enterprises, like 'Veritasium.'
See also: "Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell", the highly successful educational YT channel. I know people who are big fans, and yet can't pronounce the name correctly.

'Veritula' is not a difficult name as compared to other highly successful explanatory enterprises, like 'Veritasium.'
Easier than ‘Veritula’, though. At least it’s a known word.
#2962·Dennis HackethalOP revised 4 months agoThe red ‘Criticized’ label shows how many pending criticisms an idea has. For example ‘Criticized (5)’ means the idea has five pending criticisms.
But if there are lots of comments, including non-criticisms and addressed criticisms, it’s hard to identify pending criticisms.
There should be an easy way to filter comments of a given idea down to only pending criticisms.
As of 8e0a6e1, comments on each idea are shown in the following order: criticisms first, regular comments last. Within each category, uncontroversial comments are shown first. Lastly, comments are sorted by creation date (ascending).
#1869·Dennis HackethalOP, 6 months agoThe red ‘Criticized’ label could be clickable and filter the displayed comments ‘in place’.
Not as simple as #4349.
#1867·Dennis HackethalOP revised 6 months agoThe red ‘Criticized’ label could be a link leading to a filtered version of
ideas#show.
Not as simple as #4349.
#4274·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoShould comments be sorted by controversial/uncontroversial first, date second?
More or less a duplicate of #4349.

Could simply sort comments by pending criticism first, creation date second. (Variation of #4274.)
#4126·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 2 months agoFeature idea: pay people to criticize an idea.
You start a ‘bounty’ of an arbitrary amount (min. USD 5), which is prorated among eligible critics after some deadline.
There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.
When starting a bounty, the user writes terms for the kinds of criticism they want. This way, they avoid having to pay people pointing out typos or other unwanted criticisms.
Anyone can start a bounty on any idea. There can only be one bounty per idea at a time.
To ensure a criticism is worthy of the bounty, the initiator gets a grace period of 24 hours at the end to review pending criticisms. Inaction automatically awards the bounty to all pending criticisms at the end of the grace period.
This has been implemented, sans page at /:username/bounties, which seems unnecessary.
Done.
Done, mostly as of 346fb25, then polished in 6dbf721, 5381525, 9f0f936, and 91e6f27.
