Veritula – Meta

  Dennis Hackethal revised criticism #1865.

Simplify language


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.

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

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #2713.

If it’s mostly done, what’s missing?

#2713·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

The feature wasn’t quite polished. For example, arrow navigation through the dropdown menu was missing. And there were some bugs. But it’s polished now and the bugs should be fixed as of 4ced719.

Why is similarity a bad thing in and of itself? It can be reminiscent of discussions as long as it’s less narrow.

#2940·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month ago

Similarity is fine if it is less narrow, but ‘thread’ doesn’t seem any less narrow than ‘discussion’ to me. A ‘thread’ usually means a reply chain.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #2933.

Similar to ‘discussion’.

‘Entry’

#2917·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

I can’t decide if this communicates a grouping of ideas. Seems borderline.

  Benjamin Davies commented on criticism #2928.

Too jargon-y.

#2928·Benjamin Davies, about 1 month ago

“Go check out the Karl Popper context on Veritula” would only make sense if you are already a Veritula user who is accustomed to using this terminology.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2915.

‘Subject’

#2915·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

Makes me think of “subject of discussion”.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2915.

‘Subject’

#2915·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

I have an inexplicit criticism of this relating to “school subject”.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2922.

‘Cluster’

#2922·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

This actually seems anti-discussion. Sounds like a grouping of ideas that are only related by conceptual proximity, rather than building on each other.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2913.

‘Topic’

#2913·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

This makes me think of “discussion topic”.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2914.

‘Thread’

#2914·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

Similar to ‘discussion’.

  Benjamin Davies criticized idea #2921.

‘Context’

#2921·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

Too jargon-y.

  Benjamin Davies commented on idea #2908.

This change is on purpose. The zoom feature was buggy. After zooming out far enough, the navbar and footer got cut off on the right. So I replaced it with proper scrolling.

Would you say zooming was indispensable or just nice to have?

#2908·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

It means that I have to scroll sideways to see the end of each line in a paragraph, which makes it more difficult to read ideas. It feels quite bad to use, compared to using Veritula on my computer, where the entire width of a paragraph is visible at all times.

A solution might be to adjust the mobile site dynamically to fit the user’s phone width.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #2918.

‘Note’

#2918·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

Doesn’t communicate a grouping of ideas.

‘Space’

#2916·Dennis HackethalOP, about 2 months ago

Sounds like a voice chat (like Twitter spaces)

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #2912.

‘Discussions’ are too narrow a term for a collection of ideas. See #2878.

While ideas should always be ‘discussable’, that doesn’t mean everyone who wants to share an idea always wants to start a discussion. Maybe they just want to put some information out there.
