If I mute a discussion, does that stop me from getting notifications from the people I follow, when they interact with that discussion?
Yes.
As a rule of thumb, specificity beats generality. For example, if you follow someone but mute a discussion, you won’t be notified of their posts in that discussion. But if you then subscribe to a specific thread in that muted discussion, you will get notifications for that thread.
There are exceptions. If you mute someone, you’ll never be notified of their actions, no matter how specific.

When I go on a profile, the posts are lost amongst the other user activity.
Posts should have an exclusive place on the profile, as well as featuring in the user activity.
I would like to follow you but I don't want my notifications full of bug fix stuff 😅
If there was more granularity to the follow function I would use it a lot I think.

Search is site-wide. I have in mind a feed of what people are writing, that isn't in discussions.
I understand this might be too social-media-y for your taste, but I think it would be good to have. It doesn't need to be prominent. Discussions can remain the main focus.
Also, did you know you can follow people? Click the bell icon when you visit someone’s profile.
Try appending /latest to the link. I still need to expose this feature somehow, but you can use that in the meantime.

Doesn’t the ‘Search’ tab offer what you want? I could rename it to ‘Posts’. Maybe ‘Ideas’.
When a reader comes to a Veritula post via a link, the site should let them know if there is a superseding revised version of it, and if they would like to see that version instead. When I share things with my friends, I want them to see the most current version, not the version that corresponds to the link they have been given at some point in the past.
Right now it depends on the user seeing that it is not the most recent revision on their own.
Bug: When I try to type a top level idea into a discussion on my phone, the text is covered by the keyboard.
Veritula should have a 'Posts' tab next to the 'Discussions' tab, where people can browse the things people post on their profiles.
But having a separate model isn’t exactly keeping things simple either.
To keep things simple. This is just an MVP.
Extend the existing Discussion model to have a nullable embed_url. An embedded discussion would not have a title.
That would prevent existing discussions from being embedded on other sites. But why prevent that?
Create an EmbeddedDiscussion model, separate from Discussion.
That would mean people couldn’t programmatically use embed codes, like on their blogs. They would always have to manually go into V and create a discussion first.
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. The first time someone posts a comment, the associated discussion is created. Instead of a title, the discussion gets assigned the URL. That way, people seeing the discussion on V can open the URL for context.
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.
Idea: embedded discussions on third-party websites.
This seems overkill for now. If people want to do this off-platform and then feed it into Veritula, they can do that.
Implemented as of ecc72ff. Check your profile.
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.
