anandbaburajan··on Social Cache Busting
> It lets the person you are talking to have novel, original thoughts, rather than repeating the thoughts they’ve had before.

But only if they're open-minded. I've met many smart people who would rather sound smart than bust their cache.

Ah, definitely!
anandbaburajan··on Gift your special someone a personalised word search puzzle
Wordamour is a web app I built to help you turn you and your partner's cherished words into a beautiful, printed word search puzzle.

It's a unique, thoughtful and wholesome gift — something that can be both enjoyed in the moment and cherished long after. So, next anniversary, birthday or Valentine's Day, skip the usual. Surprise your partner with a Wordamour.

Do let me know if it brought a smile to your partner's face and if you've any ideas on making it more wholesome!

Thank you for creating this wholesome, weird thing!

> I really expected some sort of modal dialog or similar

Yep, that would be better

> for a conversation a sentence or even a paragraph would be the right unit

Interesting thought, will explore more, thanks!

Yes, and you can reply to the whole comment as well, instead of a particular text inside it, by using the reply button on the top-right of the comment.

> are they part of the same thread, or a new thread, and how do you define the boundary?

This is very interesting and something we're still exploring.

anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Curious to know what exactly wasn't clear. One just needs to click on the highlighted texts to open threads and scroll left/right as needed.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
That's an interesting list, will explore, thanks!

Kialo is for debates, not for complex discussions.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Curious to know what you two think about Kialo. It's built for debates. CQ2 can be used for debates but it's really for complex discussions.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Interesting ideas, will reply on GitHub!
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
We'll highlight the current open threads in the tree.

> I couldn't get that button to do anything in the demo

See how the button changes the comment box (but yes, need to improve it)

> I'm one of those strange people who would like infinitely nested threads in Slack too

You're not alone!

> I think it might be nice to have every thread "concluded" with a "result" (summary, outcome, to-do list, etc) which is then injected back into the parent where everybody will see it

Maybe instead of injecting into the parent, we could show it in the info box on hovering the text?

> I'd ideally like all the nested threads to naturally turn into a single linear summary of everything important that was decided

That would be beautiful!

> a thread for every single word is too fine-grained

We've seen threads being created out of two words

anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Interesting, will explore more.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Interesting questions!

> who should have the rights for concluding threads?

Not sure, but I guess it could either be anyone or the person who created the thread or the person who was quoted or a specific moderator?. So probably a setting, depending on the team.

> should concluded threads be locked into read-only state?

That sounds a setting too.

anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Good idea.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Thanks for your reply! I personally don't want to use it on phones, but for times when one only has a phone, we'll add mobile support soon.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Nope, didn't know about it. Looks interesting.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
I agree. We have access to five complex discussions, and unfortunately, the ones with simple topics are not available to public.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Haha, CQ2 doesn't mean anything, and no, it has nothing to do with ICQ.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
The blog post and homepage both are working fine for me on Firefox Android. Can you raise an issue on our GitHub? :D
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Can you share what exactly you mean by a sideways change and a forward change, in this context? Thanks!
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
I like Kialo too! But it's more like a tool for simple discussions on simple/complex topics, not a tool for complex discussions.
anandbaburajan··on The best way to have complex discussions?
Interesting, will explore more.

We'll be adding mobile support soon.
