Meh. A lot of these sound like those ideas that any programmer comes up with, about what would be great, without ever actually putting the sweat in to turn a vague idea into something that actually works.
I have probably as many half-baked schemes in the back of my mind. We probably all do. Why is this list particularly interesting?
Heck, lots of these ideas sound downright bad. Adding operations for "put in new folder" and "pull out of folder"? Don't we already have plenty of ways to do this? A basic set of primitives (create new folder, move files to folder, whether done through the UI or on the command line), allows you to compose those simple actions into the more complex ones, rather than having some giant menu of everything you could ever possibly want to do with files that you need to navigate through.
I'm just not sure what the value of long lists of vague, half-baked features ideas for random software is. Why not actually build one or two of these? That would be far more interesting.
- gdubs 13y agoA lot of ideas start out half-baked, in brainstorming sessions, etc. Even if you don't like the ideas here, judging from other comments it's at least thought-provoking. And this person basically opened up their private journal of ideas for anyone to look at.
