I'm interested in similar topics. I put together mockup on GitHub (https://github.com/alain94040/arguably https://github.com/alain94040/arguably). I could definitely use some more ideas.
What do you think of ordering and voting? What about discussions that go in multiple directions?
- manx 11y agoYour introduction is great, I like how you question that there is only one right answer. This always annoys me on stack overflow. The answers are for everybody, the author of the question is just one case. But your mockups confuse me. I think there is more to discussion than just pro/contra. Also I don't see anything about graphs. Did I miss something? On voting I think that just up/down is not expressive enough. When somebody downvotes, I cannot tell if they disagree or just want to tell me that my post is too off topic or has bad quality. We need more choices. But this makes the UX more complicated. Do you have an Idea? What do you mean by discussion going in different directions? The branching that happens in tree comment systems like this one?
- no-twist 11y agoNice, I also like your introduction very much. I think for discussions that go into multiple directions, there should be some overview over the whole discussion to see how the different branches are connected and also a view to focus the branches separately to go into depth and start reading. I think a graph can really help to get an overview as it can capture more information about how posts are connected. Also, maybe "reply" is not the only relation which occurs in a discussion. What do you think about a graph-based model?
