  • Figures that have been repeatedly discussed, added to, and become more informative.

  • How should the process of cutting down and simplifying be?

  • Zoom in on important stickies and zoom out to view style

    • The people who have made it have the information in their brains, so they can supplement it,
    • Can zoom in and out on the tool.
    • When sharing as an image, stickies with fine text are just noise.
  • It seems like a good idea to create a new diagram with minimal copy and paste (cherry pick) from a diagram with a lot of information.

    • Currently, you have to select a range to copy.
      • I want to do a single sticky note, “Take this and paste it over here.
    • Not implementing a way to make enlarged stickies smaller.
      • I want the copy and paste to be the first size.
  • When cherry-picking from an existing diagram to a new diagram

    • Instead of using the pointing device to “select, copy, and paste into a new diagram”.
    • I was more comfortable with “write out the necessary keywords on my phone and space them out” while looking at the existing diagram.
  • Maybe it’s because they haven’t implemented the former feature.

    • If you do the former, you’ll need to share a clipboard.
      • Split screen on one machine or
      • Need to use multiple displays, etc.
    • It’s a hassle to switch screens every time you copy one thing.
  • The fact that there were no groups to reuse and no hand-drawn diagrams, only strings to reuse, may have suited the latter.

  • I thought it would never come to an end.

  • Under the pressure of “let’s simplify it so it can be read without magnification,” we cut off the branches and leaves and left only the important parts.

  • I’ve had three useful insights in the process.

  • People tend to get stuck with more data than they can handle smoothly…
