Need large sticky note

2020-03-24

• I’m starting to think that we essentially need “Large sticky note”. I’m starting to get the feeling that we need “Large sticky note”.
• I was of the opinion that stickies with a fixed font size that changes size depending on the amount of content should not be allowed.
  • So I’ve stuck with fixed size stickies.
  • But it’s not “being a fixed size” that’s important.
• Sticky notes with a lot of text are unsharpened sticky notes.
  • And yet, with fixed font size, those stickies stand out.
    • see What happens when font sizes are aligned?
  • Conversely, a concise sticky note does not stand out.
  • This is not correct.
  • It’s not a good idea to prevent eye control over what needs attention.
  • This is the essential objective, and “fixing sticky size” is a means to an end.
• The one I made before didn’t have the ability to fold groups yet.
  • I added a fold function this time, but it doesn’t feel right.
    • It should be an important function if you think about it logically, but why not?
  • That’s because “folded stickies” are the same size as “unfolded stickies.”
    • As a result, it is less noticeable when folded
  • It’s funny that a group of multiple stickies created in a structured way is more valuable than just a single fragment, yet they are the same size.
  • They were not folded, but unfolded and surrounded with a pen or added explanations with a pen.
  • This was subconsciously avoiding “folding it up to make it less noticeable.”
• What happens if the folded item is as large as it was before it was folded?
  • Zoom out to list its large stickies.
  • Then stickies that are not allowed to be in a group will become smaller and less noticeable.
  • This is correct.
• In addition, the problem of “when folded and unfolded, it covers other things” can be solved by separating “fold” from “make smaller”.

• Sticky note enlargement is useful
• I don’t think the folded item you wrote above should be “the same size as it was before it was folded”.
  • eat up a lot of space
  • I like “[Folded things get one step bigger.
