• Do we need tag in the first place?
    • In the absence of digital writing materials, the only low-cost way to edit information was to ā€œput it on a piece of paper and move it aroundā€!
      • As for writing, the cost of erasing was high because there was no Undo
      • A piece of paper can be moved and if it doesnā€™t work, it can be Undoā€™d instantly.
  • The outline processor was a tool that made it possible to ā€œmoveā€ in a way that was not a two-dimensional spatial arrangement.
    • Two dimensions: up/down and indentation direction, but the degree of freedom in the indentation direction is implicitly restricted.

  • Iā€™ve been talking about an app that can also take handwritten notes, which I was working on this summer, but judging from Mr. Kurashitaā€™s reaction to Mr. Yukiā€™s prototype, I think there may be a need for users with just the handwriting part without the sticky note part.
  • I used a whiteboard at a certain place in a hurry, but the pens were lousy and I was far from some peopleā€™s seats. This feature may work well for sharing handwritten notes without having to install anything. Facebook

  • Forget about sticky notes for once and think about smooth output of information.
  • Likewise, it is not a good design to make people think ā€œis it a sticky note or not?ā€ from the beginning, long or short, you should first [You can throw it in without thinking.
  • When do I want tag?
    • For example.
      • Reading books,
      • When you see unorganized but potentially valuable dialogue logs from others or yourself,
      • Unorganized idea notes for books, lectures, etc.
    • First of all, there is a lot of unorganized information, and when you want to organize it, you want to move each fragment.
    • Even with todayā€™s handwriting tools, it can be done with two steps: lasso it and move on,
    • So when you want to focus more on moving, you want to fix the unit of movement.
      • Sometimes you want to move in batches, so ā€œfix the smallest unit of movement.ā€
  • Extracting smaller units from larger units, like underlining or excerpting from a document, is done
    • Scrapboxā€™s new page destroys the original document, but I want a new item linked to the original document.
    • Scrapboxā€™s outliner-like behavior is rather good, it would be nice if some of its tree could be extracted without destroying the original.
  • For example, if I submit a large file (PDF, video, external link), is that also tied to the view?
    • Is it small enough to string together?
  • When an item is dragged on the screen, not only is the location updated, but the field of view when the item is updated may accompany that update.
  • If you log not just the movement but also the field of view, you can share the organizing process itself by dragging items. - The process itself must be shared to grant (a person) a degree of karma # process sharing
  • I donā€™t know what it means because I do share only final deliverables using the KJ method.
  • I have a view that I write down like this, and then I convert it to sticky notes and organize it.
  • Every item should have an edit linked to it
  • In the process of rearranging what you have written, you may want to rewrite it or split it up.
    • That should be one click away.
  • Is this post long enough to be broken up by line breaks?
  • Line break button is there, but not used.
  • No need to limit it, itā€™s good to be able to break lines and indent.
  • It is up to the user to use it for [1D writing style
  • It would be nice to have a share button with field of view information.
    • I hope the QR code comes up full screen on the share button.
    • Screen aspect ratio varies from user to user, should be displayed in a field of view where the entire screen of the sharer is visible
      • Humans have difficulty noticing off-screen edits
        • Better to have a mechanism to make people aware.
        • The maps in the game are well done.
  • If all the editing history is kept, thereā€™s less need to fear free editing.
    • If we can freeze it on the rare occasion of an editing war, thatā€™s all we need.
    • We can also freeze the shares that we donā€™t allow to be edited.
    • In other words, the three categories of ā€œthose who can only seeā€, ā€œthose who can editā€, and ā€œthose who can freezeā€.
  • Why I use Facebook instead of Scrapbox for this kind of writing?
    • After writing it, I reprinted it in Scrapbox to organize it.
    • Why not write in Scrapbox from the beginning?
    • What is itemization?
    • Some people want the same hierarchy to be parallel, while this is clearly too strong a constraint.
    • Some people think it should be readable if the same hierarchy is readable if the child elements are ignored, another too strong constraint.
    • It can be organized after the fact to have those characteristics, but not at first, of course.
    • So this is a means of expressing ā€œrelationships not yet verbalizedā€ similar to the proximity of the KJ method!
    • Iā€™m not sure thereā€™s a way to describe a verbalized relationship in bullet points.
      • Thatā€™s just a tree.
      • Canā€™t annotate unless itā€™s like an AND/OR tree.
