Scrapbox and Feedback

• My Scrapbox is surprisingly well read.

  • When I was writing Blog, it was usually a reference to an individual article, but there are people who refer to Scrapbox itself.
  • Blog posts are one independent read.
  • Scrapbox is sometimes interesting for individual blog-like posts, but The process of tracing connections is sometimes interesting

• For convenience, we will refer to the “process of following the connections” as “walk”.

• Currently, there is no way to share the walk with others.

  • Technically, there is a way to do it.

• Stream Features

  • I can see where the writer made edits.
  • So you can get a glimpse of the “walk of the writer”.
  • Information is visualized as if you started writing an article X, then found a related article Y, edited both, and so on.
  • If you didn’t see the Stream, you may discover it by looking at the pages sorted by edit time and seeing two pages with similar themes!

• Difficult to get feedback from readers

  • Scrapbox was created in the first place to share information in the lab, and readers and editorial rights are equal.
    • in that case
      • Use bullet points rather than long, tight sentences so that formatting will not be lost if you add more.
      • You should be able to easily add a face icon .
      • Feel free to add comments anywhere to make the culture known.
    • I wonder if it is possible to communicate effectively in this way (I would like to experience it, but I haven’t).
  • We think it is abusive to use it for a blog-like application with “one editorial authority and an unspecified number of readers” in the first place.
    • One person “sharing information in the lab” is beneficial enough.
      • It’s interesting to discover links to related articles I’ve written in the past.
      • Past selves are strangers
  • I’m not comfortable with disclosing this Scrapbox editing privileges to an unspecified number of people.
    • →Maybe it’s okay to give editing privileges to a limited number of people you’ve interacted with offline.
    • There is no incentive for readers to give feedback just because you gave them editorial authority in the first place.
  • The old way
    • Should there be a comment section?
    • Should I be notified when I am mentioned by other Scrapbox articles?
    • More responses to drivel on Facebook than on blogs with comment sections or trackback capabilities.
    • The “more” is subjective. For example, the amount of Hatena bookmarks is, of course, greater on blogs.
  • for now
    • If I write an article and post it on Facebook, is it easier to comment on it to the extent of a blog with a comment section?
