What would you like to see happen in this conversation?
I want to talk and organize because I realized that I have a blurred vision of what I want Kozaneba to be by creating it.
What kind of “Kozaneba” is this “Kozaneba”?
Digital stationery for organizing your thoughts, sequel to what you’ve been reading about Regroup and Movidea
What kind of “Movidea” is this “Movidea”?
Regroup’s trial-and-error approach made it so complicated that it had to be rebuilt from scratch.
What kind of “Regroup” is this “Regroup”?
Created to electronically support the process of organizing your mind as you move information fragments around.
Regroup’s trial-and-error approach made it so complicated that we had to rebuild it from scratch.
Is there anything else about this “Regroup”?
It was difficult to add functions when it reached a certain scale because there was no test code, it was not designed to be easy to test, and it was quite difficult to test it after it reached a certain state. It was difficult to do so, so we reworked the code while conducting thorough testing.

How do you know this “Regroup”?
I’m preparing an interim presentation and I’ve already told you about Regroup, and I don’t think you need to know about it in the future.
Where is this “Regroup” located?
👎Regroup
What kind of “preparing” is that “preparing”?
Think about the content of your presentation. The above is why I reworked it, but when I tried to write an explanation of why I created Kozaneba in the first place, I realized that this was a blur in my mind
Is there anything else you can tell us about this “Kozaneba”?
He thought, “I’m going to make a tool that I want to use,” but that is not consistent with the idea that “the flow is difficult for new users to understand, so let’s rework it.
What kind of “flow” is this “flow”?
I wanted to make sure that new visitors to the website could understand how to use the site without me standing next to them explaining it, so I decided to include a tutorial.
What kind of “tutorial” is this “tutorial”?
A step-by-step explanation of what Kozaneba is for and how to use it
Where is this “Kozaneba” located?
Released for test users now, accessible but not widely announced.
What kind of “announcement” is that “announcement”?
Trigger for unspecified people to use it where I’m not looking, so I’ll have to install Sentry or something by then, which I haven’t done yet.
What kind of “Sentry” is this “Sentry”?
Tools to help me know when an error occurs at the user’s end that I did not anticipate.
What is it that you value?
That’s the point, isn’t it? I initially developed Regroup with the idea of “making a tool that is easy for me to use,” and when I tried to tell people how to use it, I thought, “No, it’s too hard to tell people how to use it with the current system,” so I redeveloped it. Obviously, what people find valuable has changed since the beginning. I haven’t been able to dig deeper into that, but if I put it into words for now, it seems that they feel value in “being used by many people.
What kind of “tool” is this “tool”?
Oh, well, I’ve gone from doing it on paper myself to doing it on Regroup, and I think it’s a useful tool, but maybe I want to make sure it’s not a “self-serving assumption” that it’s being used by a lot of people.
Is there anything else you can tell us about that “tool”?
When people other than myself start using it, they use it in ways I did not expect, and my thinking can develop from that stimulus. For example, running Keicho on Scrapbox. I see, the buds that are born can grow by the hands of others, and you want to create opportunities for growth for Kozaneba.
What kind of “I” is that “I”?
The entity that created the tool
Where are these “tools” located?
It’s with you while you’re using it alone, but when it’s in a form that others can use, it leaves your hands and moves in many different places and in many different situations.
The entity that created the tool
Where is this “tool” located?
I have it in hand now.
What does that “tool” look like?
I realized from talking to you that this is a metaphor for “children”. The more you travel, the more you grow.
What kind of “do” is that “do”?
👎.
Where can I find this “tool”?
How do you know about this “tool”?
We are the creators, but we don’t know all of its possibilities. Others will use it in unexpected ways that will lead to knowing it better.
What would you like to see happen with respect to that “tool”?
It is good when it is used by others to make it better. This is also good for my own use. Two blurred stories have come together!
What needs to happen to the “tool” for that to happen?
It needs to be publicly available, it needs to be used by a variety of people with different background knowledge, and the information associated with its use needs to be fed back to the author
As for the “tool,” can it do it?
We will proceed with that policy!
