efojs··on Why public chats are better than direct messages
Would be cool if comments to PR in Slack were transmitted to Github.

Opened a feature request: https://github.com/integrations/slack/issues/1433

Thank you for your comment.

English is not my native language. And I don't get if your comment is sarcasm)

My intention of using word "flawless" was to emphasize that one, being in the flow, can write thoughts not being interrupted by need to use mouse (shortcuts should help here).

Maybe I should use another word here... Could you please advise?

BTW are keyboard shortcuts considered as a "flaw"?

Thank you for you time! Glad you liked it)

-

> backup option

Yes, it's one of main priorities for me.

-

> impossible to tell how much information can be found underneath

"underneath" == "children" of card you going to click, isn't it? Yes, thank you. Didn't get this point from other comments (thought about "breadcrumb" navigation, facepalm.jpg). Thank you for emphasizing it. Got it. Nice example with books. I plan to add at least the number of children, but maybe will find other more elegant ways.

-

> I wanted to look up a piece of information that is hidden deep inside or if I wanted to reorganize my notes

Yes, good point. For sure there are different modes of thinking: when you write/brainstorm, read what you've got, and work with it/rearrange/edit. So I want to try and add separate modes of interaction to help with it. For sure "read mode" — compiled text (of current branch, or entire board, when watching from root).

-

> global navigation and a search tool

Yes. Search for sure, navigation between boards, clipboard to move stacks around.

-

> font-size dependent on the amount of text in a card.

This is a slippery road leading to messy/noisy situation. I tried this approach, not in this project, but earlier in my UX/UI career. I know what you mean — cards can (will) hold a lot of text. I plan to truncate text with ellipses. Will try to find some balanced solution. But yes. Good point.

-

> parent card/header(?) should be differentiated much more against its child cards

Hm. Will think about it. Thanks.

-

Thank you again for your time and thorough notes!

Thank you for taking time to check it and for support.

Glad you liked it.

> paranoia / concern is that I can't save / copy / transport the thought-fractal I've created

Yes, it is a great concern and I'm going to add ex/import ASAP.

And yes, accounts and server storage will allow smooth transition between devices. But it's not yet in my priority — ex/import first.

Also adding Noteself to my collection)

Hm. Interesting. Confusion means you had some expectations. Could you please share those first? What did you expect to see after reading "fractal thinking tool"?
efojs··on Show HN: Evryca – fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize thoughts
Oh! The Brain. Remember it since like end of 90s I guess) Glad they are still in the game.

Will check closer that transparency feature you talk about.

Thank you!

) Hi! Thank you very much for support! And glad you like it.

Tried a bit kinopio and guess it can replace me Excalidraw in some cases (I use it as whiteboard). Just need to get used to UX a bit.

Looks like my approach does not replace yours visual whiteboard/map-like, they solve a bit different tasks.

Cool, I think) that it can coexist

efojs··on Show HN: Evryca – fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize thoughts
Thank you, yes fractals rule the world (literally?). Seen Workflowy, didn't use it, but it looks rather easy to use. And final text is readable. It's important.

I plan to add view/export of board as a text, so it can be read as a whole.

efojs··on Show HN: Evryca – fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize thoughts
Yes, fractals seem like is how we (nature?) think. Will check yours later

Thank you. Please, help me understand you better.

Does "levels" mean "depth"? To give the feel how deep in the subject you are?

Don't stacked "parents" give that feel?

Hm. Interesting. Thank you. Will add to my collection of fractal apps.
efojs··on Show HN: Evryca – fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize thoughts
Ha. Nice. Thank you. Never seen this one, but seen some other visual fractal notebook/s. Some, for sure, may find it (zooming map) more convenient and fun than navigating text. I, personally, don't feel it's web/screen friendly. Maybe for some VR it could work much better. Would be cool to try.
efojs··on Perfect Example of Data Manipulation
Oh, I'm sorry, even now I lied here, but not intentionally:

> and ~35% are just tattooed.

~35% (37% to be exact) not of all respondents, but of those who have tattoos (from those 40%).

From all respondents it would be 28% vs. 12%.

efojs··on Perfect Example of Data Manipulation
Yes, it is the power of this manipulation — even seeing data does not help, but:

"Among the participants reporting child abuse (25% of all respondents), 48% had a tattoo or piercing" ― out of 100 people, 25 were abused and 48% of them (i.e. 12 people) have tattoos → 12 of 100 respondents have tattoos and were abused, while 28 just have tattoos.
