> It lets the person you are talking to have novel, original thoughts, rather than repeating the thoughts they’ve had before.

But only if they're open-minded. I've met many smart people who would rather sound smart than bust their cache.

Show HN: A personalised word search puzzle for your special someone

https://wordamour.com

Hello HN!I was thinking of gift ideas for my special someone. I wanted to create a personal gift that could be both experienced in the moment and treasured forever. A custom word search puzzle, filled with our special memories, inside jokes, and shared moments — seemed like a great idea. I thought hard to come up with the words, used an online tool to generate the puzzle, and put it on a page I...

Yep, that would be better

> for a conversation a sentence or even a paragraph would be the right unit

Interesting thought, will explore more, thanks!

Yes, and you can reply to the whole comment as well, instead of a particular text inside it, by using the reply button on the top-right of the comment.

> are they part of the same thread, or a new thread, and how do you define the boundary?

This is very interesting and something we're still exploring.

Curious to know what exactly wasn't clear. One just needs to click on the highlighted texts to open threads and scroll left/right as needed.

That's an interesting list, will explore, thanks!

Kialo is for debates, not for complex discussions.

Curious to know what you two think about Kialo. It's built for debates. CQ2 can be used for debates but it's really for complex discussions.

Interesting ideas, will reply on GitHub!

We'll highlight the current open threads in the tree.

> I couldn't get that button to do anything in the demo

See how the button changes the comment box (but yes, need to improve it)

> I'm one of those strange people who would like infinitely nested threads in Slack too

You're not alone!

> I think it might be nice to have every thread "concluded" with a "result" (summary, outcome, to-do list, etc) which is then injected back into the parent where everybody will see it

Maybe instead of injecting into the parent, we could show it in the info box on hovering the text?

> I'd ideally like all the nested threads to naturally turn into a single linear summary of everything important that was decided

That would be beautiful!

> a thread for every single word is too fine-grained

We've seen threads being created out of two words

Interesting questions!

> who should have the rights for concluding threads?

Not sure, but I guess it could either be anyone or the person who created the thread or the person who was quoted or a specific moderator?. So probably a setting, depending on the team.

> should concluded threads be locked into read-only state?

That sounds a setting too.

Good idea.
