A new bigger sandbox

geekery Add comments

With the col­lective story expanding that fast, nav­i­gating through it was no longer very easy…

  • First attempt: pag­inate the results, on the same “old” archi­tecture
    Benefit: a modicum of comfort for people posting com­ments who didn’t have to load the 144 long com­ments each time.
    Drawback: uneasy to find a pre­vious piece of infor­mation, lost in the many pages.
    And lots of in devel­opment
  • Second attempt: create a whole new section, and migrate the com­ments to that “new” infra­structure almost already developed.
    A bit of trust in the feeling of having found the “perfect” answer to the needs, and lots of playing with the toy.
    Fin­ished tonight! thanks to a forum with scents of “vanilla”.
    And it was smooooooth transition.

Sounds a bit geeky, but when you look at it, it’s not unlike the Shift in a way.

Lots of bumps in the beginning as we prepare for the big changes. A feeling of a bot­tleneck, but only to keep the balance at this moment of moving to the new expanded, smooth and playful con­fig­u­ration of mass beliefs.

Hope­fully only the best is to come now

    Bril­liant, Eric! I love the new search feature! A sep­arate topic for com­ments on the com­ments, for anyone to use, and for us to make rude remarks would be good :)
