Huh, “shortform” representing “things that are short, or things you put a short amount of time optimizing” actually addresses my primary crux of “I don’t know how to write a description of it that isn’t confusing.”
I still weakly prefer scratchpad.
Curious if, of the ideas you listed, which you prefer? (Trying to make a decision soon)
[Note: I do expect to build a feature sooner or later that converts shortform posts into regular posts]
The one I’d really like would be: They’re called “feed”s, but if someone wants to give theirs a name, they can do that. (Examples: a) “Pattern’s feed—Bricks and Phantasms” b) [user]‘s feed is the default name, but anyone can change it.) Failing that: “FEED”* or “Garden of Ideas”** or “[user]’s Feed”.
*This word doesn’t have much of a connotation for me in the way that “Scratchpad” or “Shortform feed” do. It’s also nice and short.
*While some people might prefer to develop ideas more adversarially, I think having feeds be a place where people can thrash out ideas without worrying about criticism as much, is a good thing, and this name seems to represent that (if they all have to have the same name).
