Very nice to see some innovation in this space, I wish there were more novelties like this ! Like someone said in the thread, I know that Zulip has a similar system (although I've never used it): you have predefined "rooms", and inside each "room" you can start a new thread, with its own topic, much like a new email thread. From what I can see the home view can directly show all snippets from all conversations directly, without having to jump from room to room. Also, since you're not interested in _all_ the discussions in the room, you can only follow some. I guess it's the same for Braid ? Speaking of similarities, Google Chat (the one for GSuite accounts) still has a similar model: you have rooms, and in each rooms you must create (unnamed) threads and you can chooses which one to follow (and be notified for). Unfortunately the UI is not very well done, all threads are stacked vertically so you can't switch from one to the other easily and a lot of screen estate is lost. I think this is where Braid might do things better. One thing that Braid does is it essentially hides all the conversations you're not interested in. However sometimes I had to search for something I didn't really remember, and I only could find it because I had a rough idea about what appeared before or after, or the time it was said. Is there a way to do the same with Braid ? Lastly, thank you for making this open source, it's rare enough that it needs to be underlined. Oh and I see matrix integration is on the roadmap ? Would that mean that Braid would essentially become a glorified matrix client ? I don't mean to sound negative, I'd really wish to try it but I can't use it if I have no one to talk to, so I'm gonna follow Braid closely in the future. |
