This app has you break down information into a cause & effect map, where each node has an implied claim "this node is important" and each edge has an implied claim "the source node <edge name verb, e.g. causes> the

Thanks for the feedback. I had intended problems to be seen first to convey motivation, so they're at the top, but I wanted the arrows to point in the direction of causation, so solutions point upward. I agree it's not great, and

Thanks for the thoughts. I've dreamt of a version where a conversation could be recorded and a map could be generated live to provide both a visual and a structure to further guide the conversation. As for the essay version, one major

Thanks for sharing, I hadn't heard of that. It saddens me a little when I hear about all the structured argument sites that died. I'm always interested in trying to learn from them, like what worked and what didn't work. I ca

Appreciate the feedback. I had played around with defaulting scores/justification showing vs not showing mainly because in a big diagram it can add clutter, hadn't been solid on that though. Regarding styling edge types: Yes and I

It's not exactly IBIS, but inspired for sure. IBIS I think is better for modeling a live discussion, it's almost an append-only structure (to model back-and-forth), whereas Ameliorate's structure (the core is concepts with ca

If you have a problem that's hard to think through or agree on with someone else, this app can help you make a (cause & effect) diagram to understand it better. Use numbers (scores) to show others how important you think something

Thanks for the feedback, I agree. I hadn't gotten around to adding an Explore page. There haven't actually been many users so it'd be mostly my topics and topics from some small group discussions I've hosted, but would b

Cool to see this posted :) I'm the creator. For those interested, I've slowed work on the app in favor of refining the app's ontology in markdown form[1], building an ontology playground[2], and building a prototype[3] to sho

I think there's a lot of good advice in these comments already, at least for individuals to think about for themselves. I happen to have discovered a fantastic contra dancing community[1] in Chicago that could be great for some who are

I feel the author loses points (persuasiveness? respect? integrity? I can't think of the word) by not acknowledging what they think accurately happened. What's the word alternative to genocide in this case? "War" with la

Neat idea. Would you say that biggest difference from something like Kysely is the focus on extracting common calculated SELECT targets into methods that can easily be accessed when querying? Or perhaps it's more thorough with providin

That's a cool idea. Seems like there would be a ton of things contained in an individual's worldview, that it'd be hard to build all of it up. Perhaps when you encounter something that makes you think of some core philosophy,

Working on a webapp for critically think with others about a problem. The idea is that you build a diagram that contains all the details about the problem and people's thoughts on it, and it's organized in such a way that it&#x2

I'm a big fan of modeling causal structures like this - I think having a diagram is a really good way of getting on the same page and making conversations more constructively focused on points that each party can follow and precisely p

I think the structure inherently enables each node to be a claim (like "this thing exists"), but that there's value in making a node even if that node's claim is not particularly disagreeable, because the edges to that n

I agree that wealth is not the same as class, but just as a counter anecdote, my dad is a (small business) plumber and I never felt like we were treated less than any other middle class family. If anything, it seemed like people were often

I'm building an app[1] (repo[2]) that helps you visualize perspectives and details about complex problems so that it's easier to figure what to do about them. Right now it's basically a diagramming app specifically for the do

Cool idea. FYI the GitHub link at the bottom leads to "page not found". Maybe the repo is not public?

Slightly annoying: on mobile, the navbar displays partially in front of the content "Overall Progress". I tried scrolling up to see the content better and since that's top of the page, it triggers a page refresh.
