Like, feeds of content are the result of long ago engineering conventions, not really related to how we consume content. It's just really easy to get stuff by its "last modified" date and database systems will return your queries in date order and so we got time sorted feeds.Permalink On twitter.com

And then algorithmic feeds came out of the assumption that improvement was needed at the ordering level, as opposed to how content was presented.Permalink On twitter.com

But we don't manage ideas or concepts or even really conversations IRL like feeds. They are priority sorted persistent headings w/information falling underneath them. News makes makes a lot more sense as a kanban board than as a feed, though even that isn't a perfect conventionPermalink On twitter.com

Like even a basic Twitter conversation will end up branching, but explaining complex concepts means you end up with deep multi branched concept maps that look more like your tabs after an hour on Wikipedia.Permalink On twitter.com

Mind maps are likely a conceptually good format, but the current designs are two unordered and unorganized for anything but power users. Kanban boards feel like a good suggestion towards a format, but need more tools than they've got.Permalink On twitter.com
