Map structure design in reviewer #8

Open Humorloos opened 4 years ago

Humorloos commented 4 years ago

Definitely excited for the list of changes! Haha I do have other ideas but was worried that I'll flood you with too many ideas... One of them being the styling for the cards (making it look more like a mindmap) and also utilizing Spatial Memory. Remembering the position of a node on a mindmap helped me remember the mindmap, which was one of the reasons why I preferred a mindmap than a bulleted list. Not too sure how that could be implemented...

No worries! I had this idea already too, that may be possible using the javascript interface that anki provides for the notes, the biggest question concerning this issue for me at the moment is how a good summary of a question with its preceding topics might look. I thought about only displaying the topics that connect the current question to the previous question but I'm not sure if that's enough context. What do you think about that?

Another Idea I had was adopting the design from xmind for the notes (i.e. background color, topic colors maybe fonts etc.)

The design from xmind sounds good. How about a breadcrumb style for previous connections? For example:

A > B > C > D > E

Q A

Just "thinking out loud" here. Or you could make it an option?

Had another idea: How about using hiearchical tags in anki for the breadcrumbs? Not sure if it'll be too messy, perhaps we could use some kind of icon to make it a tag automatically.

Eg.

Respiratory::Asthma::Management::Acute

and then the card contents below

Just thinking out loud again :)

I fear the breadcrumb style might look messy if concepts in the hierarchy are very long and take several lines. In this case bullet points might provide a cleaner separation between the hierarchy levels.

At the moment I am overhauling the complete inner architecure of the addon to allow combining maps from different files by matching the maps by nodes with identical contents. When this is done, a question that concerns me is how to depict the crosslinks that lead from one question to another question (in another map). I think something like breadcrumbs maybe in a map style may be a good way to represent these crosslinks.

I have already thought about implementing hierarchical tags and I like the idea. At the moment it's only possible to differentiate on sheet level but have never really felt the need of a more fine grained differentiation. In which case do you think you would need this differentiation?

Also, I don't quite get yet what you mean with

perhaps we could use some kind of icon to make it a tag automatically.

Would you want to have an icon on the cards during review that lets you convert the reference into a tag?

【utilizing Spatial Memory】AMAZING IDEA ! How is this feature in the project going now?
