Concurrent Editing and Blog Comments

Posted about 1 year ago by oakese

Here at Stormweight we tend to work on the same lists simultaneously, and in doing so, identified a problem. Have you ever been creating a new idea or inputting a comment only to have your work suddenly disappear? Well, that won’t happen anymore. Used to be that if two people were working on the same list, when one posted a new idea, an edited idea, or a comment, all fields were cleared for everybody. Now, two people can work at once and no one will lose their work. Handy! Stormweight updates every 2-5 seconds too, so you can see changes in real time and respond to them. Collaborative ideation just got much easier!

Because Stormweight updates frequently, you can use comments like an anonymous (assuming the list is set to anonymous comments) chat. Try it out. It can be a bit unwieldy, but it’s kinda fun. I think it’s great for short exchanges about an idea. For longer conversations though, a conventional chat app will probably serve users better.

As a final note, this mini-blog now supports comments. We’d love to hear feedback about how the changes we blog about here are working out for everyone.
