As many of you know, we’re actively working on what we’ve dubbed ‘Lists 2.0’—this is what many Anytype users know as Queries, Collections, Sets, Object Types, etc. As this is an incredibly important feature, we’re also deeply thinking about choosing a good name, as it imparts a strong impression on …

[image] kaye: I’m not sure if you know, but ‘A-lister’ is a phrase in English to describe a very high-profile celebrity. Didn’t know that, thanks for clearing this! Too bad, because in German it would make perfect sense, I’ve thought it would fit in both languages. Then a new idea that I li…

I found the suggestion for Bundles to be really good. With how diverse of applications you’ll end up with, I think describing the function (e.g. bundling data) is more helpful for a new user. While Collections is close to Bundles, I view a Collection as a permanent group like how one uses folders on…

[image] Perlsowisdom: I found the suggestion for Bundles to be really good. In my opinion does “Bundles” have the same flaw as “Databases”: it’s incorrect. The combined Collection-Query-thing only gives an overview over (some or all) Objects, but it doesn’t contain them. Therefore it isn’t …

Opinionated about relation, but not query/collection so I am not bothered by the name, as long as it’s clear and it sticks and we continue to use it.. But let’s enrich the playground a little bit, what about Library? Since we no longer use library as the term for relation/type library. Library is a…

[image] kaye: I get that many people want more specific details before naming it, however that’s not my UX research approach at this stage. I want to learn how people conceptually view the feature. I don’t conceptually view a feature unless I know what the feature is or what it does. You’re b…

[image] jcdescy: I don’t conceptually view a feature unless I know what the feature is or what it does. Yes, I understand. However, everybody who would respond to this post already knows what this feature does literally (because they use it today), so they already conceptually know what it is…

I find it a bit odd that a few people have commented on “collections” as being static. We have the verb, collect. It’s a very active thing and the result of collecting is the collection. Collections require ongoing maintenance, organizing, etc. which are activities. It’s difficult for me to understa…

[image] kaye: It is hard for new users to understand, indeed. That’s quantifiably the case today. Quantifiably? Like, you have numbers? But even if so, I don’t think renaming those things will help much. It’s a basic concept you need to understand. Notion has it and people seem to be able to …

[image] owlyph: I find it a bit odd that a few people have commented on “collections” as being static. We have the verb, collect. It’s a very active thing and the result of collecting is the collection. That’s already the point why I call a Collection “static”. You explain it yourself: The a…

i’d like to reminnd you all that no word will ever do the hevylifting of explaining a whole feature to people and only part of the world has english as mother tongue; that english is also divided in 2-3 big blocks… think more about what happens when you have to explain it to someone else or that so…
