Ideas

The project scratchpad for capturing creative ideas.

The Ideas page is a freeform scratchpad for capturing creative thoughts associated with a project. It's a quick-capture space -- not structured, not tied to any specific episode or entity.

Creating ideas

Click New Idea to open an edit dialog. Type your idea as freeform text (multi-line supported). Save to add it to the list.

The list has one Content column, showing each idea's creation timestamp and first line as a summary (e.g. "Jan 14, 9:21 PM - What if the robot has a second personality...").

Actions

Action Notes
Edit Click an idea to open the edit dialog
Archive On the row's "..." menu. Moves the idea to the archived view, keeping it without cluttering the active list. The edit dialog has the same button.
Unarchive The same menu item, on an idea that is already archived
Star / Unstar The star icon at the left of each row
Delete On the row's "..." menu. Asks you to confirm, then removes the idea.

Filtering

Two controls sit above the list:

  • An active / archived pair. One of them is always chosen to begin with; click the chosen one again to turn the filter off and see both.
  • Recent / Starred / All, which orders the list -- most recently opened first, favourites first, or by name.
