I really like quote reply from different threads most under utilized tool ever. Because if you go back to the original, it gives you a clean little link vs the ugly split topic graphic.

#5

^ that’s from just copying the link to the post

#6

So I’m all for setting up topics proper with formatting and then just quote linking posts under that topic. It’s cleaner.

Talking about going forward with what we have sorry

#8

And we should decide a reasonable length before expanding a topic. I did it until I ran out room but that was because it kept growing.

#9

Impeachment was a test to see if I could expand topics. I should have far expanded more often to make it more comprehensible.

#10

Crazy times whatever :crazy_face:

#11

What was was your process for doing that? Want to make sure I understand ya

#12

I just expanded 2020, it’s got everything now under a single header.

#13

Everything is stand alone it’s all just in copy hyperlinks for us humans to follow.

There has to be a flow forward and back tho or people get lost.

I made impeachment more work than it needed to be and I should linked to the comment not the news story because we lost a lot of nuance because when I would summarize the stories each week I would sort them by date, committee and theme.

I used a color coded google sheet to sort the stories and I would leave out less than great sourcing, so it was always the top stories. Batch copy them and update all the links. Took maybe four hours on a Friday or Tuesday, once a week. I have a good memory but there was so much news that I enjoyed a weekly recap.

But really I realized if I had just made the threads shorter I wouldn’t have needed to summarize at all except by committee.

This is all my work tho. :point_down: Documents especially, which I’ve been meaning to update with all the Senate Intel reports and buzzfeed/cnn stuff.
