thoughtstreams seems to fit well to my nowadays reading and writing habits. that's nice.
if thoughtstreams makes it into an android app for my tablet:
increase the header's height, make the search field hidable, make the person data on the left hidable or smaller in width, change the hyperlinks outside of paragraphs to buttons, and add the ability to share selected texts and urls from other apps.
I really love the UI's layout so far, and my listed points are not a big problem so far.
this indicator for the reading direction of streams is sometimes too small and too hidden. a bigger arrow icon on the bottom-center of the first card would be nice.
maybe also on the top-center of the last card for convenience.
I wonder how thoughtstreams relates to these fundamental thought processes I stumbled upon this month.
some software companies prefer to test job candidates on the white board instead in front of computers. I think the big advantage is here, that it helps interviewers to better understand the candidate's thought processes and how it relates to the team's thoughts.
there are also visual tools for diagrammatic thinking called thinking maps (based on the works of albert upton and richard samson), that can help with this process.
in thinking maps these processes are basically defining context, describing things, sequencing events, identifying relationships, classifiying, comparing and contrasting as well as analyzing causes and effects and illustrating analogies.
