Discussion about product design
- We went over the full list of features we wanted for Mace.
- Features were roughly categorised by importance (from crucial to unimportant)
- We talked about where we would want error messages (e.g. from executing bad commands on the command bar) to go
- errors are printed in a new tab? One tab for all error messages, or does each tab/window get its own error tab?
- we don’t want error messages to intrude
- we also don’t want error messages to disappear before they can be inspected fully
- We talked about wanting to minimise pop-ups
- We talked about the idea of lean startup (starting with minimal features and building upwards
- We decided that the client-server architecture would be put on the backburner (at least for now), due to implementation difficulties
Miscellany
- The etymology and alleged misuse of the word “argument”
- German pedagogy and Latin chanting
