Scrapbox Limited Public Operation

Nov 20, 2024, 3 min read

  • I had been operating Scrapbox privately until recently.

  • I had been thinking about making it public again, but there are some things that would be a bit problematic if it’s public, such as screenshots of people’s slides, results of private surveys, and photos with other people’s faces.

  • Because of this, I don’t want to make it completely public to the world, but I want to try a method where I invite acquaintances as editors.

  • Explanation to those people: To the People I ⭐️invited

    • It’s working quite well.
      • It’s lively and fun.
      • It gathers related information that I didn’t know.
      • Other people dig up things I wrote in the past.
    • Challenges I feel:
      • It’s difficult to invite non-Scrapboxers.
        • They might wonder what to do when they see a miscellaneous memo box.
      • They need to open /blu3mo to read it.
        • It’s obvious, but
          • Personally, I don’t feel like it’s as big of a problem as I initially thought (nishio).
            • Maybe it’s because projects with updates are marked with a green line in the Scrapbox project list tab, and “b” is near the top in alphabetical order.
            • (/icons/I see)(blu3mo)
        • I think it would be nice to have a place like Village Pump where everyone’s posts are gathered together, so that people can say “just check here.”
        • /nishio/Participating_in_other_people’s_projects_on_Scrapbox

          • I don’t read other people’s projects in the first place.

          • Actually, I don’t read them.

          • “Not reading” means “not reading all pages” and “not reading every day.”

          • When I’m in a state where I can read, there are times when I burst into reading due to some trigger.

          • I see (blu3mo).
      • I keep checking periodically, hoping that someone has written something.
        • It’s a problem like in /shokai/There_is_a_bug_in_humans_that_stimulates_the_desire_for_approval_and_reduces_intelligence
        • The problem might be that I’m polling.
          • It has the same structure as a Skinner box.
            • It’s not a system where you always get information when you check, but a system where you have a probability of getting information when you check.
            • It involves random rewards.
        • On the other hand, I think it would be mitigated to some extent if I use push notifications like RSS (takker).
          • Reading other people’s projects triggered by notifications from a notification app.
            • For example, I found out about the update of this page through a notification.
          • It’s particularly effective for projects with low update frequency.
            • It avoids the mental fatigue of “checking and finding no updates OTL.”
          • RSS is too frequent, so it’s just right to adjust the frequency with /programming-notes/Bot_that_notifies_Scrapbox_updates_daily or something like that (sponsored content).
          • The downside is that most of the notifications for my own projects are my own edits (blu3mo).
            • If I create a system that notifies only the lines that have been updated and do not match my user ID, it should work (takker).
    • It would be good to have Scrapbox Slack notifications flowing so that we can see who edited each post.- It is unlikely, but even if it were to be vandalized, we would be able to identify who did it.

  • We can also identify who wrote it, even if they forgot to add an icon.

  • Notification of writing on Scrapbox by users other than oneself

  • I occasionally see people who are implementing this practice as well.
