I want to give the new version of Regroup a different name.
Regroup is a reimplementation of "grouping," which is inconvenient on paper and can be done electronically, hence the name.
In the new implementation, we felt that the grouping was not good as it is now, and that the current grouping was not the core of the functionality, so we considered giving it a different name.
Next action: Write down the current functionality and clarify what is essential.

I want to give the new version of Regroup a different name.
Is there anything else about this "Regroup"?
nishio.iconOriginally, the focus was on grouping, hence the name, but the more I used it, the more I felt grouping was not the essence.
nisbot.iconWhat is the "essence" of this "essence"?
nishio.iconI'm tentatively reading it now as a tool for organizing my head, but it doesn't feel quite right.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "tool" is this "tool"?
nishio.iconTools to move and think about fragments that have been exported or imported
nisbot.iconIs there anything else you can tell us about that "tool"?
nishio.iconI think it's important to have the freedom to move it two-dimensionally.
nisbot.icon
Tools to move and think about the fragments you have exported or imported
Where is this "tool" located?

How do you know about this "tool"?
nishio.iconAt first, it was a system of writing out and making stickies with this tool, and grouping and bundling them, with the image of the KJ method. As I made and used the previous version, I understood it better, and Keicho started to support the writing out part, especially the folding function.
nisbot.iconWhat is it that you value?
nishio.iconIt's good to have a clear head, and probably a lot of extra features now.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "head" is that "head"?
nishio.iconThinking things
nisbot.icon
At first, it was the KJ method, and I used this tool to write things out, make stickies, group them, and bind them together, but as I made and used the previous version, I understood it better, and Keicho helped me with the writing part.
Where is this "tool" located?
nishio.iconIt's like a receptacle that catches the bits and pieces that come out of your head without spilling.
nisbot.iconIs there anything else about that "head"?
nishio.iconYou want to write it down and empty it out and focus on other activities because if you keep it in your head, it's a blur.
nisbot.iconWhere is its "head"?
nishio.iconFirst there is.
nisbot.icon
If you keep it in your head, it's a blur, so you want to write it down and empty it out so you can focus on other activities.
Where does this "head" come from?
nishio.iconby nature
nisbot.icon
At first, it was the KJ method, and I used this tool to write things out, make stickies, group them, and bind them together, but as I made and used the previous version, I understood it better, and Keicho helped me with the writing part.
What do you hope will happen regarding this "tool"?
nishio.iconI'm thinking of making a new version, but I feel like it's not a good idea to drag the old name around, and I need a good word to describe what I'm going to make.
nisbot.iconWhat needs to happen to the "tool" for that to happen?
nishio.iconI guess it's about cutting down on functionality.
nisbot.iconWhat "function" is that "function"?
nishio.iconCurrently, I've put in too many things that I thought would be nice to have, so maybe I should write them down and organize them.

How do you know this "head"?
nishio.icon🙁
nisbot.icon
I guess it's about cutting down on functionality.
Is there anything else you can tell us about this "feature"?
nishio.iconWriting out the features to be kept: make it a sticky, move it two-dimensionally, draw on it with a pen, zoom, make the sticky bigger, need a different form from the current implementation regarding grouping, making it a block that can be moved together is beneficial, the ability to fold it is inadequate
nisbot.iconWhere is its "function"?
nishio.iconIt's in the source code, some of it's in the manual, maybe not all of it.
nisbot.icon
Write down the functions to be kept: make stickies, move them two-dimensionally, draw on them with a pen, zoom, make stickies bigger, need different form from current implementation regarding grouping, make them into blocks that can be moved together would be beneficial, fold function is insufficient.
What does this "feature" look like?
nishio.iconIt's like stationery, you can use it to help you think, but now it's scattered all over your desk, including the ones that are hard to use, and it's making your desk harder to use.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "thoughts" are those "thoughts"?
nishio.iconThe process by which humans create new things
nisbot.icon
Write down the functions to be kept: make stickies, move them two-dimensionally, draw on them with a pen, zoom, make stickies bigger, need different form from current implementation regarding grouping, make them into blocks that can be moved together would be beneficial, fold function is insufficient.
How do you know this "function"?
nishio.iconThe problem is that there are so many that we can't keep track of them.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "problem" is this "problem"?
nishio.iconToo much stationery.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "stationery" is this "stationery"?
nishio.iconTools to help organize your thoughts
nisbot.iconWhere do these "tools" come from?
nishio.iconI've added more and more features as I've thought of them.
nisbot.iconWhere is this "function" located?
nishio.iconIn my head, in the source code, and in the manuals.
nisbot.iconWhere is this "head" located?
nishio.iconI should write it down because it's muddled.
nisbot.icon
Tools to help you organize your thoughts
What does this "tool" look like?
nishio.iconstationery
nisbot.iconIs there anything else you can tell us about that "stationery"?
nishio.iconIt needs to be stable and usable. Right now the pen function of Regroup is broken, so to speak, and the pen is left out of ink, which is not good. For stress-free use, it must be a small number of well-maintained stationery.
nisbot.iconWhere is this "stationery" located?
nishio.iconLet's write it down and organize it.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "do" is that "do"?
