Alex: Status Update 2025-07-29

Last week I've implemented discovery for comments (and actually any other snapshot-based resource in theory). For this week I'll be working on the following things:

Migrating UI Components from Tamagui to Tailwind

(Photo by Miko Guziuk on Unsplash) When we adopted Tamagui, our goal was ambitious but clear: build a unified UI component system that we could reuse across all platforms — Electron (desktop), Web (Remix), and eventually React Native for mobile. The dream of writing once and reusing everywhere was enticing, and early on, it felt like we were on the right track. But reality hit us hard. The Challenges We Faced Admitting Our Part in It Setting a Plan in Motion Choosing Our New Stack Failed Attempts and What We Learned Where We Are Now Thanks for reading! This migration has been a tough but necessary move to keep our momentum as a startup. I’ll continue to share updates as we progress — and hopefully provide more insights for anyone considering a similar shift. Update: 19/06/2025 Update: 22/07/2025

Design Updates: Activity Panel, Contacts

Activity Panel Contacts

Activity Panel Read Order

All activity subpanels should have a read order from top to bottom that means that the lates activity will be at the top and the oldest will be at the bottom. Feed / All Activity Version History Citation Discussion Directory

WordPress importer

Objective Import content from WordPress into Seed Hypermedia, turning posts/pages into documents in a site?

Each post includes:    is my understanding of the project correct?

Improve search results ordering

Solution to make recent relevant matches appear first

Private Docouments

The state of private for a document will be a document property of each independent document. This will be able to be changed on the document settings panel. Document Settings Membership Permissions Joining Experience For Users

Idea for Copy and Comment block

What if we append the copy and comment block icons to the end of the text? It is already a common practice on the web to add the copy section link adjacent to the h1, h2, h3 heading text. Let's do it for headings and paragraphs. It solves the problem of having the icons of the content. It is very handy and visual.

Improve Open a Document

Users find Open a Document a very hard action to accomplish. Nevertheless it is one of the most important actions in Seed. I believe we could massively improve the experience by:

We might need Multiple Feeds

what if we can have multiple feeds in the app?

Discussions Data flow

This is how the discussions panels work on Seed

Deleted old documents make paths unavailable

I think they should be available.

Hypothesis in Education

Great video about the power of annotating in education.
