@jarango unless you do a little tending on the go rather than doom scrolling.

Since the vast majority of humans on the planet only have a phone as their one and only computing device, I think it’s very important to make great experiences for knowledge work on mobile.

@austingovella @boris the issue is that tending a knowledge garden consists mostly of text editing, and phone form factors constrain what you can do here.

Most people aren't going to manage one of these things anyway. Those that do will use a device with a full-sized keyboard. There's too much friction otherwise.

@jarango @austingovella I think that’s a very constrained view. Everyone tends their gardens differently.

There’s a whole wave of spatial canvas interfaces arising, which are great on touch screens.

And there’s a number of people that use Twitter (and now Mastodon) to link and re-use threads over years.

@boris @austingovella I was talking about *phones*, not touch screens. I do a lot of work on my iPad, which has a touch screen. (And a keyboard.)

I've used spatial canvases as well, and find them really interesting. But I don't think you can effectively manage these things on a six-inch screen.

@jarango @austingovella I do! And lots of others do as well!

Look at how many words we’ve already typed back and forth.

And people who have grown up with phones are even faster!

Most of humanity only has a mobile device. Our tools should probably optimize for them even more.
