Explain the problem as you see it
In a shared workspace, it is difficult to "acknowledge" something someone as created in the workspace without creating another node to comment.
Why is this a problem for you?
I want to encourage/acknowledge the work that someone is doing within a graph, without making a mess.
Suggest a solution
Giving a "thumbs up", "confetti", or "heart" can have the intended effect, without creating too much noise. It wouldn't create a new node, and would be easy to trigger. This approach has been used successfully by Slack, Roam, and more.
With this suggestion, I would also encourage the ability to "hide" emoji-responses on a node, or to toggle the visibility of reactions throughout the workspace to give control over visability.
Other possible solutions/workarounds:
- I am considering an "emoji reaction" field to apply to nodes that has an "always hide" status. It would need a live search feed based on date modified to surface the feed of reactions somewhere.
- The problem with this solution is that it requires monitoring the live search, is not easily visible, is less fun, and is harder to do, and to train others in proper usage.
- An emoji with a plus symbol on hover feels more elegant.
