Here's some general things we think about when deciding whether a suggestion is going to happen:
- How much work would it be? We're a small team of volunteers, so if something is going to take more than a day to implement, it's less likely to happen. I think this suggestion would be quite a lot of work.
- How useful is it? If something is super useful, we're more likely to put in the effort (eg markers were a lot of work, but they're super powerful).
- Does it increase the maintenance burden? Adding a new UI like this would drastically increase the burden. Any time we make a change, we'd have to make sure it works in both regular OS and OS kids. Complicated code is also bad, but that's not relevant to this suggestion.
- Does it fit with the goals of the site? This is not an issue for this suggestion, but we want to keep the barrier to entry low. It's really easy to jump into OS and just start clicking notes. All the more complicated features like markers can be learned gradually as you need them.
I think this would be too much work to do (depending on the details of what you're proposing), and it would significantly increase the maintenance burden. I don't think this feature is solving a big problem either.
I would agree. That it would be a lot of work.
