Problem/solution threads
-
I think this is a good idea to prevent ideas from requiring constant rediscovery (aka making stuff more orginised for future use and even meta analaysis for further ideas)
Example:
- Concept
Topic page → “Serotonin” with two auto-curated threads:
Thread A: Effects → Harms and Benefits (toggle or two tabs).
Thread B: Modulators → Lowers and Raises serotonin (same UI).
- Card model (applies to both threads)
Claim (1-sentence, direction + endpoint).
Mechanism (optional, 1 line).
Context (human/animal/in-vitro; acute/chronic; dose/exposure).
Outcome tag(s) (e.g., migraine, BP, anxiety; receptor if known: 5-HT2A, 1A…).
Evidence grade (A RCT / B cohort / C case / D animal / E in-vitro).
Confidence (Low/Med/High).
Citation (PMID/DOI, year, authors) + link.
Signals: upvotes, expert endorsements, “counter-evidence” count.
- Ranking (don’t sort only by likes)
Default EvidenceRank: score = 0.45evidence_grade + 0.25log(1+upvotes) + 0.2expert_endorse + 0.1recency_decay – penalties(duplicates, retractions) Sorting options: Most Liked, Newest
- Faceted filters
Model (human/animal), receptor, system (CNS/vascular/endocrine), endpoint (pain, BP…), time-course (acute/chronic), sex/age when available.

Canonicalization (merge dupes by citation).
Example : of how it will look
Effect → Harm | Vascular | Human (older) | Evidence C | Confidence M
Serotonin reduces local cerebral blood flow (~30%); potential ischemic relevance.
Mechanism: vasoconstrictive 5-HT receptors.
Citation: Aleksandrin 2005 (PMID/DOI).Effect → Harm | Migraine | Human | Evidence B | Confidence M
Serotonin implicated in migraine; antagonism/agonism explored therapeutically.
Citation: Dalessio 1962; Berman 2006.Effect → Endocrine | Pituitary | Animal | Evidence D | Confidence L
5-HT agonists + estrogen synergize in pituitary tumor development (aging rats).
Citation: Walker & Cooper 1985.Modulator → Raises
Item would specify Agent/Exposure, receptor action, context, effect size if known, then cite.- UX details
