What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

As of April 1st, 2023 the biggest problem plagueing the WorldAnvil community is the fact that we actually have to write down the thoughts in our heads. This is a massive roadblock to many aspiring creatives such as myself and I believe the only successful way to mediate this problem is by designing, prototyping, and shipping a Direct Mental Uplink device to active users within the community.
While I understand that this device is theoritical at best, I have full confidence that the team that keeps WorldAnvil running have the available time, energy, and passion to properly create Direct Mental Uplink devices. Better yet - through the use of blockchain methodology - I believe the team could easily create this device in a manner that the cost, not including shipping, could be as low as 10,119.99 USD.
 

How does this feature request address the current situation?

With access to Direct Mental Uplink technology, us creatives could think thoughts and have them directly implimented into WorldAnvil itself rather than having to use analog options such as typing, audio transcription, or paying others on Fivver to write content for us.
 

What are other uses for this feature request?

If done properly, and with the use of latest AI technology, I see a future in which the creative users of WorldAnvil could use their Direct Mental Uplink devices during their daily rest states so that their dreams could also be uploaded in real time to the users WorldAnvil site.
 

Further Rambling

Myself, and my coauthors, would be willing to work as interns to test the reliability of these Direct Mental Uplink devices as long as you buy us pizza once in a while. One of us has requested a Starbuck allowance, but I believe we can negotiate them down to simply Dunkin' Donuts.

Follow up


Okay, we can take this down now. People have spent enough coins LOL


This is your parental figure speaking, stop spending coins!!

The Team's Response

Thank you for your reasonable suggestion and your insightful thoughts! This has been added to our roadmap—tentative release date is the year 2250.

    Why stop here?   Once implemented, our devs could surely use this feature to code and implement even more features faster.   What could go wrong? The possibilities are endless!

    One would be a “Fool” not to see the true potential of this feature. What could possibly go wrong? The efficiency of world creation would be increased exponentially. I would recommend that when the dream link option is implemented that there be filters added to limit what type of content would be uplinked to WA. I don’t know about most people, but some of my dreams should not be let loose on the outside world.

    I think this is dangerous and walking a fine line where the world is heading. But of course, just my opinion.

    I mean, on one hand, hell yes!!!   On the other, I've seen enough anime and read enough sci fi to see where this is going. With mental uplinks will also come mental downloads to project these worlds directly into our minds, and I'd rather not accidentally get stuck in some of these worlds. The food themed one seems nice but I might also be stuck in the world with giant walking dead gods. Not sure I even want to live in my own world! Once pandora's box gets opened when it comes to mind linking with computers, the possibilities are more often scary than not. So, it's a hard no from me. (/s, I'm honestly all for it!)

    Neat idea, however, I don't believe that the technology for such a feature exists yet. Maybe in a few decades, or so.
