[Feature Request] Allow not displaying names on the post-it-notes

rrsai opened this issue · comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? There is a Please describe.
The current authenticated board system doesn't allow for the power of anonymity/free-ownership. It's human nature to have a heavy bias by authors not to edit or write or mess with notes that other authors wrote, and this is cemented by having the user's names on post-it-notes.
In essence, a work context will mostly prevent people from touching other people's notes with names on them.

  • I expect it also decreases people's willingness to write up problems frankly (e.g. in the context of retrospectives).
  • Names are also a bit of a distraction from the concept on the note.
  • If I take notes on what others say, I cannot ascribe any name but my own to the notes.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either it would be nice to be able to toggle invisible all usernames, or allow users to "public domain" their post-it note and take their names off of it to relinquish it to the group.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried logging out, but the board I experienced is locked down to reaktor.com or reaktor.fi email addresses, and so I can't avoid putting my name on every note.
Other boards that I have used do not have names on the notes.
