Problem

Long decisions are hard to finish in one sitting, and a dropped connection throws away your place. Members on unreliable networks don't get a fair read.

Why it matters

The right to finish reading is part of the right to vote. Connectivity shouldn't pick the electorate.

Potential solutions

No solution has been proposed. The problem is the point, for now.

Synthesis

Drawn from the discussion. Not a decision.

Long decisions are hard to finish in one sitting, and a dropped connection throws away your place. Members on unreliable networks don't get a fair read.

Evidence

  • The community has not attached concrete evidence yet. The case still rests on the original problem statement.

Community sentiment

  • Demand is specific. Supporters keep returning to the same broken moment, not a vague wish list.

Arguments for

  • I don't need offline voting. I need the problem and the options to still be there when the train goes under a hill.

Arguments against

  • No strong objection has been written yet. That is not the same as agreement.

Alternatives

  • The thread has not proposed a solution yet. That keeps the focus on the problem.

Open questions

  • If the text is cached and the vote closes, what do we show when they reconnect?

Treat “Read a decision with no connection” as a problem statement: Long decisions are hard to finish in one sitting, and a dropped connection throws away your place. Ask the hive to propose the smallest change that would make the problem smaller. Why it matters here: The right to finish reading is part of the right to vote.
