Documenting findings
Seen a few requests for a way to group data again.
I have the github one setup.
Github also seems to have a wiki. Maybe just use that as well?
I'll add both as links

Unfortunately the wiki is very basic, only allowing top level pages
I've restructured once again and I feel like this is a decent solution
I've switched over to Pelican since it made rendering content in a specific directory much more easier and it's on Python and I can keep this updated 
It also has a option for automatically categorizing based on its directory name, making it feel more intuitive
The main repo will handle the theming, layout etc.
The wiki however, will be the actual content of the site and is a secondary repository.
Above, there are two urls, Wiki and Contribute. The Wiki looks nice and its theming can be changed, but Contribute is solely the content.
Right now, it's updated by a cron job but I can create a webhook so whenever a commit is pushed, the site will update automatically.
New "articles" should be as simple as creating a markdown file with a minimum of
Title: Demo Title
ContentCategory and Date are automatically set.
Perhaps a readme of editing a file, and proposing the file change or addition would help.
Even if that is too difficult, users can always just post here, or create a issue and if someone decides to help do the change for them, so much the better.
I don't know theming at all, so ideally someone who knows more then me can make it look nice.
But it is a place to organize data in a more permanent fashion then a forum
I signed up for GitHub but have no idea how to edit the Wiki.

Don't know if I've shared this here but @ryans was thinking of a general "intake form" template as sort of an "introduction post" new members could fill out and post.
I have his permission to share it here.
On a separate note, I was wondering if we should have some kind of standard "intake" form on LED Strain, since we're getting new people. Stuff like:
1. What monitors have you used comfortably in the past?
2. What desktop computer have you used comfortably in the past?
3. What laptops have you used comfortably in the past?
4, What smartphone have you used comfortably?
5. What devices are giving you problems?
6. Have you had a vision exam that checked for convergence issues and eye teaming?
7. Any medical history? Lyme Disease? Auto immune?
I'm sure we can come up with more.
(It's a shame Meta posts are hidden from the main page, so I almost never see them.

Have you guys thought of moving this forum over to a subreddit...?
Edit: Might be easier to navigate than some of the extremely long linear threads here, and with the voting it might make it easier to find the most popular avenues for relief. And reddit also allows subreddit wikis/indexes.
nuwio4 Reddit is awful. I mean look at the new design.
I'm not a big fan of this forum software (I mean the underlying code quality is good but I referring to the design, which I will admit has slightly grown on me) and I prefer the old phpBB style layouts, but very few forum software implementations are inherently good at handling long discussions. I fail to see what advantage a subreddit would bring.
I agree about the redesign, I tend to stick to old.reddit.com whenever I use reddit. And I think it might be possible to set a subreddit to stick to the old design. Yea, navingating a long discussion is always going to be problem, but I still think a subreddit might have some benefits.
There doesn't yet seem to be any broad rhyme or reason to our symptoms, and finding relief seems to be serendipitous. For someone new coming upon this problem it might be easier to decide what to try next if, for example, the "Usable Smartphones" discussion took place in a reddit thread where people could vote on devices/suggestions at the same time.

Until they remove it.

We've had a MediaWiki instance, Github static site with pull requests. There's no motivation to get a listing of "information" together and I fail to see how Reddit would be much different in that regard.
How many individual users are on this site anyway? (active or not)

Mark me down officially as a hard NO for moving to Reddit.
Just want to say I appreciate the efforts of JTL and Slacor to keep this community running.smoothly. Activity seems to be up too with more new members making meaningful posts.

JTL I actually don't like voting on comments and didn't realize that had been added. I don't like how people use votes as "agree" and "disagree" buttons that have the power to bury a post. If you have to have SOMETHING I prefer the "like" as before with no negative input, but having downvotes especially leads to bad behavior and hurt feelings and is not needed here especially. Honestly I don't like ranking and approval feedback of any sort in forums like this. It's bad enough in social media and is a big part of why I hate Reddit...everything is a chase for votes and exposure and it creates the attention seeking and "screw you" behavior that goes on there. @Slacor please get rid of the thumbs down button at a minimum....personally I'd like to see it all gone and let things unfold like old forums where every voice is equal.

JTL I personally don't want another reddit/social media experience. I avoid those as it is. Downvotes serve no purpose in this forum other than to say "WRONG" to someone and I very much dislike that. In places like Reddit they are needed it seems to control all the people posting horrible/pointless things since moderation is so poor. The narrow topic and quality moderation here makes them unneeded. I will shut up about it now and apologize if I sound super grumpy about it, but I really hate this idea.
