"textContent": "I’d like to share some UX feedback after actively using ChatGPT Projects as a long-term thinking and knowledge management environment.\n\nThe core issue is not individual features, but “continuity of thought.”\n\nHere are the main friction points I experienced:\n\n 1. Inconsistent draft/input persistence between Web and App\n\n\n * Web keeps unfinished input reliably\n\n * App sometimes loses draft input\n\n\n\n\nThis creates a strong feeling of “thought interruption.”\nFor users doing long-form thinking or structured project work, draft persistence is critical.\n\n 2. UX inconsistency between Direct Chats and Projects\nExamples:\n\n\n * Different reaction systems (e.g. “Nice”)\n\n * Different interaction feeling\n\n * Different lightweight behaviors\n\n\n\n\nFrom a user perspective, both are still “ChatGPT,” so behavioral differences create cognitive load.\n\n 3. Projects are evolving into knowledge workspaces\nProjects are not just folders.\nFor advanced users, they become:\n\n\n * thinking environments\n\n * structured knowledge systems\n\n * iterative workflows\n\n\n\n\nIn that context, UX consistency becomes more important than adding isolated features.\n\nMy suggestion:\n“Unify the UX philosophy, optimize the UI per use case.”\n\nExamples:\n\n * Consistent draft persistence everywhere\n\n * Consistent interaction basics\n\n * Preserve the deeper, focused nature of Projects without turning them into social/chat spaces\n\n\n\n\nOne more future-looking request:\nPartial conversation extraction / re-edit based migration between projects would greatly improve knowledge refinement workflows.\n\nIn short:\n“UX is not just usability — it is continuity of thought.”\n\nThank you for building this platform.",
