  1. SaidIt wish list

  2. SaidIt IRC Chat wish list

  3. SaidIt future wish list

These lists of ideas are good, bad, ugly, and incomplete. Some of the bad ideas may lead to better ones so even the bad ideas are helpful, if for nothing other than an issue indicator and placeholder.

These lists may be alphabetical, in some arbitrary order, or a combination. Please feel free to contribute to these lists or solutions and organize as you see fit.

Note: These lists were copied from https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt#Wish_lists That article has some reference links back to discussions here on SaidIt. With usage these lists' content will no longer mirror. Without usage these lists may grow outdated as these issues get addressed.



SaidIt wish list

Organization:

  • improved search to include comments

  • metatags and better classification of subs, posts, and comments

  • opt-in expanded notifications, beyond default-responses-only

    • notify for all comments/responses in threads I've participated in
    • notify for all comments/responses in post I've participated in
    • notify for all posts in my subs
    • notify for all posts in selected subs
  • better page sorting options

    • (ie. hierarchy branch, newest comments, oldest comments, etc)
  • better history viewing beside just "next"

    • (ie. "previous | next | pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., last | view 50 | view 100 | view ###)
  • ability for a poster to edit/rename/move a post (with a permanent redirecting link left behind)

  • ability for a poster to categorize a single post under multiple subs

    • ability for another to request the poster to categorize a single post under other subs

Themes:

  • improved site-wide dark theme CSS

    • customizable themes, and sub themes
    • universal site-wide flair
    • universal site-wide flair would be overwritten by sub flair
    • theme and flair templates collected and saved on a wiki for quick easy common access and editing
    • make all flair link to a common list of all items with that flair
    • make multiple flair tags possible - like metatags or categories
    • make all flair searchable - like metatags or categories
  • SVG and GIF images in addition to JPG and PNG

  • user only CSS themes

    • applies to user overviews, messages, etc
    • option for user to override all sub themes or only subs with universal default theme
  • banner images randomized from a selection gallery

    • with the acceptance of the new SaidIt logo, anyone can make their own images with it
    • with the new SaidIt logo, or without it, folks might submit their banner designs for voting and/or approval
    • InfoGalactic may be a place to submit images to potentially be adopted into the SaidIt selected banner gallery

Posts:

  • a secondary image or link source would be great so that you can specifically illustrate better than the default link could

Voting:

  • Saidit, what if we showed who voted on everything? (2019-02-01+)

  • to fix : when you vote for your own comment as funny, the funny number goes down

  • more than just two emoticon-voting classification options (Insightful/Interesting & Funny/Fun)

  • a "viewed/unviewed" or "read/unread" neutral non-vote marker so a person can keep tabs of what they've seen before or not

Voting algorithm:

  • It ranks "hot" & "top" feeds & sorts subsaidits. Is this algorithm public?

  • Can less hot feeds be calculated, perhaps weekly, monthly, and/or interactively, rather than just "Hot Today"?

  • [5] "The SaidIt voting algorithm ranks "hot" & "top" feeds & sorts subsaidits. Is this algorithm public? Can less hot feeds be calculated, perhaps weekly, monthly, and/or interactively, rather than just "Hot Today"? I miss many good posts, have trouble keeping up, & find some bloom later. Comments?" (2019-02-10)

Subs:

  • sub modes

    • default all-in opt-out
    • admin-recommended selections
    • reset to none
    • custom
    • new sub auto-subscribe : on/off (default on)
    • new sub notification/message : on/off
  • more subs per week (current max = 1)

    • an increase from 1 to 2 or more
    • or an increase every X amount of time, perhaps to a reasonable maximum
    • or an increase every X points earned, perhaps to a reasonable maximum
  • multi-sub-cross-posting would be nice

    • one post that could be shared (ie. be listed under "collusion", "conspiracy", "crime", and "USGovernment")
  • synonymous subs would be nice

    • (ie. a post in "America" or "US" would automatically be relocated to the "USA" sub)
    • this would require permissions when one mod wants to redirect to another mod's sub
  • user overview - optional auto-expand "Moderator Of" section

Sub lists:

(ie. My Subs, New Subs, Popular Subs)

  • right margin list of "Your Front Page Subs" features some icons (ie. my subs, not approved, 18+, etc.) and this may be a great place to add more icons and/or classifications such as:

    • 0 posts (grey)
    • 1-10 posts (brown)
    • 11-20 posts (orange)
    • 21+ posts (yellow
    • ##do = days old (green)
    • ##mo = months old (blue)
    • ##yo = years old (purple)
    • non-English flags for language
    • categories (from SaidIt Subs Ending 2018):
    • * celebrity, crime, economics, energy, health, history, ideology, internet, media, politics, regional, SaidIt, self-help, sports, technology
  • below the list of subscribed subs could be a list of unsubscribed subs making it far easier to see and find much older subs without having to scroll through the countless pages, even if there were better navigation tools (lacking)

Messaging/Notification:

  • to email

  • better history viewing beside just "next"

    • (ie. "previous | next | pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., last | view 50 | view 100 | view ###)

  • stronger personalization and community functionality

    • personal avatars

SaidIt IRC Chat wish list

  • thumbnails

    • large image thumbnails
    • large link thumbnails
    • large video thumbnails
    • embedded videos
  • personal avatars

  • a single unified chat crossover chat app compatible to many sources, like Pigeon (software)

    • (ie. one chat app rather than several: SaidIt, Discord, Orbit, etc)



SaidIt future wish list

  • SaidIt on the Fediverse via Mastodon (software), etc.

  • a SaidIt version of MediaWiki, perhaps as a Wikipedia mirror/fork or as an additional filter/overlay

  • a SaidIt vault (possibly in a wiki), an archive to web-scrape and store all linked content, should they go stale

    • articles
    • media (images, books, audio, video, etc)
    • as a decentralized (shared) permanent web archive
  • "I had an idea for yet ANOTHER project today. If the folks on SaidIt could crowdsource draft weekly scripts of a high enough caliber about the news, etc. And if someone could provide a good voice and perhaps sound engineering - I could animate an old-style newsman at a desk with a screen over his shoulder with sourced imagery. "SAIDIT WEEKLY UPDATE" After a few episodes all the kinks should be worked out, including some automation, and with submissions with footage it should be pretty easy to smash out." [40]

  • SaidIt Network (see future Wish list) [41]

    • decentralization options
    • SaidIt's FreeSpeech.wiki
    • SaidIt.tv
    • * SaidIt could start a channel, and regardless where or how the video is hosted, it would always be embedded on SaidIt. Naturally the various video hosting platforms would have crossover supportive communities too.
  • In The Lounge Chat, Vigte suggested, "What about a saidit podcast - every month or whatever, D3rr and Magnora interview someone from the community to shoot the shit. Even if it's like 15 minutes lol."[42]
