A few days ago I posted an open Google Doc here and encouraged folks to jump in to brainstorm feature ideas for Mastodon/Fediverse social apps. There are now 6 pages of smart, good ideas, and growing... check it out and add if you have a good one! And pls boost/share with others as you see fit. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EnkjkSW14hR_uTdwEW7vqRaaIXDMlNQ4WRNoPmnn_z0/edit?pli=1#

@elipariser There's a whole github for this....

@aaron I know! (Linked to it in the do ). But I think a lot of folks are intimidated by GitHub so trying something a little more freeform.

@elipariser @aaron it’s definitely intimidating, plus it’s not really fit for use as a feature request platform because issues (often) contain a mix of feature and solution (code) discussion. The Mastodon repo is also a mess right now so there’s that. I fear your document may also become that soon 😬

What’d be grand to sort out popularity would be if it’s an ordered list based on upvotes, and each person can only vote on one thing. Or maybe three things.

@elipariser @aaron if I could only vote on one thing, it’d be fully featured lists (okay, it’s an epic). Follow hashtags and keywords in lists, and include AND/OR/NOT rules for those hashtags and keywords. And the option to hide people you follow from your home timeline, so you can only see them in a list.

Et voila! Supercharged lists! Not much to ask, right? 😅
