Ideas and Improvements

Hi! We want to hear from you – what can we do to make sure that Scoop.it is the best platform it can possibly be? Don’t hesitate to share thoughts, ideas, improvements, or features that you’d like to see implemented.

How can we improve Scoop.it?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

  1. Turn pages like a magazine

    Since it is about "publishing gorgeous magazines", would it be possible to turn pages like a magazine ? Cf Flip Board Wow effect. I would like to be able to build a page with some scoops. Other scoops on other pages. As such, the site is too static. Thanks.

    • Allow basic text style for all scoop.it users

      Allow the use of italics and other basic text styles for all users. When commenting upon articles or books referenced in scooped items it would be nice to be able to put book titles in italics as they should be. There are many educators who cringe because they can not italicize book titles. Quotation marks are not proper. I find myself apologizing for appearing to not know how to properly type book titles.

      • An idea for development :

        An idea for development : enable to create various “sub topics” within a main topic; for example 4 “sub topics” which could be easily identified as you look at a scoop.it account – when you like to know more about the “sub topic” you scroll down the “sub topic”. I feel it will be useful or at least it will be for the topic I intend to have.

        • Switch between accounts

          Hello, It would be great to be able to switch between accounts without having to login and out (like with Google). I manage two Scoopits: a personal one and an institutional one.
          Thanks for your attention

          • Use own url shortener

            Some people don't see a Scoop.it url as a sign of quality but as a fear for spam. I would like to use my own url shortener (courtesy of bit.ly) as a default shortener.

            • Moving articles on the page should be easier

              Moving articles on the page is currently a bit clumsy. I would prefer dragging and dropping them around the page; this would allow more easily eg. grouping one type of articles on one side of the page. Also, there seems to be no way of exiting the current "move article" mode, eg if I decide I don't want to move the article.

                      • Layout Design Improvements

                        It would be nice if a curator could control a few more layout elements with regards to the scoops:
                        - Cross-column scoops: Like Facebook's Timeline, being able to arrange a scoop across the two columns (for the top scoop perhaps)
                        - Control the length of text underneath a scoop: a simple drag-tab would allow the curator to determine the length of each article as to get a better image/text ratio.
                        - Category tags: a little colored label/tag/flap (not unlike the rescoop-label) that allows the reader to see under what tag or category the article is archived - like a newspaper's…

                              I'd like more flexible layouts. Three column, maybe for column. Unlimited entries per page (don't restrict length).

                              • Date

                                Hi,
                                When you've swapped the Curator's name and the one of the Autor of the source, you've kept the date of curation in place, it has nothing to do there.
                                Either you are able to get the right date of the source's edition, or you should place the date of curation aside the Curator's name.
                                Regards
                                @JMFLB

                                • bit.ly custom shortened links

                                  As a white label option I would like the above to be possible.
                                  Scoop.it would replace the http://sco.lt/... with the custom short domain you have on biy.ly

                                  • long and short note

                                    It would be very interesting if the content of a scoop can be cut in two parts, short note on the timeline and possibility to open long note ! Scoop it does not work very well with long notes and however these ones are sometimes useful

                                    • Rearrange my scoop topics

                                      I would like to rearrange my scoop topics. I now have 5 topics, but there are topics which I started at first I would like to place to the back. Now on your profile the first topic you started is on top, but I would like to place that topic to the second row in my profile and another topic on top. Can we make that possible?
