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".
(thinking…)

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.

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

  1. Saving Content for Later Use

    When I find content that I like in the feed that you provide me, an option to save that content for later would be nice. I am on a "publishing schedule" and if I don't want to post about a certain thing one day, maybe the next day I would like to use that specific link.

      • More than one language

        I have two topics for Cuba news... one that I intended to do in English and one in Spanish. But many readers of this subject are bilingual... It would be great if there were some categorization tools so I could tag stories either by subject matter or language (that way bilingual readers could view all stories, and readers who only spoke one of the two languages could filter accordingly). I would use tags, but how many people would really think to us them since they aren't displayed until you click "tags"?

          • Post to multiple topics

            I am imagining curating 3 or 4 different topics but they will have some overlap. As such there are some things I would like to post in more than 1 topic in one action. When I post I am required to choose a topic. Could you consider that there is a check box and I check the topics I want it to go in?

            Of course I can do this myself by posting the same link twice, but that seems inefficient.

            • Allow RSS Feeds to Autopost (on schedule)

              Have an option to allow an RSS feed source automatically post on schedule.

              These RSS feeds would be especially useful for one's website or other trusted feeds.

              • tags

                It would be great to improve tags presentation. Tags should be visible at first glance (like a cloud or anything else..)

                • Short/Full news

                  I want to see a short extract of the articles in the FOLLOW tab and see the whole article in View Topic mode, it would be nice to see full articles, as a full environment, just linking the source article for copyright.

                    • dump the suggested content slide out

                      The new slide out for suggested content is very difficult to use. The scroll bar for the suggested content window is inseperable from the scroll bar for the window behind it. That makes it very hard to scroll through the new post to curate them. Also, when you use the scoop it button in the slide out window, the whole list goes back to the top and you have to read through it all over again.

                        I’m very sorry that you don’t like the suggested content slider and thank you for your feedback, it’s really helpful and I do appreciate it.

                        —Based on the user data gathered by the test, we are planning to keep the slider (I’m sorry!). BUT, if you close the panel once, it will remember that position and always stay closed until you open it.
                        —You shouldn’t have to clear the content in the suggestion slider to get it to close. Are you experiencing this? If so, please email me so we can figure it out.
                        —I’m sorry we weren’t able to give you guys a quicker heads up. We had planned on it, but I think something got lost in translation. Apologies for that.

                        Thank you so much for your support and feedback to make Scoop.it better. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!

                        Best,

                      • check boxes for multiple deletes (saves lots of key strokes & mousing)

                        setting up the topic was painful. having check boxes for each source would help so that I can do mass deletes as either source or item - I've got carpal tunnel problems....

                          • Suggested Content filtering by language

                            Just to get more accurate suggestions when curating !

                            The Topic's Language parameter is not always effective enough.

                            Thanks !

                            • Group several topics together

                              I think it would be interesting to allow users to group the topics they follow, so that all their topics don't get summed up in one messy page with many different potentially unrelated topics.

                              For instance, I'm keen on photography, table tennis, entrepreneurship & innovation, and follow some business topics as well. Getting the summary of what's new in all these topics altogether on one same page doesn't really make sense. But it would be awesome to be able to define say a "Business" group including entrepreneurship and business topics for instance, and a "Personnal" group including photography and TT.

                                Highlighted text should become the text use when using the bookmarklet. Posterous does this and it is very useful!

                                • keyword filtering of RSS

                                  it would be cool if scoop.it could filter RSS for keywords. i've included some RSS feeds that mostly fit my channel but not always. i'd love to be able to only get those results from a given feed that match a keyword criteria.

                                  • help me with tag management

                                    I just started using Scoop.it and already I'm obsessed with scooping everything. One thing that would help is, when I'm setting the tags for a new scoop, to provide a list of all my previous tags. this would help ensure I use the same version of the tag each time with no deviation in spelling, wording, etc.

                                    thanks.

                                    • Suggested Content preview on the Curate page

                                      Here's an idea that would make my life much easier as a curator... When I am going through the day's suggested content on the Curate page, the space on the right hand side is taken up with my latest scoop. Why? I already scooped it, it's history. Much more useful to get a preview of any article I want to check on the left hand side - like using the Reading Pane in Outlook to see an email before you open it. At the moment I have to click on each suggested article, which opens it in a new tab,…

                                        • Move a Scoop from One Topic to Another

                                          Sometimes, I accidentally scoop something to a topic other than the one I intended. I'd like an easy way to simply change the topic, instead of rescooping and without having to delete the original scoop.
