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.

    • Idenfity major influencers with Topic Communities

      By identifying major players from around the web and ranking their contributions not by quantity but quality and to identify which web-based communities they influence the most would be invaluable. Especially for individuals hoping to connect with the community and identify individuals with expertise within those areas who would be willing to share it.

          Please make it possible to share with all of the groups users are a member of in LinkedIn. e.g. I belong to 20 groups, and I would like to share an item I have scooped with ten of them. Thanks so much, Amy.

          • configure source to not suggest posts more than two weeks old

            As it stands, the only option to limit the age of posts when configuring your sources is either "any" or some number of months. I would like this to be more flexible -- I don't want a post that's more than two weeks old but if you put in (for example) 0.5 months, you get an error.

            • layout

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

                • Page numbering

                  Readers do not always scroll down to the bottom of a page to see there a many more pages. Is there a way to put the number of pages than just one at the top of each page to remind me that there is much more to see?

                  • Make the "Filter" button and all tags visible to all readers, not just the poster.

                    When I am not signed in to my account, but I go to the URL for my Topic, I can't see any filter options (tags). Either I am doing it wrong (I'm still new at Scoop.It), or it's not visible to a non-signed-in person who only has the URL for the Topic.

                    • Hook into Flipboard and Pocket

                      Right now it takes abt 3 clicks to curate something if you are consuming it in Flipboard or Pocket. Why not enable one to Share" via a single click?

                      • better support for pdf's

                        A link to http://lgtmedical.com/LGT_WHITEPAPER.pdf creates a huge blank white area. I'm guessing that's because you're only showing the top-left corner of the page; can you shrink the image to show the whole page? (alternatively, perhaps your pdf rendering needs some love?)The blank white really messes up my feed.

                          • Categories and/or hierarcial tags

                            It would be great, if tagging and/or categorinzing would be more comfortable:
                            Suggestions of Tags, I already have (don't work after restart computer), tree structure, tags plus categories - something like that.

                                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

                                  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

                                  • Archive instead of delete?

                                    Hey there,

                                    I'm just wondering if there might be a way to archive articles we've scooped, so that we can get them off the page but not have to find and load them again if we'd like to use them in the future.

                                    Thanks,

                                    David

                                      • share my Scoops with kippt

                                        It would be awesome to automagically send scopps over to kippt.com because they have what i am missing here: they actually !save! the content behind the links that we are curating. So there you can build your own archive of the interwebs.
                                        With this, there would also be another "Newsletter Workaround" that you recently blogged about by using MailChimp.

                                        • Provide a "contact support" that does NOT rely on your widget (which doesn't work on my comp)

                                          Your widget doesn't work for me, hence I can't send email to support and have to post here.
                                          Your new CSS (aka "the slider") has been broken since day one.
                                          For some reason,it works on bazaar, but not at all on "news we like".
                                          Please contact me by email since I can't contact you.
