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. Two Thoughts on Tags

    Is there a way to manage your Tags?
    For example, if I have "apple" and "Apple", is there a way to consolidate them quickly?

    Also, I am unsure of what "Clear tag selection" does. I had a bad experience with another program where I accidentally erased all of my Tags (hours). That program did not have a "verify" step, so I was quite upset. Perhaps this option should be moved lower (below tags) to avoid accidental erasing.

    • More than one favorite

      How about having TWO favorites one on each column.

      • Delete Multiple Sources at Once

        I think there should be a quicker way to delete sources rather than individually

        • 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

          • 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.

            • Subtagging

              It would be nice if by entering a tag like, say, "this: that", "that" would be presented in the tags list as a subtag of the "this" tag, accessible through nested menus.

              I'd really like it because it'd help a lot managing the tags in my scoop.it on literature. I have lots of "author: Someone" tags, tending to grow, and that'd be a way to manage and organize them without letting them drown all the other tags.

              • API should exclude the pinnedpost from the list of returned curated posts

                It would be good if the api would check which id a topic's pinned post has and not collect this post agin in the list of curated posts.

                • Option to disable other's topics suggestions

                  I want to see suggestions readers can make on my topics but I do not want my What's new stream be flooded with suggestion on other topics.

                  An option to view other's topics event would be welcome

                  • Preview button.

                    A "preview button", to check the post before posting. It would be great and useful.

                    • Let me Select Tumblr Blog

                      Here's an "idea" that you marked as completed when it is not: "It's a great tool! But... I need to be able to post to the various Tumblr blogs I have (per topic I curate) - and the same for various specialized Twitter accounts I have - and the same for various Facebook pages. Please! Then, it would be PERFECT!"

                      You have, indeed, fixed the Twitter part but not the Tumblr part!

                      If I produce different Tumblr blogs under one login, I cannot select which blog to connect to. You are forcing it all on my general personal blog. I…

                        Hi Darcy. Good point and well noted. You’re right: this works for Twitter for now but not for Tumblr, hence the fact we closed the previous idea. Sorry about the confusion. We’ll review the idea. Thanks for the feedback.

                        Here's how I would love scoop.it to work.

                        Is there any hope for these changes to be implemented?

                        Thanks

                        • Allow posting to different facebook group pages

                          allow a curator to post to one or more facebook group pages that they are already subscribed to.

                            • Reduce the number of redundant suggestions

                              During each curation session, I always have a lot of links pointing to the same webpage. 1 single link should be proposed to reduce the curation time. Redundant links should be easily detected through URL analysis.
                              Ideally, the discarded links should also be memorized in order not to suggest them at the next curation session.
                              Thanks!

                                • When tweeting a scooped article, include author's Twitter handle

                                  When curating an item, determine if that page is from someone who has a Twitter handle. If so, cite their handle in the tweet so they will easily see the article is in the tweet.

                                    • StatusNet / Identi.ca Support

                                      Extending Scoop.it integration with arbitrary StatusNet servers and, at least with Identi.ca would be really great.

                                      Thanks in advance for considering
