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. 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,

    • Help enable unique content in Scoop.it.

      Robin Good created a unique article. When it was reScooped, his origina text was gone, along with the sense of the article and the links therein. I went to reScoop a reScooped version and found no way to get that content besides going back to the original and dumping it into my curator comments.

      Here's our dialog:

      Hi Mike Ellsworth,

      • Guide for New Content Curators for Curating Content

        Is there already something which tells curators how to post content, not just the mechanical side but the actual posting like a guide to better content curating versus just adding links like a dumping ground.

        Could each content curator here awhile contribute a tip or two and have a link back to their account (or a topic on it) to promote our topics but also show people some good examples of how to display the content curated.

        I'm writing this because I'd like to see people here who are taking the time and care to do it right. Too many…

          • Auto-scoop

            an "auto scoop" option attached to each source that would automatically scoop posts from these sources and share them with the default options of the topic

              • Tag Manager

                Build a TAG MANAGER that will allow you to edit your TAGS (delete the spelling mistakes etc.) Also allow you to put TAGs into groups. I often use the same tags for many of my Scoops. If I could just enter a whole group quickly with code or something that would really save a bunch of time and I could curate more!

                      • Add the possibility to select tags in the export function

                        It would be great to filter articles by tags when using the export function.

                        Thanks !

                        • Allow people with FB, Google accounts etc to comment

                          I think it would be beneficial if people without a scoop account (because many may not want one) could add a comment to scoops and thus increase readership interest and involvement.

                            • Create a new topic while "scooping"

                              When adding to a topic I only see the option to add to an already created topic. I don't want to have to constantly create topics separately while curating. There should be an option to choose a topic from the list or create one on the spot. Pinterest offers this.

                              • 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.

                                • Allow for blockage of scoop.it users posting SPAM with links.

                                  Spam comments are becoming huge issue. Scoop.it members are commenting on posts made that are nothing more then spam with links. There needs to be a way to block these abusers from continuing this practice

                                  • "Clear Page" to clear all suggestions

                                    IO often have more than 100 suggested content (and don't know how much)
                                    After few days in vacations, it is just unmanageable and I just would rather clear them all.
                                    It seems "clear page" only clears a dozen. Why not give option to clear all?

                                    • multiple tags when sorting and posting to multiple categories at the same time

                                      collecting large amounts of information is only useful if you can retrieve it easily.

                                      THe inability to do multiple tagging to enable you to get to the relavent post quicker is the biggest shortcoming of scoop to me.

                                      Tag management and posting to multiple topics at the same time would make scoop a fantastic save and retrieve option for large amounts of tags
