I suggest you ...

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.

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

    1. Create a developer API

      Allowing the fetching of user/post data via a REST API.

      JSON is a must.

          • Follow tags

            I'd love to be able to follow content streams by tag -- posts tagged "php", for example. Things I'm interested in, or "expert" in, so I can offer tips.

            • section to find devs/designers willing to trade work for work

              You see a lot of designers in need of development work, and vice versa. Maybe have a profile option of "Available for [x dev] [x design] work" and a search page to look for people available for different types of work/trade work.

              • Find friends from contact lists

                It would be helpful to be able to search from address books (like Gmail) to see if anyone you know is already on forrst.

                • Create a mentor program

                  Designers and Developers could be paired by taking a short quiz and enter a mentor program with another designer/developer of greater skill. A user would be able to set a limit on the amount of people they'd like to mentor or choose not to mentor anyone. As a mentor, you would be willing to critique and help another designer/developer improve their skills.
                  The mentor would also be allowed to upload video/docs/ & other media, that only his/her mentor could see. You could also have options to buy the mentor a coffee, cool, gifts or points based on your experience through… more

                    It would be nice to see a users recent posts below their information box on profile pages.

                    • give us badges. We want our stinkin' badges!

                      :) Mostly kidding, but it is nice to be recognized for good deeds.

                      • Create a grid mode as an alternative to the default list of snaps, links, etc.

                        It'd be really great to be able to view people's snaps, links, etc. in a grid view!

                          Get everyone to see your "post page". Would love to have that function so I and all developers on forrst can share our posts with the world. I was trying to link to my post page on forrst through my portfolio site and this thought came up.
                          Thanks

                          • Add a "Project" feature to group code/snaps/links under one project title

                            What I want added to Forrst the most is the ability to categorize my posts into "projects". I want a little button that says "View more posts in this project" on every post that is categorized. (Keep reading, these aren't tags).

                            Let's say I'm working on a site, we'll call it "Site X".
                            I'm using Forrst to get feedback from people who are both designers AND coders. People who have the skill and knowledge to give me feedback on most of the aspects of my site.

                            I now have these options:
                            * Posting a code snippet from Site X and… more

                              • Desktop/mobile app to receive notifications of new posts and comments

                                This will be a way to keep users engaged, because they won't have to check if anyone posted something new. My suggestion can be seen as a request for a Forrst client, much like any Twitter client.

                                • Videos for motion designers

                                  It would be really cool if there was a feature like 'snap' but for videos.

                                  It could be used for tutorials, and to show off motion video or website interface designs.

                                  • Register the IRC channel #forrst on Freenode.net

                                    I sit in there and over time I've seen 3 people join chat for a bit and leave. If it was registered they would stick around.

                                    Freenode.net changed their policy for registering channel back on June 16th so read through this:

                                      Currently everything is transferred using a non-SSL encrypted connection. It would be very cool if either the signup or the entire website would be encrypted using SSL

                                        Getting from Forrst to Uservoice to report a bug is more or less OK, because it's typically a one-way communication. Report and forget.

                                        However I am REALLY hesitant to use UserVoice to suggest features and improvements (and being an experienced user interface designer I believe I have a thing or two to offer). What I would much rather prefer is to have a section (or even just a dedicated post) on Forrst to make suggestions, and then to be able to follow it, to like comments made by others, etc.

                                        To elaborate why UserVoice is not working for me -… more

                                        • Reply to comments (nested comments)

                                          Being able to hit a 'reply' on a comment to reply on that comment only. Maybe with a limit on the level of nesting (ie you can only reply on a comment but not on a comment's comment). This should generate more discussions. Also, maybe an ability for the author of the comment that's being discussed to move it to a new thread and turn the comment into post, and its comments as level 1 comments, so that it can be better discussed.

                                          • Badges/forrst user widget

                                            It would be cool to eventually have some javascript code we could embed on outsides sites that displays our badges and/or some of our basic forrst user info. I'm sure users would love to show off their connection with forrst on personal sites.
