7 sats \ 8 boost \ 3 replies \ @nout 5 Aug 2021 \ on: What SN features do you guys want?! meta
I would say don't go crazy on adding features - that can often hurt the product more than help. Consider each feature request thoroughly.
The current feature set works quite well, but there are mostly small bugs that would be good to fix and add couple small improvements. Also not sure what is the story to make Stacker News sustainable against spam and company advertisement.
Good point. Refinement over additions.
What small bugs are you referring to? I'm probably not aware of all of them.
I'm not sure what the spam story is either yet. There's some hope the sat hurdle will prevent it some. We haven't had much of it yet fortunately.

- when you click on specific comment link, there's no button to see all comments under the post or a button to see all parent comments
- when you are signed out, click on "post", click on "post" again, it keeps duplicating callbacks in the URL (this is small nit)
- the sats amounts for gained sats and total sats are shown as [123,345], but comma is used as a decimal or thousands separator in different locales, which makes this confusing. Also putting "title" property on those elements with some description would help. Other things, like "boost" could use title property too.
- when I get notification that I stacked some sats, I would like to know where. There is no way to tell currently.
- You should be able to click on the red notifications icon and go directly into notifications (not through the dropdown menu)
- "withdrawl"

All good suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to write them out!
