The Road Map (or Things To Come)
This is a list of things that I am planning to get to as I can and where I see this site heading in the immediate future.
Overall Site:
- The biggest thing is to improve on the interface and design of the site. I’m no designer, so I’m relying heavily on friends to help me make the structure and usability of the site better.
- Not crazy about the colors. They work for now though.
- Improve the Dashboard blank state. Provide better instructions about what to do when you’ve never used the site before.
Posts:
- Favoriting of posts. Similar to gmail’s star system, this would be a way to keep track of special posts so that they don’t get lost.
- Give posts their own page so that they can be linked to directly.
- Ability to comment on posts.
- Permissions for posts. The ability to set posts as public, private or only viewable by your contacts.
- A way to organize and sort posts. Either folders, groups or tags.
- Ability to send a single post to multiple contacts.
- Search posts.
Contacts:
- Fix the issue with association of contacts to allow members to store information about contacts that isn’t directly stored on contact’s user record.
- Easier ways to add contacts. Things like importing from Gmail or Yahoo Mail.
- User profiles. A profile for members so that others can see the items they want to share and keep track of. This could be completely public, completely private or only viewable by friends/contacts.
- Order contact search results by most frequently sent to.
- Grouping of contacts.
- Search contacts.
If you’d like to make any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let me know (zack@checkthislater.com).
