Improving RubyFlow: What Features Do You Want?

by Peter Cooper —

Hi folks, we’re going to spend some time soon to improve RubyFlow and have noticed a few common feature requests. The most popular is probably adding a “report” or flagging button so we can take down spam/junk links - so we’ll be getting that rolled out. But what else would you be keen to see?

We have lots of ideas but don’t want to influence your opinions too much up-front, so just let loose with whatever you’re thinking or feeling and we’ll take it all on-board.

A search bar would be awesome, at this time it’s hard to find old posts :) BTW, thanks for your awesome website!

+1 for search.

Also, I would a feature to vote up/down posts. That would probably be disasterous for the posters who only posts readmes from Github and does not really understand what a gem does.

Johan André —

+1 for search too. Some kind of categories would be nice too. Also, link preview for blog posts and videos.

So good to see RubyFlow improving and moving forward!

Tags!

Sophie Déziel —

+1 for both up/down votes and tags. Also, being able to see highly voted posts according to tags.

  • Voting (might be actually just vote-up) and searching.
  • Making it open-source so anyone can contribute?
m.b. —

+2 for search, previews, tags +1 votes

Lukasz Gromanowski —

Search function is the best one

ducdiepco —

+1 search

Erich Kaderka —

+1 make it open source so anyone can contribute

daniely —

+1 search and votes

Jonas Lin —

I think it’s already open-source…: https://github.com/peterc/flow2

Search sounds good & maybe the ability to reload your avatar / name from github :)

Sort comments by upvotes. So you don’t need 20 comments saying “+1 Search and Votes”

  1. Edit/Delete comments; 2. Search (NOTE: “rubyflow TERM” works like a charm in each search engine); 3. Recommend article (or up/down voting); 4. “Add to Favorite articles list “ functionality; 5. “Add to Read later list” functionality; 6. Duplicate/Invalid links check when posting (a tough one). I don’t think categories and tags will work (sometimes contributors are lazy enough to add a short description).

Button to pull updated profile photos from Github. Thanks again for the awesome platform, been using it for Ruby info for years now!

Nathaniel Rowe —

I’d like the report/flag feature to be available for comments as well.

I’d like to see Stack Overflow Q&A, for fluffier topics. E.g. what Ruby framework are you using for xyz these days?
