Introduction

For various reasons (and this list will be deleted at some point once OML is out of beta, or maybe not), a suggestions list for OML (some bugs too perhaps if I find some). I LOVE the site though.

 
 

Reorganize list categories

 
I know they are working on this per the blog, just wanted to throw it out there.
 
 

Make lists able to have more than 1 category

 
 
 

Public Lists

 
Maybe a public list thing of some sorts that everyone could add to. I can totally see how it would be unwieldy and stupid, but on the other hand it could be useful (like this list for instance)
 
 

Ability to edit comments

 
Even if it time limited so you can only edit them for 1 hour after you post it or whatever.
 
 

character limit

 
either a popup dialog when I hit the limit and try to submit or a character counter. I wasn't paying attention, wrote a long comment on another list and it was cut off.
 
 

RSS/subscription

 
Be able to subscribe to lists or at least comments. Or perhaps a Flickr-esque recent activity notificaton.

edit/addition: Nice on the subscriptions options and RSS. still want the recent activity notice (i like to know when ppl comment on my lists or lists i've commented on)
 
 

HTML

 
the ability to have some HTML for comments/list/item descriptions.
 
 

Done with List button access

 
Can there be some sort of floating done with list? Or a done with list button per item. So if I delete or edit one item, I don't have to scroll all the way down to be done with the list.

Re: Public Lists -- it might be easier to manage if each user had a 1 contribution allowance to another user's public/unfinished list.

Other suggestions:

Turn on HTML for list entry -- I want to add links to things and use simple formatting for bol

Strange, my comment went blank. Summing it up, allow HTML in list entries (for links, text formatting for bold, italics, paragraph breaks and so forth -- or at least read hard returns in text entry for readability), allow reordering of list items.

the first item (emailing list to have name of user instead of "your friend") was implemented yesterday... thanks!

I second the need to have list and comment text entry able to handle HTML (for links etc.) or at the very least be able to have hard returns so i can have paragraphs...

How about private lists?
Pedro_yosemite_thumb Pedroposted 488 days ago
yeah widgets and facebook app are on the todo list for sure...
417036735_de4314fa47_m aynposted 488 days ago
to Pedro: there are already private lists, when you create the lists just check the "private" checkbox.

When I click on someone's profile, it shows people that have subscribed to that person's lists. Is there a way that their names could link to their profiles?
Teresasmall_thumb thixotropiclifeposted 488 days ago
to thixotropiclife: yeah I noticed that yesterday myself, making them links to their profiles would make a lot of sense, will go do that... :) Thanks!

I've already mentioned one suggestion to Noah in e-mail, but I'll post it here for completeness:

"I'm a big keyboard shortcut guy. When I finish a list item, I tab twice and hit enter to add another, but then I have to back-tab four times to get back up to the "Enter List Item" box. Would it be possible to change the way that works such that the insertion point is automatically in that box after you add new?"

I'd also love to see a "Preview" button that gives you the option to see your list before making it public (I suppose one could post it privately, then make it public, but that's unwieldy). I'd even be so bold as to suggest making it the default. I've already "jumped the gun" on posting one list today because of a mistyped "Enter". :-(
