RSS Feed Search

Title:
RSS Feed Search

Area:
Feeds

Summary:
It'd be awful nice to have a way to _search_ for a feed, instead of scanning through the list (http://www.dreamwidth.org/syn/list.bml).

Description:
I know you can sort the feed by feed title, and that _does_ help, but there are still some that aren't named what you might expect, and it's a lot to slog through. A simple search box (okay, it might not be simple, I'm no programmer) would make finding feeds a lot easier.

Increase number of notifications allowed for premium paid accounts

[cesy]

Title:
Increase number of notifications allowed for premium paid accounts

Area:
notifications, paid accounts

Summary:
Increase the limit of notification subscriptions for Premium Paid accounts.

Description:
The limit for premium paid accounts is currently 1000 active subscriptions. I keep hitting this, and struggling to clear them out, when I would like to know if someone goes back to an old discussion and comments on it, so want to keep those subscriptions. I know it puts strain on the server, but would it be manageable to increase it to 1500 or 2000 for Premium Paid accounts?

Allow members to subscribe to all comments in a community

[cesy]

Title:
Allow members to subscribe to all comments in a community

Area:
notifications, communities

Summary:
Allow members of a community to track all comments in that community, as admins currently can, provided the community or user is a paid account.

Description:
The feature to allow a moderator to subscribe to all comments in a community, regardless of which entry they're on, is really useful.

Could we extend this to community members as well as moderators, provided either the user or the community is paid? There shouldn't be any privacy concerns, as it's already possible to do this by tracking every entry, so it's just a question of server load.

When posting by email, "-- " should be recognised as a signature seperator.

[swaldman]

Title:
When posting by email, "-- " should be recognised as a signature seperator.

Area:
email posting

Summary:
When posting by email, Dreamwidth automatically strips signatures after a standard "-- " separator. Make it also recognise "-- " as being the same thing.

Description:
The email client on my new phone apparently thinks that all email signatures should be in HTML, with   every time a space is typed. Therefore, the best signature separator that I can produce is "-- ". This is almost certainly wrong in terms of standards, but I imagine that supporting it in DW would be trivial, and I can't think of any cases where it would cause problems.

Feed Comment Exporter

[jjhunter]

Title:
Feed Comment Exporter

Area:
Feeds

Summary:
Ability to export one's comment on a feed directly to the original without leaving DW. Co-develop with 'Feed Ghost Comments'?

Description:
One drawback to using feeds on DW to track posters on sites such as LiveJournal is the activation energy required to go comment on the original post. An option to export (not cross-post) one's comment on the DW feed to the original would increase the overall response rate to that original post.

Possible complications: if it isn't possible to view the comments on the original post through the DW feed, this would give a negative incentive to disregard the /comment/ context into which one is commenting. See suggestion 'Feed Ghost Comments' for possible fix.

Tools in the same family: x-posting (could use variant to export comment & 'post' it under one's username on that other site); comment importing when moving journals.

Feed Ghost Comments

[jjhunter]

Title:
Feed Ghost Comments

Area:
Feeds

Summary:
Ability to read grayed out/'ghosted' comments from original post via corresponding DW feed post.

Description:
One drawback to using feeds on DW to track posters on other sites is the additional energy barrier to reading the whole conversation, i.e. the comments. If 'ghosts' of public comments on the original post could be imported to the corresponding DW feed, one would be much more likely to participate in the conversation, i.e. go post a comment at the original.

By comment 'ghosts,' I mean comments visually/audibly presented as non-interactive and non-native to DW. Visually, this could be indicated by faded, greyscale reproductions of the original comments, moving icons/in-text graphics 'frozen,' etc.

Possible complications: Ethics/privacy issues would probably require permission from original poster. Perhaps link an automatic permission request to creation of DW feed?

Tools in the same family: comment importing (e.g. when importing journals), accepting x-posts from other sites

A parallel possibility: set up a comment counter for each feed post that counts the comments on the original post. This at least raises awareness about conversations one might be missing.
