  4 0 Holy shit. I will never be productive again. Things that would make it ultra-rad: - Making sure you keep the 'add images etc' thing available. I'm sure I don't need to remind you how many questions on here seem to take the form on "Hey what the fuck is with those ________ I keep seeing in/on ______ ". Weird signs? Balloons? Snap a photo with your smartphone and post it here. Done. - Make it free. - Also, being able to toggle your push notifications is always nice.   NGC1275 answered in Science & Technology about 1 year ago | Report 3 comments by NGC1275, Vanessa N, and Marty Unger… 0 0 Did I mention that it should be free? NGC1275 commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 So exciting. I don't have anything to add at the moment but a mobile Questionland would be amazing. Vanessa N commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Yes. It will indeed be free. We may not be able to release the picture posting immediately but will try to get it out as soon as possible. I agree that it's the killer feature.

  3 0 Oh, good, Android support was at the top of my list. (Also, cough, cough, the Windows 7 phone people are calling for apps.) My thought for features: Would it be possible to sort the questions with a more meaningful filter? Instead of time-stamping them, filter them (within a certain date range) by relevance within the community. Those that get more reads or more responses filter up. (And possibly also those that don't have many answers but are posted by reputable people. A second vote for "add images" but updated image handling across the site would be nice, too. Next time I'm stumped with a tree (heh), I'd like to post the pic directly. As it is now, I have to link to an existing posted picture on some other website. MyrnaMinkoff answered in Science & Technology about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Marty Unger… 0 0 Great idea on the question sorting Myrna. Come to think of it, that should be our "Greatest" sort on the site too. Thanks so much for your feedback. Regarding the pic posting, we're working on better ways to post pics on the site (flickr, facebook) so if nothing else will have some better options in the mobile app as well.

  2 0 The basics: 1) Ask, answer, comment, vote on all, and award mushroom 2) Preview questions, answers, and comments 3) Add an image to an answer. Uploading from camera to multiple services and auto-linking would be nice, but being able to link to an image already hosted somewhere is essential. 4) Question, answer, and contributor search 5) All of the question and answer filters from the website 6) Notification dashboard and push notifications when your question is answered, answer is commented on, etc (anything that would generate an email) 7) Landscape keyboard (very important!) New mobile-oriented features: 1) Mark questions/answers as read on both the mobile version and website. I would treat the mobile version more like an RSS feed, so it would be nice to see new or unread items at a glance. Logging the last time I opened a question/answer page and using that to mark "new" items would be a good compromise. 2) Add bookmarks to both the mobile version and website. This would be for a question I want to answer or an answer I want to comment on, but I don't want to type on the tiny iPhone keyboard or I just can't do it at the moment. This would be a useful feature even for someone that only uses the website. 3) Geo-tag a question or answer using the current GPS location Jon answered in Science & Technology about 1 year ago | Report 3 comments by Marty Unger, Jon, and Marty Unger… 0 0 Nice list of basics. We'll cover most of these in the first version and may have to follow on with picture stuff and push notifications soon after. I love the bookmarking idea as a way to save posts for future attention. Why the geo-coding? How would that be useful to you? Marty Unger commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 It wouldn't be mobile-specific, actually. If we could add an address to a question ("what is moving into this storefront?") or answer ("my favorite shoe repair is XYZ"), that would let you do map thumbnails/links on the question and answer pages. The mobile app would just have the ability to tag the current location. It's useful on its own but it's really killer if we can attach photos. Consider this question: http://questionland.com/questions/11803-is-this-graffiti-obscene You could be walking down the street, spot this graffiti, take a picture, open the QL app and write the question, upload and attach the photo, and tag to your current location. People could map exactly where you were at, and maybe check it out for themselves. You could do other things with the location data, like filter questions or answers "near me" or let us give our address and give us proximity alerts when someone asks a question nearby. Jon commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 makes total sense Jon. It would be awesome to be able to go see that piece of graffiti like in the question above.

  2 0 Considering that since it is a mobile version, the approach should be slightly different from the web version: - Dashboard centered. The main screen should have a summary of your stuff e.g. your questions, your answers, notifications, etc. - When you're on the question browsing view, the capacity to toggle between the most relevant questions and all of them should exist. - maybe a 'favorite categories' preset view could be useful so you don't have to see all of them on your phone. - an refresh rate setting so you don't suck up bandwidth you don't need to. - clean UI over flashy stuff. always. - free, of course hmmm... plus all the 'by default' UX stuff that normally make apps not suck. oh_man answered in Science & Technology about 1 year ago | Report 2 comments by NGC1275 and Marty Unger… 0 0 +1 on the clean UI bit NGC1275 commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Great suggestions.

  1 0 I echo the Android platform, because I won't believe it until I see it. The Cocktail Compass and Savage Love apps are continuing to promise Android apps, but I think they're just trying to appease us.

  0 0 I'd love to see this, too. I don't have any unique requests, I'll just reiterate the ones I have read below: make it simple, make it customizable, and while free is neat, i understand you need to pay for your time, so i'm willing to shell out a buck or two for it. i think that will go a long way to filter out the (cheap-ass) trolls! it's not a right to be able to rant on Qland, so by all means, charge for admission! i think being able to filter out unwanted/unread categories will be helpful, too. inquisitive206 answered in Science & Technology about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Marty Unger… 0 0 Our initial thought was to, of course, make it free but you bring up a very good point about a little monetary barrier keeping out the trolls. Will definitely take that under consideration. Thanks so much for the feedback.
