    Categories [COMPLETED]

    Would be great to have categories option for submissions. Makes it easier to organize and filter, especially when there are lots of entries.

    Traffic stats

    It would be great to be able to add a bit of code from google analytics so I could measure the traffic to my site.

    Branding at sign-up

    When a user visits the site they now see my branding. When they want to sign up they get told they are signing up to a 'slinkset' account. This creates some confusion at a key point. I would be willing to pay a small amount to have my own branding throughout the site (ie no slinkset branding at all).

    Externally embedded up/down vote button

    Like the digg this button that site/blog owners can embed, but the superior reddit up/down arrow version. I once saw Aaron Swartz comment on these saying that they were next to useless for the site owner, but gave reddit a lot of free publicitly.

    Tagging

    A long term challenge, maybe... it's the one thing reddit never got

    Sharing Slinkset designs

    Community to share custom slinkset designs.

    Slinkset offers the ability to customize the look & feel of sites using various customizations via:
    1. Settings > advanced > sidebar html
    2. Design > Expert (CSS)

    This feature request is to have a forum/community where such designs/expert css can be shared, thereby leading to even better looking slinksets for everyone.

    This feature request came about from a post on the help forum: http://help.slinkset.com/links/featured_site_designs

    It would be really good to have a leader board for contributers.
    Basically the more like HN the better!

    Profiles

    An "about me" box, a URL, and an email address that can be publicly viewable or not, based on a checkbox. If the email address is publicly viewable, anti-spam it by making it an image or any other way.

    Widget

    This is quite a personalized one. I have a Ning community I administer and there's no good way to share community news. I'd love to have a large (fully functional - not just rss) widget for my slinkset site that I could fit on to my front page of my ning site.

    OpenID or Authentication API?

    I hate to make my users create new accounts yet again. This seems tailor-made to use OpenID.

    Tagging a Submission & Tag Cloud

    The ability to tag an URL submission and a Tag cloud for the site would be a very useful feature.

    Use case would be "Tag articles about competitors as 'competitor'; or 'features'"

    Reddit-style "comment reply" indicator

    When someone replies to a comment you've made on Reddit, your little mailbox icon turns red, and when you click on it you can see the reply.

    This is a great way for discussions to continue, because you don't have to actually go back and check to see if there were replies.

    (I thought you guys might have this feature, since your admins are so good about replying to comments I leave, no matter how deep in the thread!)

    External voting/status button (Would help Slinkset grow, grow, grow)

    You guys should make a .js button that a slinkset publisher could offer bloggers who cover whatever his slinkset is about. The bloggers could add this code to their templates and would get a submission button for the slinkset that then becomes a voting button. If you offer 4-5 formats for the buttons, like how reddit does it, you'd see a lot more people linking back to slinkset sites. Growth, growth, growth.

    Slinkset as a blogging platform

    This is not really a feature request. More an idea. I think with very few modifications, slinkset could be a very interesting blogging platform that does the job a lot better for some blogs.
    I'm sure many Slinksets already are more geared towards blogging then link sharing.
    - Some blogs use a 'most popular' list of some kind. Slinkset might take care of that in a superior fashion.
    - Some blogs are really about the comments. Slinkset might take care of that in a superior fashion.
    - Some blogs produce too many posts to just go in & read all the new ones once a day/week.

    Maybe this could be done by just moving around a few exiting features ('recent' as the default page, the widget in the panel, etc.)

    Just a thought.

    No Follow Links? (www.dietobserver.com)

    Is there a way (am I missing it?) to turn off the No Follow on all of the links?

    Admin created Static Pages like "About" or "Contact"

    Maybe with the links placed in the footer or other spots.

    Customizable sorting algorithms and pagination?

    I wouldn't even put this as a high priority myself, but it would allow for some interesting possibilties.

    For example, I was having a conversation with some people at my employer about the possibility of using slinkset as a way to set up a voting/nomination process for an awards program my company puts on. I realized the only way I could truly make it work would be if i could eliminate the age of post as a factor in the sort algorithm, and also control pagination (so i could get all of the nominees on the same screen).

    Anyhow, just an idea which may be of use some day.
