What would be the number one thing you would change about Pjuu and why? (excluding federation, we are still discussing the subject)

    Well, being mostly a mobile user, I would say things like external notifications or a dark theme.
    If I were to forget those, maybe something to discover new users, or hashtags, because it is quite hard to see what content is available.
    However those are mostly details.

    The notifications thing is a great idea. I will have a look at a way to check the alerts from webview and set a notification (you use Android or iOS?)

    I've already put in my vote for a dark theme.

    Maybe background-pictures a user can set for his page and timeline? Would be a point to fetch some of the old twitter-guys who didn't like that Twitter put that option mostly out....
    Well, header picture of the profile isn't a must have but would push the customisability a bit more...
    and not only dark themes, but more themes to exchange that green/yellow-mix. I do like it, but I guess some others doesn't...

    @pietlu i see what your saying
    Not sure how easy/difficult it would be to impliment a theming system though.

    whats the reasoning behind the dark theme any how? ...guessing it would be easier on the eye ?

    yep, white text on black background is way more easier on the eye... my eyes often starts to hurt when i look to long on a white screen

    Well, for me it's just that I can't stand for too long at a bright screen, especially a phone. It is also used while using phone before sleeping, usually. There's nothing essential, and if there is an "invert color" function on android, that would be enough for me. But as I said, nothing essential, only suggestions.

    Thinking about a little something too. When you go to the notification page (on the website, not talking about android's notifications), if I'm not mistaken, it marks them as read. It could be cool to do that only to the ones actually read.
    And if it is already the case, well, I guess it was a bug :D

    In general, I'd love to see a more polished and sleek user interface, especially for the mobile app.

    @Stolensoul yeah we're aware of that. @joe has put it in under issue 67 :https://github.com/pjuu/pjuu/issues/67

    @Epowerj The site design has been mentioned by a couple of users here and there. It kind of falls in to a number of issues already open on github ( 56 + 247 for example )
    We're open to suggestions for what to change in terms of layout and colours etc. If you've got time to play we'd certainly welcome a pull request/mock ups from you !

    I'd be willing to test things, I just don't know how to.

    I would enjoy being able to see avatars up close, sometimes the pictures seem interesting but are too small to get a clear look. The only other thing would be to make it easier to find people to follow who share your interests but I am not sure how this could be accomplished. I am enjoying the site so far. Interaction on the first day of joining elsewhere has been rare. Users also talk about many subjects and share a variety of pictures, which is not always the case on other social media.

    @Znara I thought about the "finding people" thing too, and was thinking that a simple way to do that (well, at least I think it would be simpler than other methods) would be to allow the use of #hashtags inside profiles, and maybe allow filtering search results by posts or users. Just an idea, though.

    If you do create a dark theme, make it optional. They make the screen more difficult to read

    The plan for recommendations is to look at the following list and find followers 1 hop away. Count how many times people occur and that will be the list. Were trying to find the simplest, fastest way to do this and I think were almost there. We don't want to go to deep though. It will be never as good as FB or Twitter because we don't want to analyse users.

    I already got top two things I asked for (public posts & newline character).

    But I am greedy.
    Can I get url for each comment and a list of most searched hashtags in last 24 hours/last week/ last month/ all time? You can place it right under the input bar on search display.

    @mukt we could do a trending type thing where it shows the most used hashtags I guess under the search bar. That is also where I'm going to put the follow suggestions :)

    The comment links is a good idea. It will not just take you to the parent post and then find the comment page and highlight the comment. I've been meaning to do that for a very long time but I always forget.
