Would be nice if we could add some sort of badge system similar to ethresear.ch where the badges are signed by the server. (Which would allow to basically call them PODs).

HackMD markdown support
::
flowchart LR
    A((Start)) --> B[Step 1]
    B --> C[Step 2]
    C --> D((End))

digraph G {
    rankdir=LR;

    A [label="Start", shape=ellipse];
    B [label="Step 1", shape=box];
    C [label="Step 2", shape=box];
    D [label="End", shape=ellipse];

    A -> B;
    B -> C;
    C -> D;
}

  • Signed user interactions - posts/comments/emoji reactions/upvotes/etc
  • User badges like Carlos mentioned that are signed or expose a proof: verified email (at some domain), verified passport, verified NFT, etc
  • Gated inns/subreddits; gated posts (for example: only someone with a verified email at pse.dev or ethereum.org can respond)
  • Anonymous gated polls (everyone that can prove they are a current ethereum validator can respond)
  • If a user signs up with an email domain that hasnโ€™t been used previously, an inn/subreddit is created and gated for that email domain.

I have a bunch more but we will start there

  • integration with activity pub
  • definitely an edit button like @CPerezz (https://forum.pse.dev/user/22) mentioned
  • @ mentions / unique usernames (case-insensitive)
  • username in the URL path instead of the user number

integration with activity pub

This would be very cool. Brief research says maybe a bit complex to implement with some design decisions that would need to be made, but not insurmountable. This topic would be worth its own forum post if we want to explore options.

I would personally love an @Hodlon@pse.dev fediverse handle ๐Ÿค

Replace โ€œFreeditโ€ with โ€œPSE Forumโ€ or something more specific to this instance.

  • We need better markdown support for those ::Warning:: and ::danger:: labels from https://forum.pse.dev/post/1/12

  • Modify SignUp & Login pages so it allows password managers to pick the form and prompt the credential storage option or the auto-login one. From https://forum.pse.dev/post/1/11

  • Tags are very useful, but I need an easy way to discover and explore them. Right now I need to click on a post and find a tag to know it exists. https://forum.pse.dev/inn/tag/iO

  • Ability to pin posts by the Inn admin/moderator (i..e iโ€™d like to pin a post about features roadmap in the forum improvements Inn)

Various UX improvements:

  • links in posts open in the same tab
  • the terms and conditions link at sign up leads to a 404 page.
  • would be cool if there were some tag suggestions.
  • Do tags need to be โ€œseparated by #โ€ as the UI says or should they start with #?
  • If every post requires at least one tag, can the # be added automatically?

Bold text in LateX notation doesnโ€™t work. e.g. $\textbf{A}$ would be expected to render as a bold letter A. Instead it renders as A
