What features should we add?

Question

Can you think of a feature we should add? Can you think of a feature that can be improved?

Answer 1

Add an instant search-like widget that allows questions and answers to be linked to one or more entities from the Local DB.





Yes, I'm shamelessly promoting my own product and looking forward to Local integrating with Q&A.

Answer 2

As an alternative to the open/voting/resolved presentation, you might want to consider allowing users to customize the home page so that it shows only questions in a user's particular area of expertise (e.g., love and romance, sports, etc.), so that they can quickly contribute answers to the areas that they are most familiar with as soon as they log in.

Answer 3

Funny Brian, my idea is similar.





I was thinking of an instant search like thing on entry of the question. This would search for similar questions that have been already been asked, reduce duplicates, and get people to answers faster.

Answer 4

i'd love to see notification preferences - i.e. alert me via IM or mobile.





how about community feature like being able to create a group and make questions only available to be answered by that group?

Answer 5

Sections for most visited questions and most active users. Most visited questions shows the number of times viewed and the number of answers. Most active users shows the user and number of questions and answers.
