SaidIt Survey : Would you like important SaidIt info in a prominent position? (Like the light grey field in this /s/SaidItSurvey sidebox, perhaps smaller.) magnora7 and d3rr curated, it would link to the latest SaidIt news, warnings, must-see recommendations, code bounties, the wiki-FAQ, and donate.

I've played with this idea before.. I think it comes down to whether or not there's enough meaningful content to put in it. I'll try to dig up my screenshot.

Anyway for the content:

  • The all music multisub link
  • SaidIt post of the week
  • ?

(If you didn't notice the footer wiki link is now "wiki & faq")

I noticed. I asked M7 to add the FAQ. I don't know if anyone notices the footer. While I obviously like wikis, I don't mind being the main one working on them, but it feels a little weird. I'm not hogging the stage if there's no one in the theatre. I'd be happier to share the stage or get off it and watch sometimes. I've been frustrated with the wiki limits and my projects but I'm making it work and am happy it's here. I don't need my wikis to be prominent and noticed. My main concern is to bring forward the FAQ for folks, as well as remind them of a fantastic underutilized feature. The same goes for the "donate" link. I really really think you should add that (then make code bounties).

My light-grey box may be too tall (I intentionally made it big to grab your attention). If you look at the SaidIt Surveys sidebox with 6 bullet points - I was thinking like that height or less, and that size font. With a table you could have even more links if you want.

Post of the week is good. Maybe you guys want to draw our attention to your fave conversations, etc. I'd thought of that myself but didn't want to impose more work for you guys.

Music and other stuff is good. I hadn't thought of making a "Best Of SaidIt" list or directory thing but that'd be neat - and might be better to whip it up on a full page wiki, rather than just a little box. (It's almost starting to sound like compiling articles for a newspaper or, dare I say, /s/SaidItWeekly or /s/SaidItMonthly and it's animated series!)

I still haven't finished categorizing all the subs in /s/SaidIt/wiki/multisubs . It will still be a while. I'm chipping away at it a bit at a time. Sometimes it's painfully tedious manual shit, sometimes it's good mindless work while listening to other newsy stuff, working out my OCD tendencies.

Maybe I'm delusional but I believe the multisubs/categorization thing will eventually be a tremendous asset to SaidIt, one way or another. Whether they do or not, I can only hope others might actually utilize it somehow. I'm hoping it might also be a step up over Reddit. Unless they already do that or have metatags.
