Alright, it's on our Todo list. I'll show you where the relevant code is if you're so inclined.

That'd be great; I can't actually find it right now (assuming it's Python).

Hey nice coding wizzwizz, solid job! Very much appreciate the added functionality, and I'm sure the users will too. Thank you. We're proud to have more code contributions to the site by users like you.

Adding your wishlist to GitHub Issues, and maybe setting up a Project Board or two would help to permit contributions.

We have a huge to-do list we've been working off of for over a year, but it's visible to the admins only. The problem with putting all our bugs on display is that it might open us up to attacks and give trolls ammo to mess with the site.

Post the small bugs and the feature-requests; they'll be done in no time.

That's not a bad idea. We might start doing this. I'll have to look through the to-do list though and see what's left.

Tbh we've already solved most of the small bugs. Feature requests would definitely be a good idea though, no security risk there.

Here's 3 features we're going to work on very soon, if you (or anyone else wants to help)

  1. The "unsubscribe to all subs" button that is currently in user preferences, also put that on the user sub management page

  2. The algorithm for limiting how frequently new users can post and comment is too strict and we want to loosen it slightly by allowing for several more posts to be made before the "You are doing this too much, wait 9 mins" dialog comes up.

  3. NSFW posts do not appear in the listings for users not logged in. We want to change it so they do appear for everyone (but the thumbnail will still be fuzzed out)

Those 3 are basically my little projects for the next few days, but if you or anyone wants to take a stab at them, by all means...

I might make this a more official announcement for everyone to see. This is a pretty good idea. Thanks!

For 3, by "in listings" I assume you aren't counting /s/all. Although I'm struggling to see what the NSFW tag would be used for in the first place, if not porn. (On second thoughts, I don't think I want to know.)

Those feature requests seem adequately possible-but-non-trivial to outsource. I might have a stab at 2, if I find the time.

Use for gore, like the shooting video that was here yesterday. I want the listing to show up on /r/all, yes.

Those feature requests seem adequately possible-but-non-trivial to outsource.

Yeah that's basically how I feel about them which is why I haven't really been trying to put these features out there because I'm not sure anyone will take the time because it's really not too easy.

If you happen to make any progress, let me know!

I don't know if this would be an acceptable alternative to 3…
