The Coder I/O To Do List

Since coder.io had its soft-ultra beta-"not telling many people yet" type launch less than a month ago, 403 users have somehow discovered the site and decided to sign up - thanks!

The user numbers will explode soon because I have a mailing list of 1700 interested developers I still haven't mailed yet. Oops.

It's of importance I keep pushing forward with new developments each and every week, so here's a public To Do list to show you what I'm working on and to act as a form of social pressure. Feel free to post a comment with ideas of your own.

  • Write a series of blog posts about "how coder.io works" covering how content is found, how the system is structured, what technologies it uses, etc.
  • Starring and saving of items - for personal recollection (this is a biggie..)
  • API documentation
  • OpenID support for logins and signups
  • Twitter OAuth support for logins and signups
  • Add UI for people to submit "leads" to the coder.io system/add items
  • Add UI for people to submit sources coder.io should crawl
  • Multiviews - view types that can be chosen by users/readers at will (e.g. list, "newspaper style", links only)
  • "Official" links against tags so that key resources can be prominently featured
  • Avatars and metadata for tags (such as descriptions - helps people choose tags better)
  • Advanced query/subscription builder
  • Stack Overflow integration
  • GitHub integration
  • Notices/news box so key improvements can be easier seen
  • Remove the box nagging people to leave a message
  • E-mail subscription support - so you can have a weekly/monthly/whatever e-mail with content from your subscriptions
  • Image extraction from pages - to show relevant pics on items instead of just avatars Canceling this idea, it's frivolous and not necessary for the sort of content coder.io covers.
  • Add many more sources (a permanent item)
  • Add more tags and refine those existing (a permanent item)
  • I will extend this list over time..
