Feature Requests

We're losing new members in the onboarding process, and it's a huge problem. People are dropping off after entering their email, even with all the instructions and follow-up emails (AND abandoned link workflow active). The current multi-step process is too cumbersome. We need a simple, single-step solution. Can we change the flow so a new member only needs to enter their email to join? All other profile information, including the onboarding questions, can be requested later via an email invitation. This will drastically reduce friction and get more people into the community.

I would like to see non-competitive forms of gamification. In other words, gamification that encourages an individual to keep participating and progressing, but not as compared to others. Points that can be traded in for rewards, stars or other visual ability to see your progress, being able to "level up" based on participation or course completion, bingo boards, etc.

If text is uneditable, we'd like to be able to automatically have that text translated into the community / local language (ex: German, Spanish, French, etc.)

I get quite a few complaints from people who get an email saying that there is an unread "message" on my community when I have used the @ function of their group on a post. They click through and there obviously there is no "message" which they understandably thought would be a DM.

It would be useful to display active contributors or collaborator based on their level of activity inspiring others to engage more.

Similar to the Bible app or Snapchat, having daily streaks is an incentive for people to engage with the community daily. This could limit inactive users and even go a step further depending on what is required to continue to streak: i.e. logging in, posting, commenting, etc. Membership levels are another great incentive- less subtle as it's something other members should be able to see as an encouragement to 'level up'.

I've received member feedback that the grey color of sidebar links that are not selected looks more like a "dead link" than an unselected condition. Can we explore darkening the greyed-out color a bit, or making its hex code another customizable variable?

Had a new member point out that they were not able to view our Terms and Code until joining the community (I have it in Resources/Docs). Would be cool if we could make those docs public and link to them from a signup page or external web page.
