Spaces instead of "course or thread or document"
If a "space" was created that INCLUDED threads, course content, documents - it would reflect better how people see & consume content.
For example, I may have a group that has a few course modules, some important doc templates & a discussion thread - but I don't want them to have to go to the course first, then the docs then the group discussion to get the full experience for that "space".
Consider spaces like themes, where the features within (events + courses + docs, etc) can be turned on/off per SPACE rather than segmenting the community content into "media silos"
(PS real talk this is an upcoming Mighty Networks feature that I think will start to see traction in many "forum style" tools - I'd love to see it happen here. My biggest complaint about Heartbeat is that the content structure doesn't reflect the mental model of how members look for & consume content.)

I agree, I like how mighty networks has channels WITHIN spaces.
Having channel tabs (chat, feed, events, members etc.) arranged within the space at the top, feels more intuitive to me than the Discord-style model of listing channels in category buckets on the left sidebar.
It also would provide a more expansive third organizational layer. Instead of just [categories ➜ channels] there would be [categories ➜ spaces ➜ channels]. Would be a cool option to have.
