NOTE: Many of these ideas may never be implemented - this page is not a roadmap of any kind, but a random collection of ideas I happen to have thought of. To get a sense of what will be worked on next (for some arbitrary definition of "next"), see the "Up next" project board. To suggest a new feature/improvement, you can file a new issue.
Note to self: glance through Ghost's community wishlist from time to time for more ideas.
- #151: Word / character count at the bottom of the post editor
- Related: reading time estimate
- Share published post link on social media (7bbffd1)
- Scroll to top
- Auto-save visual indicator
- Notify user when their blog is down?
- Markdown help (like Ghost web)
- #144: Conflict resolution / notification
- ⭐ #148: Multiple accounts (should be
simplepossible to do by having a separate Realm file for each login) - ⭐ #137: Schedule posts for publishing
- Insert image in post editor by sharing from another app
- ⭐ #153 Create new posts by sharing from other apps (e.g., write posts in Evernote and export/share to Quill)
- PIN lock
- Give tips in the app, ask for feedback / ratings, etc. (implementation of swipe-to-dismiss with
RecyclerView
: https://medium.com/@ipaulpro/drag-and-swipe-with-recyclerview-b9456d2b1aaf) -
#128: Optimize post editor for tablets and landscape mode (something like this or this for post preview / editor side-by-side)(user feedback says that the current UX works pretty well!) - Customizable themes / curated selection of themes (https://github.com/negusoft/GreenMatter, http://www.hidroh.com/2015/02/16/support-multiple-themes-android-app/) -- a night mode would be great for writing in the dark
- Option to automatically add a specified set of tags on posts created (or published?) from mobile, e.g., published-from-mobile, quill, etc => this might also provide an alternate channel for public analytics
- ⭐ Integrate with Disqus to view, reply to, and maybe even moderate comments
- Integrate analytics in the app (Google Analytics etc) - to start off a simple graph with daily visitors to the entire blog over the last month would be good
-
Chat heads! Write while you research!(kinda obviated by multi-window mode in Android N) - Post templates (is this worth it?)
- Backups on edit / sync
- Similar planned feature in Ghost: https://trello.com/c/1wAHv8jZ/34-post-revisions and screenshot in https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/5273
- If implementing from scratch, persistent data structures might help (actually, persistent
Post
objects, modifiable with aBuilder
-like pattern maybe?)
- Auto-backup blog to Dropbox, etc? (including images)
- See diffs while editing, to verify changes before publishing
- Connect to Google Analytics and maybe deliver on Ghost's long-overdue dashboard ;)
