To-do's

Software feature requests:

Remove spaces before & after of the search input (a.k.a. trim).
Implement DHT (Distributed hash table), to search users in a decentralised system.
Improve common search (boolean expression searches).
Improve admin user search by adding wildcards in query, so you do not need to enter the exact full name.
Switch language based on IP-address (if not yet already implemented correctly…)
Create a new Android app (the current Android app is 2 years old, never updated since)
Uploading video’s in a decebtralised way, see: MediaGoblin.
Make it possible to create ‘pages’ (like Google+/Facebook) for a company, organisation, product, community, …
Make it possible to add a group discussion (several people) instead of only private conversation

GUI changes:

Add more color to the header & website, less gloomy
Add more icons to menu-items (like, Stream Icon, Activities Icon, Like Icon) and such. This makes it more accessible, to find recognize the feature and adds more color.
Improve stream page on mobile (currently blank page). Atleast add an one-liner like “Currently no messages” and a direct link to the publisher. Always better than an empty page.
Add wysiwyg editor for markdown
Create a beautiful and user friendly welcome page (both mobile & desktop): a _show.html.haml.example which can be re-named.
Order stream post by date, importants, publicity, …
Replace captcha code by a better alternative.
