NETVIBES WIDGET.

Although a third party could probably take care of that just as well as you can, thanks to Simpy's API. But making a JSON version of the API could probably make creating the widget easier, as it's easier to read JSON with the Netvibes API.

Blog widget. I know there is a 3rd-party one but I'd like more custom control. I tried a few others and didn't like any of 'em.

Recommendations might be interesting. I like the UI the way it is.

I personally would like to insert comments in HTML-like form (or BBCODE or whatever else).

I offten link other websites in comments, but then I have to copy and paste them in the browser because aren't clickable.

If comments are long they (comments) aren't cut so search results have a weird look.
They sould be limited when showing results, but with a way to preview them whithout click on a new page. Maybe a "web 2.0" popup that shows up when the mouse goes over a label, or something like the baloons that are in gmaps.

Oh, and I forgot about notes: currently notes tags are almost useless because I was never able to search for notes tags but only on their content (and HTML code on notes would be fine too).
It would be nice to be able to search on both links and notes and not do two searches every time I need it.

The HTML-like editing I have in mind is the one used in moodle http://moodle.org/ to insert comments in forums.

Thank you

I'm raising all my hands for better UI!
Actually I thought about doing a greasemonkey-script which would alter the style of the page but the problems were
1. no time
2. the html elements had not enough id/classes
3. no time

Thanks for all the comments so far -- keep them coming, please!

pikadudeno1:
JSON response from the REST API? That's doable and pretty easy. Good suggestion.

sennoma:
Could you please tell me what kind of custom control you'd like?

pieggi:
minimal HTML in Bookmark notes and more user-friendly handling of long Bookmark notes.
Notes tag searches -- just tested that and it works. Maybe you can email me and tell me what doesn't work for you?
Searching both would be good, but I fear it would make the UI too full of textual information. Maybe an easy switch from Bookmark search results to Notes search results would work? (just imagine a link to the alternative search somewhere around the top of the search results page, for example)

Phillipp:
I'm with you :) I can't help with 1 and 3, but I can help with 2! Please let me know which id/class attributes you need and I'll add them in no time. You may also want to look at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2169 (it's Simpy-like skin for del.icio.us) and borrow from there to help you get going faster (helps when you have no time).

Off the top of my head: background color, font, fields to include or exclude, layout (spacing, etc). Just the basic look-and-feel stuff, really.

+1 to sennoma.

Simpy site needs better look and feel.
And why does Simpy blog not look even remotely similar to Simpy site?

Happy new year ^_^.

I think an improved look and feel is a good idea. A pretty site is always a good way to attract new people to the service. Let me throw out some other ideas that I think both enhance the use of bookmarks, and would help further differentiate it.

It is difficult to remember and locate bookmarks in a large collection. Maybe most stuff in the collection does not matter, but having certain bookmarks bubble back to the top on occasion would be very useful. Let's say I have an mp3 player. I want to check the support site for the product once a month for new firmware or drivers. If I could somehow tell Simpy to add this site to a "Daily Bookmarks" list once a month then I would not have to worry about remembering.

Lot's of sort options. The ability to capture clicks, last accessed dates etc, and then offer those as a sort order. That way the bookmarks I use the most can easily bubble to the top of my list.

The option to link a couple of bookmarks together in a way where only the master is shown, but the others can be accessible. For example, I bookmark a blog. Simpy also grabs the RSS feed link, marks it as a related, but it does not need to clutter the bookmark list. So now I have this list of bookmarks which have these related feeds associated with them. If Simpy offered an opml output I could use it to manage my reading list in FeedDemon. I would also second pieggi idea of HTML code in comment fields and notes.

Anyway, thought I would offer some different suggestions.

Sean:
Ah, I personally have always wanted something like your first suggestion, actually. I bookmark a lot of stuff that I really would just like to keep track of. But, once bookmarked, it gets forgotten. What I'd like is the ability to say "remind me in X days/weeks/months" and have Simpy send me an email saying "You asked to be reminded about http://..... Next reminder will be emailed in N days".

Does this sound useful?

Different sort options: You know, all of those used to be available on Simpy. I simply hid them to simplify things. Sounds like they should be brought back.

Thanks for the ideas!

+1 for the "reminder" service!

two things:

- click count (with reset possibilities, like spurl)
- less spam (spam kill the real community)

I would like to see these features:
- aggressive spam detection (maybe removal) and
- recommendations

Cheers,
Christian

I would like some response speed improvements. I generally use Firefox keyword bookmarklet to start searching and it typically takes 5 seconds or more.

I'm not complaining. Simpy's free and I really like having my bookmarks centrally and online.

I like the simplicity of Simpy's UI.

dongadoy:
regarding search speed - the search is actually quite zippy. It's the loading of some other data that is slow (and the fixes are on the way).
I am assuming only the first access is slow, and subsequent accesses/searches are fast. Correct?

I would like to see -

- Recommendations
- More aggressive spam detection and removal
- Maybe just a better overall look and feel

and I love the idea of having an option to have a reminder about a url sent to your email.

Thanks for listening. :)

JAJA, UPYACHKA! UG NE PROIDET, BLYA!

Почитал, улыбнуло :) А может и правда всегда думать исключительно о хорошем, а все плохое отбрасывать?

Немного не в тему, но вопрос такой возник автору. А почему вы именно wordpress выбрали для своего блога. Я вот ваш блог постоянно читаю :)

You recollect that saying, it takes a village to heighten a child?

Apparently, Kanye's village has failed him. He [url=https://wiki.nla.com.de/display/~buycialis/Buy+Cialis+Online+Canadian+Pharmacy]buy cialis mastercard[/url] clearly doesn't have a legal friend in the world. There does not manifest to be anyone who can get through to him, to promulgate him understand that he needs to repress his repellent behavior.

Speed websites typically compile a listing of jobs that pay $25 an [url=https://wiki.nla.gov.au/display/~buyviagraaustralia/Buy+Viagra+Online+Cheap+Australia]order viagra austalia[/url] hour. The record of professions -- and the career training you need to pass the round-up of recruiters -- can be daunting. But you don't automatically be in want of a post-graduate extent to qualify because of a calling that pays several hundred dollars a day.

While it may be faithful that helicopter pilots, high-tech administrators, and lay engineers earn $25 an hour or more, so do multifarious other professionals in careers that force only an associate or bachelor's estate to hear of onto the playing field.
