I'd like to say NodeBB is very exciting. It's so clean and functional, it really looks and feels next-gen. So forgive me if I get a little carried away here with my fantasy list of features. I'm not a developer, I'm a graphics designer, so i don't quite know what is or totally isn't possible with this software.
Next month I'd like to start working on a forum for what could end up as a fairly large group, and we have a bucket list of fantasy features:
- Featured threads/articles for our local journalists, magazines, lobby groups, politicians.
- Events calendar for our local shops, track day organizers, charity events, rallys television shows, etc. It would be nice if people could rsvp.
- It would be really nice if threads could be tagged with a date, time and location so people can search for threads about events could be searched by date and distance.
- There will be several for sale subforums. It would be nice if these threads were organized like classifieds, filterable by category, price, distance, etc.
- It would be really nice if forsale threads were tagged with a location, and even the VIN number so members could buy/sell with full disclosure.
- Closed registration, invite by current members-only.
- The goal would be that moderators arent needed. Either youtube style where five thumbs down hides a comment/ give thread-starters the ability to delete comments/ban users from their thread.
- No embedding necessary. Type in a url and if it's a valid image or a video it self-embeds.
- A shop to sell stickers, teeshirts, things to keep the lights on.
- Above all it's got to have a look/feel of beauty and simplicity. The goal here is to make a real social media platform that we wish forum were.
This is just the bucket list. If people think that any of these are eventually possible, please message me I'd like to talk to you.
