[QUOTE="Pyske, post: 3483465, member: 3567"] There are two components that are critical (to me) for the Digital Initiative: User Experience and Content. I feel that others have covered a lot of what I want for content, so let discuss what I'd like from the [SIZE=4][B]User Experience[/B]:[/SIZE] [list] [*] Massively filtered... [list] [*] common filters / searches (topic, author, column name, body text keyword) [*] filter by example (for any stat block or other content with multiple fields, provide a blank one and let me partially fill it out... then find all matches) [*] filter by ranges (publication date, level range, user rating, etc.) [*] filter by read / unread (combinable with above) [*] filter by recommender / reviewer (including rating filter) [list] [*] i.e. show me everything Crothian thinks is a 4+ [/list] [/list] [*] Bookmarkable / Categorizable [list] [*] more than just "Favorites", allow multiple tags for each item, etc. [list] [*] i.e. if I am running multiple campaigns, I can tag items with the campaign name, and am not retricted from having "Ecology of the Orc" tagged in both campaigns.
