Hi, just thought of some improvements for Mushroom
1. Maybe add a new screen to list out all posts in a series? This can improve navigation 🙂
2. Maybe add bulk series editing for posts?
3. Maybe clean up the UI/UX?
4. Maybe add a “Trusted Student” rank to include more admin features?
5. Maybe add a “Suggestions for Mushroom” topic tag?
6. Please add deleting private series
7. Please check if series name is used AFTER confirming the name. I find it annoying when I type halfway and it says the name has been taken. 🙁

1. It already exists (but needs tidying up)
2. Good idea! I have already needed that 😀
3. Yeah, this will be done. As with many other things, I am trying to finish fixing the RPG area first.
4. This already exists and you’ll be front of the queue when I unleash the ‘Deputy’ rank. Again, I haven’t released this yet because I need to finish sorting out the RPG stuff first, then the UX refurbishment. Should be ready by the time we come back in September.
5. Excellent idea! I’ll get that done tomorrow 😉
6. Already exists for admin but I guess it’d be useful for users to delete their own private series or even any public series they’ve created that no other users have contributed to. That should be relatively straightforward but will have to wait until next month before I’ll have time to look at it.
7. Hmmm, I didn’t know it did it ‘live’. I’ll check that while I’m looking into #6
Yea, actually great ideas,
I think maybe Dr. Terret could also add a monthly blog competition or smth were the most liked blogger get a 50 xp bonus or smth.
And also maybe a reccomendations part, where you get recommended good content
And also maybe a subscription service, where you get notified when the bloggers u subscribed to blog
Yeah, I told him about the subscription service as “followers” and “follow” one afternoon. He said it’s a great idea 🙂 We can consider that confirmed! 🙂
Yes indeed! The follow, followed and collaborators (mutually followed) is in the pipeline. It will effectively be a means by which you can select users for whom you’ll receive notifications and a way to build ‘friend’ networks without me having to build a ‘friend groups’ function. @🐉 Kakapo da RainWing 🐉 actually requested this some time ago.
Yes, I agree.
As @wimpycat01 says, the ‘follow, followed, collaborator’ function is already in the pipeline.
Interestingly, a couple of weeks ago I programmed a prototype for a kind of carousel for a ‘Mushroom’s Recommendations’ list. You can see it along the top if you visit one of the group pages, e.g. https://mushroom-scholars.org/group-posts-archive/?user_group=G8lobal+Englishes+G8roup.
I have a bit more motivation/pressure to make these changes this summer because a couple of teachers from other schools are planning to use Mushroom too, so gotta get it as user-friendly as possible. So, thanks for all these suggestions!
