Learnivore! beta feedback

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. User-provided ratings on screencasts ?

    Ratings or thumbs-up could be useful to know which screencasts the user found interesting.

      I’m wondering: wouldn’t it be better to just rely on delicious to provide that feature ? (ie: bookmarked would equal thumb-up ?).

      I’m keen to “leverage existing infrastructure” whenever possible.

      Thoughts ?

    • Separate RSS for free and paid items

      Suggested by Kevin Radcliffe.

      Would that be useful ?

      • Add the videos Confreaks makes at Ruby and Rails conventions

        They regularly record a dozen or more videos at conferences every couple of months. That material would make excellent additions to the Learnivore material.

          Hi John,

          I like the confreaks videos most of the time. I’ll get in touch with them to see if it’s possible to have them onboard.

          thanks ! (and sorry for the late reply).

        • allow readers to submit links

          There are many good screencasts out there that don't appear in the Learnivore feed. By allowing readers to submit links you would have a better chance of building up a more complete list of screencasts.

          • Different graphics or colors for paid and free items in the list

            A couple of people have requested some visual cue to make it easier to distinguish paid and free screencasts in the result list.

            Could be either a slightly different background, some icon...

              • Filter based on freshness

                I'd find it useful to be able to keep only casts that match a given time criteria (eg: less than 3 months old, between 3 and 6 months old etc).

                • Perhaps add pluralsight?

                  Not sure if this fits with the site, but they regularly do free special shows, but generally charge to view them - http://www.pluralsight-training.net/microsoft/

                            Thanks for taking the time to add this suggestion – the good news is that it’s already planned :)

                            I’m just waiting for John Yerhot to finish a few things and go live officially – it will definitely be added to Learnivore.com!
