Ability to Import Puzzle Collection
by Anonymous • 2 weeks ago
Import from a strictly-formatted CSV, with minimum of fuzzy-matching on name of puzzle, and suggested further matching on metadata of designer, producer, etc. This will better help match to the correct puzzle. You'll get a "best guess" of top 3 that match your puzzle, and you can choose the best one that represents your collection. If none match, you can search by keyword manually for a match (sometimes under a different name or producer), or an "add as new entry" toggle to create a new page instead for said puzzle upon import completion For large collections, this would be best to do in chunks of 50, that way a substantial state doesn't have to be held and potentially lost, and processing happens in segments

Incentivise completing listings with "bounties"
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
On the front page, show a small selection of very incomplete listings and offer additional buzz bits for submitting a large amount of information. Bounties would be picked randomly from listings with missing critical info, weighted by the amount of missing info (critical info being the required stuff for any puzzle like desc, goal, maker, designer, price, material, category (ies)). The bounties can be shown on the homepage sidebar like... Know something about this puzzle? | Listing image here | | Missing field | Missing field Contribute info button

Allow users to mark auctions (in Browse -> Auctions) as lots
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
Allow users to mark auctions as lots and remove them from the list of auctions as lot auctions cannot contribute to individual listing pages' auction values.
Discussion
by CoreMods • 2 days ago
Upon thinking about this more, this feature should probably be more generalized to allow users to mark auctions as bad for a number of selectable reasons. Auctions for lots, auctions for non-puzzle items, and auctions where insufficient info is provided to identify the puzzle (usually a dead link) could all be weeded out here.

Add Auction Value to Export
by jason • 2 weeks ago
Currently only the Retail Price appears on the collection download spreadsheet - adding Auction Value as well would provide a more comprehensive picture of collection value.

Ability to share my collection privately
by Alfonso89 • 2 weeks ago
I would like to share my collection privately. Currently, the system only allows this if I make my collection public. I'd like to be able to share it with others without having to make it public. Thank you!

Puzzle variants as parent / child articles
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
Allow users to create variants of puzzles on the listing page for a puzzle. Adding a variant requires a unique subtitle such as appending "Ice Edition" or "Titanium Edition" to the end of the puzzle's main name "Rubik's Revolution". Variants can be browsed via a selector near the listing title, and can be collected separately by users. Variants will inherit the information associated with the base puzzle when it was made, but this info can be specified separately when needed, overriding the parent puzzles info (such as a description that adds additional information about the variant).

Confirm creation of listings without photos
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
In order to cut down on the amount of listings created without sufficient information to identify the puzzle save for the author's train of thought, push a pop-up whenever one submits a listing without photos along the lines of "Are you sure you want to create a listing without any images?"

Prevent listing creation while images are uploading
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
Because image uploading takes a minute, prevent listing creation during the period in which photos are still uploading. Alternatively, wait to post data until uploading has completed, then finish the submission at that time. This will prevent accidental submission of listings without photos that were intended to have photos.

Ability to mark a link as a spolier
by pawliger • 2 weeks ago
When adding links, it would be helpful to be able to mark the link as a spoiler, if they are a link to content that contains a solution. You would need to take an explicit action to first see the link, and then would be able to access it. This is similar to the UI for spoiler tags in platforms like Discord and Reddit.

Remove "Unknown" from data fields when data is entered
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
"Unknown" is a special entry used in some data fields where the info may not be known, and possibly never known. When a list field comprises of only an "Unknown" entry and data is added to it, the "Unknown" should be removed automatically rather than asking an admin to handle it.

Add an "unspecified" option to filters / searches
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
Add the ability to filter listings with information that could be left blank as "unspecified" in the filter dropdowns. Sorting unspecified info will allow users to find listings with missing info to fill in.

Auction site stats
by jxn • 2 weeks ago
Maybe show some stats on the various auction sites? Does the same puzzle show different values on different sites? How many auctions have been conducted on each site? How many in the last twelve months? This probably comes down to PP vs. Nick Baxter, but I'm still curious to see the results.

Add user-selectable additional info fields
by CoreMods • 2 weeks ago
Besides generic info fields that apply to all puzzles, add the ability for users to add additional info fields when creating a listing that can contain other helpful pieces of info that don't apply to all categories of puzzles. Also, when creating a puzzle in a given category, allow the site to automatically add additional info fields when they apply to whole categories but not all puzzles (IE twisty puzzles have many interesting mathematical data points such as "God's Number", and the "Devil's Number" which specify the maximum number of moves from solved and the number of moves required to reach all states respectively). See for more suggestions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oBdwkw25perWuMIxyUHANJSo_Al13p0Xixj_qijgkNU/edit?tab=t.0
