A DM feature would be great to connect with other makers and swap insights. Maybe with a LinkedIn-style 'intro' to keep it relevant. The ability to control who can message you is key though to avoid spam.
I think giving people badges/bonuses for reviewing and providing actual feedbacks for products can be helpful
Nika
@johnberg Isn't this something that can makers do? I mean – you can be awarded the badge. Or do you mean anything else?
@busmark_w_nika Like there is a leaderboard of login streaks everyday - I don't think it is helpful. I think that would be better to create a leaderboard of people based on product reviews/feedbacks.
Nika
@johnberg aha, I like this one but the question is whether it will recognise a real feedback vs AI generated.

Maybe add discussion activity to activity. Like linkedin does it. Would make discussions more lively. Lively discussion in a place full of makers could be an interesting combo.
Nika
@sentry_co What do you exactly mean? (I am not so much active on LI atm, maybe I missed something.) Do you mean that you will see notifications that someone from your friends/connections commented interesting posts of other people?
André J
@busmark_w_nika No. notifications from threads you participated in or upvoted. So you can chime in later.

I’d like to see more active action against bots (and AI-powered writers) and more meaningful discussions. Most of it is just pointless stuff day after day.
Nika
@elenat This is so true. Even in this post are, it is enough to visit their profile and one knows :D :) I am on the same page :)

A feature that allows direct messaging between users, with the option to accept messages would be nice. It would promote more website usage and give users more control over their interactions.
Nika
@ash_grover Do you think chat, right? I think it was there but many people considered it very disturbing.
Ash G
@busmark_w_nika Oh interesting, didn't know that. I believe that with the option to accept or decline messages along with the option of disabling notifications for it would make it less distracting.
Nika
@ash_grover I think it is not only about notifications. I daily receive a huge amount of requests to upvote. It stopped to be a fun.

I do not see any big problems and generally like the website.

I would implement a section where users can create product ideas and from there gather people to help develop the product
