Sutori is in beta! and I got some feedback/bugs :) These will be in somewhat random order.

Stories

  • Having the story ID on the post name doesn’t read well. I would lose the ID on the post. I understand why it is there, but why not do what WordPress does on duplicate titles for example?
  • There is no “next” link on a story listing page.
  • Can’t preview a story before posting (at least it appears so, i haven’t posted a story :))

Profile

  • Can’t change password in edit profile.
  • Can’t see email address when signing in. The field is not long enough, I would suggest a more traditional approach here.
  • When editing profile, there is a web site name which needs to be filled in if you give a link or the link will not render. I would say, render the link if no site name is available anyway.
  • Can’t add links to the profile description or html. Some limited html would be good, like simple formatting, maybe links.

In General:

  • The tag cloud on the top right seems to stand out too much. The section bellow it is not really visible. No real suggestions here yet.
  • What about sending out sutori invites? ya just like gmail, except the more love the more invites?
  • It would be nice to see a list of my recent comments and voted for them.
  • When posting a comment, have the agree/disagree option as it relates to the story in question. It kinda ruins the flow to have to go back to the top of the page to “vote”, but make it not mandatory.
  • I love the default monkey icon. He looks somewhat familiar :)
  • Not sure if “remember me” functionality is planned, but its handy to have.
  • Needs “forgot password”.
  • The text font used in the images, apart from the logo is hard to read and looks “messy”. A font that small and chubby just doesn’t alias well.
  • ATOM/RSS feeds - be l33t and just offer ATOM
  • What’s the default session time out? I just got logged out :)
  • How is the featured story chosen?

That is it for now. It has been interesting reading the stories posted so far. I need to go out and buy something so I have something to post. Great Job guys! And be sure to stop by the Sutori Blog for news on the site.
