pizzamachine: Sputnik’s Missing Features

pizzamachine 08.18.23	Some ideas
el_newg 08.18.23	sputstitution 2.0
Hyperion1001 08.18.23	“subscription to something (you’re welcome mx)“ hahaha ily pizza
Purpl3Spartan 08.18.23	sort ratings by genre!! great list frfr
Dewinged 08.18.23	Sounds like an entirely different site lol
bellovddd 08.18.23	12 please
Spec 08.18.23	Yeah where’s my sputnikmusic flex fit hat at?
pizzamachine 08.18.23	You may joke but a new Sput logo on a black tank with huge metal band type lettering and gore would be awesome
SomeCallMeTim 08.18.23	“An app” I’d argue make the site mobile friendly first
MoM 08.18.23	Right? Let’s bring this site into the future
MoM 08.18.23	I’ll pitch in some cash if needed
JohnnyoftheWell 08.18.23	the SPUTNIK INTERVIEW RAFFLE will fix 22 and also literally everything else
Koris 08.18.23	I've actually been wanting to developing a Sput app for a while now. I'm pretty tech-savvy, so I'll see what I can do Mostly because the mobile version of the site is... uh, not the best, lol
SomeCallMeTim 08.18.23	There is no mobile version of the site lol that’s the problem Still an app may be cool too
Spec 08.18.23	I’m not even kidding give me my hat.
SomeCallMeTim 08.18.23	OH Update password security requirements (complete lack there of) and password reset functionality, and if possible some form of Mfa
ArsMoriendi 08.18.23	Musical Neighbors Last.fm intigration
Spec 08.18.23	Those are two ridiculous ideas that this site will never think of doing.
pizzamachine 08.18.23	The irony of this list being featured
Colton22 08.18.23	i don’t think you guys realize how flimsy the code is for this site rn, even if the one man dev team had the motivation to ever add anything, it’s probably not even possible without reworking it from the ground up
Emim 08.18.23	This is part of some stuff already mentioned, but being able to search users directly would be nice.
DadKungFu 08.18.23	Colton as one of maybe 3 people who would be cool with you being back on the site, sort your shit guy
Colton22 08.18.23	how did my comment possibly upset you
Koris 08.18.23	^ one of the worst users on the entire site
Emim 08.18.23	And that's hard to do
Koris 08.18.23	Seriously
Hyperion1001 08.18.23	in all seriousness my #1 most wanted has always been a user mute feature.
Dedes 08.18.23	Im steaming put up your dukes bud A more easily accesible mobile site would be nice, especially would be nice if we could make it such that the site doesn't time out so easily writing lengthy reviews so unlearned users don't write a multisegmented essay only for it to be purged into the nether.
Sinternet 08.18.23	im purposefully giving pink eye to anyone i see wearing sputnik merch
Dedes 08.18.23	@sin What if we start making something of real interest, like sputnik throw pillows perhaps??
pizzamachine 08.18.23	any further debacles from or against Colton will be deleted from here on
PotsyTater 08.18.23	“ in all seriousness my #1 most wanted has always been a user mute feature.” [2] How many users would not have Colton muted tho? Three?
Sinternet 08.18.23	"@sin What if we start making something of real interest, like sputnik throw pillows perhaps??" dibs on the daddy jom pinup body pillow
Colton22 08.18.23	add sinternet’s chin to the list pizza
pizzamachine 08.18.23	“user mute feature” A block button is per normal for sites eh
ToSmokMuzyki 08.18.23	stop trying to ruin sput
pizzamachine 08.18.23	Who is
YoYoMancuso 08.18.23	thank you for including michael jackson - thriller
ToSmokMuzyki 08.18.23	u are
pizzamachine 08.18.23	No prob Yoyo anytime every day
sr388 08.18.23	i would love this site to be remotely modern but it’s also endearing that it hasn’t changed since i made my first account like 14 years ago
sr388 08.18.23	- difficultly posted from my iphone
JeetJeet 08.18.23	"in all seriousness my #1 most wanted has always been a user mute feature." This, and fix the digs feature, and make it easier to change your username
ToSmokMuzyki 08.18.23	site works fine on my phone idk whats to complain about
SteakByrnes 08.18.23	what would 5 even entail
pizzamachine 08.18.23	Something epic
Emim 08.18.23	Give mx money, receive nothing in return
ToSmokMuzyki 08.18.23	subscribe to me and you will get daily shoutbox posts about mah ballz
chemicalmarriage 08.18.23	Upvote/downvote comments
Avagantamos 08.18.23	comment threads for albums with no review
ToSmokMuzyki 08.18.23	fuck thats a good one actually
DePlazz 08.18.23	[2]
DePlazz 08.18.23	Unsubscribing from individual comment threads A comprehensive and accessible overview of all your discussion threads Response levels and subthreads within discussions, etc
MoM 08.18.23	There are so many good ideas in here, holy shit
Koris 08.18.23
CugnoBrasso 08.18.23	Adding other users as friends, a search engine based on album/song titles and not only artists, a private messaging system, ...
GreyShadow 08.18.23	forget fixing this beautiful shitstorm, id love a real sputcord more than anything. my main friendcord died cuz people are stupid so i need a replacement : )
GreyShadow 08.18.23	but legit, im a dev and might need a legit project to work on in the future if i end up unemployed. would def be interested in bringing this to a modern techstack/getting involved with whoever else still works on this place. could be fun/productive
MoM 08.18.23	Nice! Let’s do it! Just got paid, so if you need a bit of cash, i can chip in
Trifolium 08.18.23	Lists automatically load with opened comment section. (Would be ultra helpful on phone!)
CugnoBrasso 08.18.23	I would unironically give you money for that GreyShadow
Emim 08.18.23	Misclicking, zooming, misclicking, zooming, and finally opening the comments on a list is part of its old world charm. Almost as fun as clicking edit on a comment
Purpl3Spartan 08.18.23	True
Purpl3Spartan 08.18.23	Subscription would be greyshadows paycheck as he works on the site lol
zakalwe 08.18.23	As long as we are here then the site doesn’t need sprucing up.
BookoftheFallen 08.18.23	When creating a list or review you should be able to save as a draft.
MoM 08.18.23	“ Almost as fun as clicking edit on a comment” Oh my god. The number of times I’ve misclicked
ffs 08.18.23	- sputnik simple mode for making reviews with big words and long sentences easier to read - delete old boring albums from the database to make room for new metalcore and post hardcore releases - user signatures showing their T levels at the bottom of their posts
Sowing 08.18.23	We don't have avatars and can't change our passwords but I'm sure all of this other stuff will be added posthaste
botb 08.18.23	I would say bring the forums back but the folks that exclusively posted there in the present were mostly very cringe
Vercetti 08.18.23	A way to add an album that's connected to more than 1 artist. Right now you have to create a new "artist" if two people/bands make a collaborative album. But I don't know how hard it would be to implement this.
s0nicx 08.18.23	I'll wait to see what comes out from the raffle thing in terms of feedback of what to add/fix for features. There's a lot that can be done to help fix the site but even from the outside 1. There's a lot here for people who (lets face it) are here in their free time, not a job and 2. Not every change is gonna be universally praised/wanted so gotta narrow it down somewhat and basically tier everything from most important to least important.
pizzamachine 08.18.23	I’m sure issues will be addressed with the raffle, but the way changes have SLOWLY taken place with very little collaboration… I just wanted a temporary home for feedback from Sputnik.
Valzentia 08.18.23	the ability to credit all collaborators for reviews because i've seen quite a few and they should all be credited
Futures 08.18.23	lets be real this site is lucky to still be kicking
ToSmokMuzyki 08.18.23	- user signatures showing their T levels at the bottom of their posts this, plus a meter depicting how trv you are
GreyShadow 08.19.23	seriously so curious as to who either still works and or maintains this/has access to the codebase. i'm not amazing but i can get the job done, especially with a team (would love to work with any/all of you!) i'll have a better gauge on my current situation in like 2 weeks but yeah, would lowkey be thrilled to make this place better
Dunpeal 08.19.23	been a while since I visited. did something dramatic happen? site loads blazingly fast now.
pizzamachine 08.19.23	The site was hacked. It’s also fast for me! :] We’re getting through to em boys!!
sonictheplumber 08.19.23	bigger avatars for all users, not just the mods
sonictheplumber 08.19.23	images need to come back, i would love to post funny images. could elevate the discourse a bit
sonictheplumber 08.19.23	forums? forums are making a comeback in 2023 and the timing of this attack was tragic, just tragic. we can bring back forums, we can bring back america. people used to talk, just like i am to you
Emim 08.19.23	"been a while since I visited. did something dramatic happen? site loads blazingly fast now." Just had to Thanos snap half of all the comments and avatars lol
Emim 08.19.23	An "easy" addition would be to just let everyone have access to the more granular rating scale that staff has.
JAV 08.19.23	A functional search
pizzamachine 08.19.23	Yes pls for the love of god
CugnoBrasso 08.19.23	When was sputnik last hacked?
Purpl3Spartan 08.19.23	It was like February I think a lot of people lost their avis and some comments (I lost 2k) and the entire forum had to be scrapped. Dogs are gone and avis can’t be changed anymore
Emim 08.19.23	Not da dogs
CugnoBrasso 08.19.23	Nurse: "Doctor Sputnik, the patient has got an ingrown toenail, what do we do?" Sputink: "Amputate the whole leg."
Rastapunk 08.19.23	Nice list, to be honest I haven't seen much change since I joined in 2011...
ReefaJones 08.19.23	Should definitely add the ability to search for albums instead of only the artist. Makes it easier to search albums when multiple bands/artists have the same name and also makes it possible to search for albums/compilations by "various artists"
sizeofanocean 08.19.23	Please make this happen
someone 08.19.23	This kind of a list is being published at least once a year to no change
ReefaJones 08.19.23	the site probably barely pays for itself to stay up so they feel it's not worth it to put the time and effort into it. You'd need a volunteer dev to fix this site. They should ask for one maybe someone would do it
Rastapunk 08.19.23	Who owns this site? Is the person still coming here?
Rastapunk 08.19.23	"the site probably barely pays for itself to stay up so they feel it's not worth it to put the time and effort into it. You'd need a volunteer dev to fix this site. They should ask for one maybe someone would do it" I was (well still am...) on another forum about computers and whatnot who had little dev work for years and the owner told us it was paying itself pretty well, hence why he didn't want to sell/bother to improve it.
Azazzel 08.19.23	as a power user, site navigation could be improved, like just more hotlinks to band pages would be huge. If I'm past page 1 of a review I should be able to just click the band or album name not >backload 2 pages or scroll up to 'back to review' then to the link. or in Feature publications especially the list countdowns that just link to the album art. also, I like this site for the focus on the music and lack of space for cult of personality profile building or all the cancerous reddit hierarchies that comes with a feedback metric. if this site got sold to a new owner I'm sure they'd tried to monetize it like that and I'm out I have no issue with the sites aesthetic and would be one of the last things I'd mess with major changes outside of maybe some front page layout tweaks but generally I like the lack of clutter and always large and visible album art wherever you're at on the site using the Chart feature has also always been AIDS but that's low priority for me at this point
sizeofanocean 08.19.23	I think it would be fair it the facelift was crowdfunded by users. Don't know the costs but if enough people pitched in, it would probably be reasonable
pizzamachine 08.19.23	Surveys are also a useful thing
DadKungFu 08.19.23	Yeah crowdfunding would be the way to go
Gyromania 08.19.23	Sadly this is what happens when the owner of a website doesn’t give a shit about it and just uses it to collect ad revenue
MoM 08.20.23	This fucking site has been held together by love, rubber bands, and toothpaste, but it still kicks ass
nol 08.21.23	they aren’t gonna do shit
MoM 08.21.23	Hopefully they do!
pizzamachine 08.21.23	A wise man once said Never Say Never - The Remixes
nol 08.21.23	the only way would be to make a different website entirely, sputnik has been engraved in a park bench for a long time and it’s just gonna stay there unaltered
pizzamachine 08.21.23	Never surrender
cold 08.21.23	"I would say bring the forums back but the folks that exclusively posted there in the present were mostly very cringe" R.I.P. volumniusflush
Deez 08.22.23	Damn cover artworks missing. Should be able to just add one over it
pizzamachine 08.23.23	The ability to do links would be useful
JacobsLadder 08.24.23	Sorting ratings by year, artist, genre
0GuyMan0 08.24.23	"This, and fix the digs feature, and make it easier to change your username" what the fuck ive been on about changing my username since like 2015
cycosynner 08.27.23	Another certified banger list by Pizza.
