"hey there is this bug, could you fix it?"
me: sure whats the bug?
*explains the bug*
me:... thats.... thats your feature request from last week8 -
I don't know why @dfox , @trogus didn't want a username with underscore and I'm sure they must be having some valid reason for it. But how in fuck did this user have the guts to rate the app 1 star simply because it doesn't have a login with fb feature? I mean you can request for a feature but it's dumb of you to rate 1 star because it doesn't have a feature you want. This is true for any app not only devRant.

!rant
I had this idea about national flags on the avatar. (Something like an item on the desk) then @letmecode suggested notebook stickers.
What you devRanters think?

Just noticed the date format mm/dd/yy. Can we switch (or give an option to switch) to a superior to format like dd.mm.yy or iso 8601
@dfox20 -
@dfox Feature request
Could we have fully displayed rants ? Maybe as a setting disabled by default ?
I mean sometimes i'd like to relax and just mindlessly scroll, and having to tap to read longer rant and then tap back is, well, too much.
Especially when the rant ia only like 2 words above limit.16 -
@dfox Can we have the option to include code blocks in rants and comments? So that they're formatted as monospace text? I mean we can get around it with pictures, but it would be a nice option to include code with an appropriate font. =)12

Swag store feature request:
I can't wear any of the shirts at work with current dress code rules. Any chance we could get some polos or golf shirts with a small, embroidered ":/" on it?
I'd buy a week's worth of those.3 -
how to make a feature request
1. dump Db table with 153 column to Excel
2. print!
3. circle column 47 on page 3, scribble feature description
4. scan! remember to use proprietary file format no one has
5. new e-mail, add "VERY URGENT!!!" to subject line
6. write "will call, discuss details monday"
6.a. attach proprietary-scanned-excel-dump-feature-description (optional)
7. postscript: deadline wednesday!!
8. wait for tuesday
9. send!

+1 if you think devRant needs a favorite button on each rant so you can create a collection of top rants 😊8
-
@dfox, feature request: swipe left/right to get to the next/previous rant. Sometimes I feel too lazy to press back button and go to the next rant. Swiping is easy.
(Edit: Not sure if it's been asked before. I'm kinda new here)4 -
Feature request:
When @ is pressed, opens up a list of people who have commented on a rant, do we can mention them quickly14 -
Authentication feature was only checking the length of the auth header instead of the actual content. I abused this to make a request to our API from inside our system with a junk header, so we were basically hacking ourselves...2

How to politely tell your client that their request for the new 'little' feature is unrealistic and fucking absurd?14
-
Why we have to wear shoes? I'd like to be barefoot... especially in summer! Vote for barefoot action!17
-
@dfox can we please add an optional 'vote' option in rants? :D It would be fun to check the preferences of people for different things.
e.g. How do you pronounce 'git'?
1. Git
2. Jit24 -
Feature request for @dfox:
Swiping for rants:
Left = nay, right = yay
Or better:
Match making via rants for devSingles.
Just kidding! I love devRant the way it is. It's the best app. Probably the best of all. It's huge. You'll like it.7 -
Client : can you add a calling feature to our android app?
Me : Ok.
*** after updating the app ****
Client : what is this **** dialog (calling permission request for android)!
Users are complaining about it and refuse to use the app!!! Don't you know I can get into legal problems with this???
Me :But you just asked for this feature?
Client : I want this feature but remove the dialog.
Me : you can't that's not how google works.
Client : I don't care do something remove the dialog or edit it but keep the feature.
Me : 😑😑😑😑 nvm I'll figure out something.
Ended up with copying the number to the dial screen instead of direct call from the app.7 -
Last week I had a presentation of a project (webapp) for a customer.
She: "Can I do {insert feature here}?
Me: "Is that a question or a feature request?" -
@dfox
!rant, it's the Feature request
Possibility to post `a code snippet with monospaced font` would be usefull.
Or even
```
def multiline_code():
from 2 to Inf:
"Lines of code"
```
Sth like in markdown.9 -
Just got a merge request to review. It's TERRIBLE
- 93 changes
- 23 commits
- includes multiple features
- includes new project configs
- includes refactoring
NO. Please don't do that.
Do smaller commits. One feature per MR. It will help you and the reviewer :D6 -
Kind of rant.
Why doesn't the cat sit on the keyboard?
At least my two cats just love that place. Perhaps a feature request?
11 -
I HATE when a request for a change or a new feature comes like a bug feedback, as if it's your fault
"I clicked this, but this behavior that we didn't agree on didn't happen!! Fix it!"
😡4 -
Comment on a GitHub issue on one of my repos:
"Almond I posted this feature request last month, please start to work on it in your free time"
Dude, that's just made it a whole lot less likely I'll even give that feature request the time of day. Take your entitled arse attitude to the bank and pay me to do it if you care that much.
Also, free time?!?! Hahahaha.5 -
What do you guys think of having a "go anonymous" feature while ranting?
I was thinking when community will go larger and people who know each other in real life, start following each other, then it might become hard for them to rant about stuff or they might become hesitant in rantings.26 -
For a developers ranting social media platforms, it sure seems strange that we can't format code snippets... 🤔
At least something like `foo(bar){}` would be awesome!3 -
Those 10 seconds when there is a feature request and you have to answer the question "How much time will it take?" inTheSpot8
-
!rant
Feature request : a setting to put ++ button on the right side ? ? ( for all you lazy right handed people.)3 -
Be nice if tapping on a comment notification would open the correct rant and scroll it down to where it actually happened 🙃15
-
Just two wishes!
#1 : Way to download images rather than having to screenshot
#2 : Code with syntax hilighting
#3 : I know I'm of by one, but a coding font maybe?4 -
Please, stop being afraid of git rebase.
Please stop merging master branch into feature branch just to fix pull request conflicts.2 -
Let me tell you the story of how a feature request no one asked for got put in an early grave:
PM walks into weekly meeting with a single use case that one user called in about, despite never having this issue during the past year and a half that our app has been in production. PM's boss (genuinely one of the best people i have ever worked with) happens to sit in this particular meeting for no reason other than he felt like he should once in a while.
PM brings up use case and wants to devote 3 weeks' development time and another 3 weeks to test RIGHT NOW while other projects are already in motion. PM's boss speaks up with this: "Listen if this guy is really this upset, we can just tell him to build his own service. All the other end users have no problems with this, so it's not worth spending the resources on, i don't think."
And that is how i went from "this is bullshit" to "i love you" in the span of 20 minutes.2 -
It would be great if there's a feature that you'll see the rants of other devs around your area. Must be exciting, ain't it?16
-
Just thought of a cool feature for devRant: rant it later!
I get why the 2 hours limit between rants exists, but it would be so cool to write a rant and the app to self post it after the 2 hours limit expires!
And it could also give a notification that the rant was posted.
What do you think?8 -
There should be a way to let Google know ok I have purchased this item already, can you please stop showing me this ad on every website I visit.5
-
< !-- features request -->
1) I think we should have a left swipe menu open action.Every time I want to open menu I have to go left top of screen.
2) preview of attached image if possible
3) Open images in posts directly without going into post and then image
4) auto play gif !??
5) Make rant favourite without going in ? Like a star symbol I suppose !
Just few thoughts ! Happy ranting ...😊5 -
Feature request:
A lot of people have been commenting on rants just to later get notifications about it, but also from my experience often times I comment on a rant but don't want to be subscribed to it.
Why not make it not subscribe you to the rant by default, and instead change the rant mute button to do the opposite and subscribe you to that rant? It would avoid the pointless comments, and this
7 -
Feature request - auto play gif
It would be really awesome if the gif would play automatically and not by clicking on the rant's gif.
Of course we can keep a setting option to keep it on or off. What do you guys think?2 -
That moment when one a simple feature request devolves into fixing all other issues of a service we own.
F******k -
@dfox feature request:
Plot of ++s per time. And maybe vertical line of when rants were posted, something like this:

Feature request:
Swipe between rants so you don't have to return to the feed if you read more / comment -
You know what devRant is missing... Flags! Something like a national flag on the background, sticker on the notebook or some item on the desk. Just a thought7
-
DevRant should have a separate sections where ppl can ask questions and learn from each other... Kinda like stackoverflow but I think this environment would be way better11
-
Will there be someday a messenger on DevRant? I think it can be good to continue some discussion in private and get to know each other.6
-
Small feature request, but I think it would be cool if you guys could add some devducks with colored capes as well as keep the classic yellow duck as an option inside Desk Items (L).
I know its impractical to add text for obvious readability issues, but I think the base color of the actual capes would be cool, you know to match your current devduck irl :) Maybe keep the classic duck at +100 and have a higher ++ for the devducks with capes? Anyways, I'll just leave this here...
@dfox @trogus
DevDuck Cape Colors:
#222242 // Purple
#b22028 // Red
#f4f6f9 // White
#f4753e // Orange
#171615 // Black
#3a6894 // Blue

Don't you think DevRant needs favorite rants i find it quiet difficult to get back to certain rants!8
-
!rant
@dfox
Many people use snippets of code in their Rants, so it's maybe a nice feature to be able to add codeblocks to rants..8 -
Public feature request: If we tap at "devRant", the feed refreshes. Can we have the same thing for rants? My shitty internet at home is fast, but choppy so when I check my notifications and it doesn't load the rant, I have pretty much no idea what that notification was about.2
-
// Feature Request START
Is it possible we can have some kind of markdown on posts and comments? Maybe not bold or italic, but because of the target of the app, some kind of one-line and multi-line code blocks that highlight from other text (for example: having a gray background, using a consolas font, etc)
// Feature Request END1 -
Got a mathematics library I develop and maintain. Someone filed a feature request ticket for matrices of matrices. As in, each value of the primary matrix is another matrix. Not understanding why anyone would need such a convoluted concept, I asked for clarification.
Response: "This piece of shit library isn't feature complete without it, now stop being a lazy fag in your mother's basement and actually do something"
Lololololol. Sure thing. Let me go waste two or more weeks of my life developing something i've never seen used in math, without any justification beyond "feature".4 -
Client writes a bug report: This and that doesn't work.
Me: This functionality never was implemented. Please open a feature request.
Client: But this is a bug. Without this feature, the service won't work as we expect.
Me: But this wasn't in the requirements for release. So you have to contact the PM for a feature request.
Client: THIS IS A BUG! FIX IT!
Me: GO FUCK YOURSELF! THIS IS A NEW FEATURE AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!
Unfortunately, I never sent the mail. But I kept it in the drafts. Maybe someday...1 -
Hey, how about this feature: a "subscribe" button. If someone you follow posts a rant, you can get a notification.8
-
@dfox Would you make it possible to cluster push notifications that occur on the same post? When I receive a lot of notifs at once it clogs up my notification center.
Additionally would it be possible so that I can completely turn off seeing certain types of notifs even in the app not just for push notifications (from what I gather that is the only thing I have control over)2 -
@dfox what would you say about a "following" feature?
Because I've noticed some absolute regular golden rants coming from some of the same ranters on here and would be cool to never miss the stuff they come out with.3 -
Devrant feature request:
Filter notifs so I can actually get to my mentions without scrolling through random comments and ++ notifs.2 -
I'd love it if the number of ++ s a rant has, to only be shown after you either ++ the rant or open it. thing is, I found my self scrolling through my algo feed and looking at the ++ count before the post itself. I was judging the post by the number of ++s it has. which made me realize that I skipped a couple of posts that I didn't read and that I could've liked.
what do you guys think about this?12 -
<feature-request>
What if we could 'share' a rant with another ranter (friend)? Then they would get a notif.
I could of course tag that person but that would create so much spam on a rant.
</feature-request>4 -
@dfox
Feature request:
If(When you are in the app and go to notifications, group the notifications for the same rant.
||
Automatically sort unread notifications to the top)
{
Zombie = happy;
}
Sometimes I have to scroll forever1 -
@dfox @trogus I work in a dept with hundreds of developers. I’m sure a lot of people on here do too.
Why isn’t there an “refer a friend” option on here? You know like the ability to invite someone to the community from within the app.7 -
That moment when returning correct HTTP status codes from an API become a feature request 😒
For the meantime I will need to deal with endpoints returning status 200 for everything, and status 500 when the service crash. 🤦🏼♂️4 -
Client: Please add feature x in "here"
Me: Adds feature x in "here"
Fast forward to QA
QA: Test for feature x failed. Feature was added in "here" but is not in "there"
Me: There was no request to add x in "there"
Client: Feature x was already supposed to be in "there", you might have removed it.
Me: *Checks file where feature would be added.
* Git blame show no changes since received we the project (one major release back)
Lying cunt. I'm sick of your literally incomprehensible tasks giving government fucks, speak human language not overhead driven bureaucracy-jargon3 -
#feature
On the 9Gag Android app, you can "scroll" up and down by using the volume up/down, if the music isn't playing. (I think you have to enable this in the setings).
I find this quite convinient, and would love to this here too.
@dfox and @trogus5 -
I have a minor feature request for the android app.
I would love to swipe down to refresh the current view. The reason for this is that sometimes my Internet connection isn't great and a rant does not load (or any other page).
It makes the app feel slightly gimmicky while a simple refresh would suffice.
@dfox1 -
Features suggestions:
1. When we type @ in the comment section it'll be nice to have autosuggest of users as we type. This will help not closing the comment and checking the spelling again and again.
2. Search available on basis of tags. Type in a tag you want to search about and get all rants/questions with that tag.14 -
I like how when on the main rant list, clicking on a GIF will open it rather than the rant, so can that be implemented for normal images too please?
Usually when an image is posted I want to see the bigger version straight away rather than going into the rant first. I realize that may annoy some people though.3 -
Why isn't there a notification when somebody downvotes you?
I'm bursting with joy when I see my shitty comments get negative points, but unfortunately I am not notified when this happens.19 -
We need a pm system for devrant so we can chat and talk about ideas. Or it would be cool if you could mail to [username]@devrant.com8
-
Just an suggestion. It has 90% possibility that this is a repost, but...
Can we have the post rant/comment to markdown? So that we can make the editor to markdown and view the rants in markdown.
Doesnt really need to be implemented though.2 -
I am bored !!! No feature request and No bug was reported from last 2 days... Nothing to resolve today.. I am thinking should I create new bug and release it as feature??5
-
@dfox
Please. Please please please!
Give us a setting to toggle "Mute notifs for this rant" by default.
I toggle it off on every post I comment on x.x9 -
Idea for a devrant feature:
Devrant could have plugin support and the community could add plugins for clients to download.4 -
@dfox
Feature request:
Open DevRant on the day page If I have opened DevRant less than 24 hours ago.5 -
!rant
When you click on a notification about a comment, does it take you directly to the comment or the rant page? I always have to scroll down to find my comment. It's not a link!
Anyone need below features?
# 0 It would be good to have your own username/comment highlighted differently so it's easy to find our own comments.
# 1 we should have a scroll to bottom option for a rant. For a huge rant when you click on notification you need to scroll down to bottom manually to check new comments. -
Is it polite to rant about devRant in devRant?
Rant/feature request.
It could be great to have body structure option in avatar creation. (like skinny, chubby, fatass etc).8 -
!rant
Request for DevRant android app:
Currently when I tap a rant on the feed I am greeted by an empty screen while it is loading all details. Usually I am on a slow mobile connection so this can take quite a while.
My suggestion is to load the rant text (and image) which you already have from the feed view into the newly created single rant view. This way I can already read and inspect the rant while loading the details.
One objection to this might be the truncated rants. However, when I checked the api when developing http://jsRant.com it turned out that the feed response isn't truncated at all. This is a ui thing, meaning that my suggestion could be implemented fully in the app without backend changes.
Please consider this suggestion @dfox or @trogus since it would make the app a lot more user friendly for those with a slow connection.4 -
An amazing git story: A month ago coworkers did research and started with merge requests. Their workflow is as follows: A Feature is developed in a branch, then a merge request is opened. After a very short review it will be closed (rejected) and merged without request. (wtf!) After that the develop branch will be tested later, in case of bugs, a new branch per feature is opened.3
-
@dfox @trogus : Do we have a feature of auto complete @ mentions ? If not, there can be an elegant feature to provide drop down suggestions to mention / tag user in comments after we type @ in comments of any rant ( not all the users , but author of the rant and those who previously commented on that particular rant previously. For example, if I commented on a rant of dfox, and trogus also comments and types @, me and dfox will be in the drop down, tapping on which will select and tag that user on that comment ). I bet users will love this devRant update. Sorry for long post , I don't have any potato :p5
-
DevRant landscape mode for ipad? Turning my head sideways doesn't make this keyboard feel very smart :P2
-
devRant should add a new feature to create polls
e.g. 1: What OS do you prefer?
- Mac
- Linux
- Windows
e.g. 2: Which programming language do you prefer for web dev, mobile dev, etc.
- Java
- PHP
...
I bet after a while a cyber war would commence. And that would be devRant's fault because it gave developers a reason to hate each other.
So devRant please disregard my request for the new feature.
Narrator: And then he laughed sardonically.4 -
!rant && feature_request
Could we have option for being notified when particular user posts something? There are people here that i'd like to "follow".
I imagine it would need some granular control there (for instance being notified about user rants but not necessarily comments).
Also it shouldn't be visible for anyone - meaning that you don't know if and how many people "follow" you just to prevent it from being twitter-like outlet and popularity contest.
Thoughts?
@dfox, @trogus3 -
Can rant creator be highlighted? Especially in big rants with lots of comments it's problematic to see story continuation (in example database drop rant)6
-
So it is Friday and I love that. :) Especially when my project manager assigned me yesterday a feature request to implement that he estimated to take no more than two days, which was right. 👍
-
@dfox feature request, as part of the menu links in a rant, if you could add open in web version.
Why?
Sometimes links aren't clickable on my devrant version (using latest Android version am on Lollipop 😧)
Sometimes really large images don't load
So I usually copy link then paste in my browser6 -
!rant, but a feature request.
@dfox, whenever I use the comment box, it covers the whole screen. So, if I wanna tag somebody in my comment, I gotta close the comment box once, memorize their username since there's no autocomplete on @'s and then type back.
Either the comment box could be shortened, or autocomplete be added to user tag function, which could atleast detect the users commenting on the current thread (since programmers suck at memorising).
What say, DevRanters?5 -
Question: tl;dr: looking for an open source bug tracking tool, or one that's affordable for small freelancers.
I'm working as freelancer with a client on a project and currently all the bugreporting/feature request/information/discussions/and other stuff happen by Telegram (not my first choice but hey, you know clients).
It happend twice, that I forgot about the specs of a feature we discussed briefly, because there was to much going on and I wasn't able to find it. So the next logical step would be to get a bugtracker.
So far my favorite would be http://www.redmine.org/
Does any one of you have good or bad expirience with it? Would you recommend something else, if so what and why? Other stuff I should consider?6 -
Just read a feature request which asked for full-app localization. The dickhead closed the request with the comment: 'since this is a small request it should probably be added to the top of the wishlist, besides you are a dutch company anyway'.
The nerve on some people1 -
Feature request: swipe from rant to go back to list of rants. It would be easier than reaching up for the "back" button.7
-
Down with Helvetica code blocks in devRant!
When you write something inside `these quotes` in Telegram, it gets rendered in a monospace font.1 -
Remember that big feature we were talking about 6 months ago?
We need it by next Friday for an important demo.
Of course we do.. what else..2 -
Feature Request
Be able to see the text of the rant one is commenting on, some of use have difficulty remembering more than 50 lines of text at a time.5 -
Feature Request:
have a queue of rants that will sit on the app to be added once the 2 hours is up.7 -
Feature request: Being able to copy text from rants/comments on mobile. Also some sort of code formatting would be nice!2
-
Feature request: hierarchical commenting for replies to specific comments within a post to de-clutter the comment section a bit. @dfox @trogus4
-
@dfox feature request: Multi-window support for Android Nougat so I can read rants and watch YouTube at the same time.2
-
!rant
Hmm... so I was thinking...
What if devRant implemented a feature that lets you get rants into some kind of list, accessible via your profile? Kind of like the "Watch later" list on YouTube, or playlists. I know we have a "Favourites" list of rants, already, on devRant, but being organized about this might be a good idea.
What do you think?3 -
Seeing quite a few people post ("bump") just to subscribe to a rant.
would be a neat feature to have a subscribe to rant checkbox :)6 -
@dfox @trogus: feature request: in iOS 10.3, a feature was added where you can customize the app icon on the home screen (see http://theverge.com/2017/3/...). Can DevRant have our avatar as our icon?4
-
Hpw cool would it be if devRant eventually was able to run in a multi window for android? Would really love to play some YouTube videos while scrolling through the feed4
-
So I just found out the hard way, that you can't take screenshots, which is great if you want to enforce privacy, but not so great if you want to treasure some of the most awesome comments you find in this community.
Is there a possibility to add a feature like favorite comments?14 -
@dfox Feature Requests:
- A layout where the feed is centered, kind of like Twitter.
- A back button integrated into the site so I don't have to click the browsers back button when I want to go back to the feed from the single rant view.
- Username suggestions when typing the @ symbol.2 -
Request: there needs to be a beard style for around the face minus the sides of the mouth and no moustache.
Think "helmet" 😐
**starts having insecurities about not being able to grow a proper beard**8 -
Issue about adding squash feature for git pull request merges on Bitbucket has been open for years...
Bonus level: you have to use Bitbucket

@dfox some suggestions that might help improve quality posts:
> Spelling check
> greentext support13 -
@dfox @trogus
post.type = Type.META_FEATURE_REQUEST
Can we have a more detailed list of profile to link to on our profiles?
Currently we have Website and GitHub.
I would love to add my GitLab and Twitter too and also order the links (GitLab above GitHub for example).4 -
!rant
Suggestion: Polls? Either user supplied or put up like the weekly rant.
I think it'd be fun/interesting with all these captive devs.
Perhaps earned every 500++ or so to avoid spam. -
Would be nice to sort comments in asc and desc order. Scrolling to the stuff at the bottom is annoying.2
-
Honestly,
Netflix you should add toggle option for series like feeling.
mhm hrm with that I mean:
It would let us to watch an episode only once a week, based on how it came out.
no more binging on the same shit like crazy.
Someone needs to be first with this,
Also everyone is doing this self control alert like behaviour in/through apps cause we all tend to forget it when we have a lot of availability to overeat ourselves.
Rant end1 -
I don't think devrant would work very well in landscape orientation, but could we please get reverse portrait orientation?
I don't know shit about app development but I'm pretty sure that is an option.8 -
When will devRant support code blocks?
Like `code here`
Or:
```
Code here
```
I mean it's a programmer community...8 -
Feature request: copy text on double tap or hold on Android. Wanted to save a few quotes, but not as a screenshot... Just an idea :)3
-
@dfox Feature request
Can you please give me the option to load the whole rants. I don't want to use the story feature because I want to see all the rants.1 -
A guy using our tool that automate rest api calls requests a feature to add the request body in the logs.
He was using “get” calls with no request body as a proof of missing feature.2 -
!rant
I want to suggest a feature that can help/encourage people to post rants more openly on devRant.
How about anonymous posts, like on Quora?
Pardon me if this feature request is already raised.2 -
!rant
Feature request:
Hey!
I think it would be awesome to have a PM system, where you can send personal messages to each other.
I understand that you'd need to integrate blocking and other privacy features, but hey what do you think?3 -
And the award for the least intelligent feature request on Github goes to...
The guy that wants a callback for when the QR code has been scanned successfully.

I wish multiple notifications would just be condensed into one on my phone... The notification menu gets cluttered by the separate replies and ++s.
Maybe instead have something like "devRant: 2 replies, 1 mention, 1 ++"?2 -
Stop posting feature requests. Go to the hamburger menu and select 'About'. You'll find the email address for ideas in there.3
-
Feature request: Setting to display whole image on main feed without having to click into the rant :)
-
@dfox feature request: feature request
A form where you can requests features and hairstyles
Sorry if already asked4 -
If you are subscribed to someone and get the notification of their new rant and if you visit the rant through the feed, not through the notification than the notification will stay until you click on it and realise that you've already seen this.3
-
A feature request -
Autocomplete suggestions when tagging someone.
It makes it so annoying to tag someone exactly how they spell their username. -
Will there be a follow user list feature in the future for devRant? Something similar to Twitter's list feature. I have a few friends who have joined but no easy way to view their rants.
Unless the feature is already there and I can't seem to find it?1 -
@DevRantDevs could you please add the feature that i can view an image dorectly from the thread wothout loading the rant?
Is maybe someone else interested in this feature?6 -
When client for past few days tells you how important that new feature he wants is, and you should get to it asap.
But then when you actually start working on it after discussing it, specification creation and preparations, with mind set and focused, he tells you:
- 'Know what? I will need that change in the old feature before that. You can postpone the new feature by one day.'
So... How was it the most important thing in the universe again? -
Feature request
Could we have some kind of way to see who created the post in the comments? Like an OP mark or a different color of the name or something?
When reading long quality rants I tend not to notice the username, and then when I'd like to engage in the discussion I have to scroll all the way up to check it.2 -
Feature request: a way to ignore users so their rants don't appear in my feed. Some of the frequent ranters, while very popular on here, really rubs me the wrong way, and I'd love to be able to filter them out4
-
Feature request: if everyone tagged memes and funnies with, say, meme, that way we could have a special feed for those. Some like em, some dislike em, everybody wins!
If a rant is really a meme, and it is not tagged as such, the downvote menu could include a "It's a meme" selection which would promote it to that feed. Whadda y'all say?3 -
I sometimes accidentally press back two times when I close a rant. Can there be something like: "press two times if you wanna close"?2
-
Feature request: I would like to see older devs represented in the avatar choices. Not sure yet how that could be portrayed. I’ll leave that up to designers. Maybe just a little grey on the sides of the heads for hair color?3
-
The random feature request using buzzwords
Can we have picture-in-picture mode for devrant?
Ok I will rest in peace now good night!1 -
If I would have gotten my last feature request as a part of the (barley existent) specifications i wouldn't have needed more than one week to do it. At least no one is complaining about me being slow.
-
Nothing shuts up a client quite as fast as completing and pushing (to QA, product isn't complete yet) a feature request within 30 min of getting the email for it.
-
Feature request: Able to subscribe to a rant and get notifs without having to leave a comment on it @dfox3
-
Get ready to launch a feature. Just about to make a pull request. Business be like, oh wait. Something came up, we need to wait a week. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
-
@dfox Feature request: could you add the "pull down to refresh" feature to the notifs and rant windows please? xox2
-
It would be great to get a blackout mode to save battery on devices with an AMOLED or OLED display as black pixels are off
Basically something like the Reddit darkmode1 -
@dfox - yall should publish some metrics on devrant, maybe a punchcard graph for rants per minute? think it would be kind of cool to see how rapidly the community is growing2

Avatar request: separate colour choice for beard.
... I'm not exactly in the 99%, but my beard hair isn't the same colour as my head hair. 😂5 -
Feature request:
OP gets ++s for different stages of comment amount.
E.g.:
5 comments = 1++
10 comments = 2++
20 comments = 4++
40 comments = 8++
...
;)15 -
tfw when you request for a nice feature and the devs respond with: "ye, we don't care even the slightest, do it yourself"...2
-
Feature request
Can you make the menu bar slide when i swipe from left to right and the reverse
I always have to go to the other end of my screen to open the menu -
It hurts when you have built an feature with so much pain after change request from your client and after six months, you notice that feature has never been used.
-
my boss is the software designer atm where every feature or modification is either conflicts with previous ones or is a change request.
Its like try and error development ! -
@dfox. I think it's gonna be greate to have a possibility to ban some tags. So posts with that tag will not show.8
-
Would it be possible to allow the iPad app to rotate? I only ever use it in landscape unless forced, because my typing speed and accuracy take a nosedive with the smaller keyboard...2
-
Explain why a feature or request is a shite idea to your manager but don't accept 'well that's what the client wants' as an answer. Insist the useless manager twat should earn his money and not ruin the project.

this.type = PostType.FEATURE_REQUEST;
What about adding a Racing Chair as a chair in the Avatar Designer.1 -
feature request, a list to which people can add feature requests to prevent people requesting a feature multiple times.4
-
@dfox feature request
poll and some sort of pinup thing.
every second day people rant abt os or editor etc and voting gets lost , u know what I mean.1 -
Why can't we attach images to the comments. They seem to be attached but are not visible.
Please look into this @dfox
Also about the rant https://devrant.io/rants/663081/...
The problem still persists on Android.
Thanks for the amazing community.4 -
So I'm working on this codebase that has about 50k lines of code and I built a feature in it today. Spent 3hours on the feature + writing tests. Then I raised a pull request and that bastard codeclimate calculated the test coverage had dropped by 0.3%.
For 6hours now I'm still looking for a way to increase the test coverage by 0.2%. FML4 -

Feature request
When you click the notif of "more comments on a rant you commented", could it scroll down to the bottom?
Preferrably to the last comment you saw but that would require some more tracking3 -
!rant
Can we bring into discussion inline monospaced code snippets again?
Basic markdown text formatting. Like bold, italics, lists.
https://devrant.com/rants/333316/...3 -
@dfox @trogus Thanks for the update. Can you look at adding the ability to view images in Landscape mode? That might allow one to view finer details especially on a small phone. The ability to zoom in could also be a bonus.1
-
@dfox Quick feature request. Checking for duplicate comment or rant and hiding them. On erratic connections impatient coders like me press submit button multiple times making duplicate posts!10
-
It would be neat if you could filter by tags, like you can filter by categories now.
So you can e.g. say "I don't want to see any posts with the tags 'gdpr' 'github' 'microsoft' "
(My feed would probably be empty afterwards, but that's not the point)1 -
I wish devRant had some cache thingy for comments,posts that has been visited or even post in timeline so it didn't make new request to load the post that has been already in timeline rather show the post when I click on it and load the comments separately. Same case with opening anything on notification ideally it should show the post without making request to the server and load comments or whatever in background. Or just download the whole content of the notification when it arrives2
-
I've searched but I can't find this having been asked before - sorry if it has. I'd like to be able to see the rant or comment I'm replying to at the top of the comment entry screen. Just helpful for context. Many thanks...1
-
@dfox Tag searches are too fuzzy. Someone tagged "cake" and I was curious how many other rants contained cake, but the search just had a bunch of results for "make," "cave," "wake," etc.1
-
Feature request: please allow the app to work in landscape and rotate. I can't get to the hamburger menu in bottom right due to broken screen3
-
I wish the iOS app could be used in landscape mode on iPad. It would allow us to view the algo feed and any other feed side by side for example.
-
@dfox @trogus
Kinda’ NOT(x+x) = rant, but still would like to have some way of direct message system in the app, i guess it will be added in the near future but im getting more frustrated by the hour when not being able to communicate directly with a user without a mention publicly and offtopic’ing the main rant’s subject.
Another thing would be cool to have the app in landscape mode without losing its ui/ux integrity. Think “iphone 6” ergonomics when at restful position.
Just realized how monstrous this app could get and be if the team grew and started implementing shit ton of APIs to connect and centralize every coding dev scheme.
And not sure if its okay or not but, I just mentioned myself! XD iMessages dejavu?

Gotta love the tard pard train that boards the station whenever you client realizes they forgot a very important feature in the change request.
-
I'm dying when I see a span of code out there in the wild, mixed with everything else. `Can we have some backtick love?`
This is a site for developers. Halp! -
It would be great to have sort options in search. Similar to reddit like order by date, likes, comments etc.
-
feature request / suggestion / wish:
i would love to "reblog" posts, or any other way they will be visible in my profile ("mark as favorite", "star"...).
the idea behind it is to have a nice little collection of posts i want to keep available to me.
i even have a suggestion for naming the action: "inherit post" ;)
hopefully i did not just miss an already implemented feature :P4 -
Request:
Do not handover project to client before deadline.
They will ask to add minor feature that will cause major bugs.
Happened with me🙄1 -
Why would these kind of libraries exists when Play Store explicitly warn about embedding secret keys in the app?
Also the joy when you see people approaching the fundamental problem as friendly as by a feature request

FEATURE REQUEST
that thing that devrantron does where it interprets html
yeah i want everything to do that
pretty sure lots of others wouldn't mind that either3 -
!rant
Feature request: could we use the volume buttons for scrolling? 9gag app style? Personally, I love lying down and just using the buttons to scroll down to eternity. I'm willing to code it myself, for Android. @dfox2 -
I've just received a merge request for a feature that we outsourced. How do you best deal with substandard quality?
It's a merge request for roughly 2k lines of code and I've already noted down 25 comments and I'm only at my first file :(4 -
I was just thinking that bookmarking a rant could be a good feature for this community. 😁
I came across some rants with info I wanted to check later, but no way to save the rant anywhere. I just saved the links to a text file for now.2 -
devRant feature request
Double tap to zoom into pictures. Would make it a whole lot easier to just browse with one hand.1 -
Feature Request:
We can now categorise rants we post, please let us filter rants in the feed by category.5 -
Feature Request: Make the Time-Selection (Day, Week, ..) swipable. The Tabbar is badly position in the top when using a large phone. Better would be that the whole page is swipable from left to right.3
-
DEVRANT FEATURE REQUEST
@dfox It would be a real time saver if DevRant app remembers the rant I was reading and saving me a time to scroll down to the last rant. :)3 -

Show the profile of the rant poster17 -
Feature request: pasting in images!
In current android version we cannot add jifs from our keyboards, or paste in the screenshot we just took.
Downloading every reaction/meme gif is lamer than just letting your keyboard do it. Anyway, it could be useful or not idk lol7 -
I'd made a feature that call's the rest service through the java code.
Desc - Calling controllers request by normal java method. 😑
Hope you guys understand this.. -
I feel like we should ressurect devops reactions on devrant, and put dedicated tab right beside stories and projects,1
