Feature Requests: Progress Report and Community Engagement

Hello everyone,

Since the launch of our forum, we’ve received a wealth of valuable feedback in the “Suggestions and Feature Requests” category. We truly appreciate your ongoing support, and we want to assure you that your input has been shared with the relevant departments for further consideration.

We understand that you may be eager to know the status of some of these feature requests, and we’re committed to keeping you informed. To ensure transparency, we’ve decided to share the progress of the feature requests that have garnered the most attention in the forum.

We will provide updates for feature requests and suggestions based on the following criteria:

  • They have received more than 50 views or 5 likes.

  • For feature requests that we do not plan to begin developing within one year, their status will be marked as “unaccepted.” However, we will keep these requests in our archive and revisit them if they continue to generate interest.

Every Wednesday, we will update the chart with the latest status of feature requests and suggestions from the previous week. (This gives us time to check with the relevant department regarding the progress of each request.)

We also kindly invite you to click on the links of the feature requests that interest you and give them a like. This will help us understand which features are most important to you and assist us in prioritizing development.
