Website Enhancement

Welcome to OpenProcessing official feedback forum. Do you have an idea? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? OpenProcessing wants to hear from you!

Any suggestions?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

    1. "Upload to OpenProcessing" plug-in for Processing Application

      I can create an "Upload to OpenProcessing" plug-in for Processing. It would be a menu item under Tools menu in Processing, which would automatically Export your sketch, .zip it, and upload it to your account, and show you your sketch in your browser.

      • "tweak the sketch" feature: live editing of source code

        "Tweak the sketch" feature would allow anyone to edit the source code of anyone's sketch live on the website, compile and see the result on the fly, and post it back as a response. See opencode.media.mit.edu, they have a similar backend that allows live editing.

        • allow tagging of other users sketches

          many people use no or bad tags on their sketches, it would be great to be able to improve on that by adding your own tags to other peoples sketches

          • Remixing

            A way to track 'parentage' of a sketch, when a sketch is derived from another on the site. Implementation: include a manifest with the sketch's id when downloading a zip. This information is passed back to openprocessing when the child sketch is uploaded. Inspiration: MIT Scratch.

                • Improve Functionality in the Comments

                  1) Allowing link for a OpenProcessing sketch that may look like that:
                  [link:123]the name of the sketch[/link] where 123 is the visualID of the sketch.
                  2) Allowing external link like [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set]the famous Mandelbrot set[/url].
                  3) And a link to the portfolio of the user who is commenting (by clicing on his logging name under 'comments'.

                    Would be useful to have the thumbnails expand (or show up in the 'featured' window) in the openprocessing homepage when rollingover with the mouse.

                        yes this totally makes sense. I couldn’t update that page since the launch of the website, so a touch up would be good. Also, I need to add PC/Linux snapshots (not just Mac).

                          It would be nice to subscribe to members, so we know when new sketches are uploaded from them.

                                  yes, there is no icon/logo yet. Well, #1: I suck at visual/logo/icon design. #2: the website is visually rich by the sketches submitted, so I always wanted to have the site visually very basic, in order not to be dominant over the sketches. #3: I am open to any logo submissions :)

                                  It looks like links do double duty - as normal href's and by changing the page via javascript. So if you "middle click" to open in new tab, the link opens in both the new tab and in the current tab...

                                  • To see the number of comments for each sketch

                                    beside the sketch thumbnail (but without opening it) it would be nice to have an idea of the number of comments that have been written (and even something like a "new" label when the last comment is fresh)

                                    • Change the Way Tags are Displayed

                                      Change the way tags are displayed when browsing by tag. There are so many tags now that you can't read most of them since they're so small.

                                        Java loading is a slow task that stops the browser, so it's hard to browse new contributions and get a bit frustrating!

                                        • A release of openprocessing footages

                                          For VJs or Resolume users it would be fantastic to have a release of footages from openprocessing sketches.
                                          The author of the sketch must be agree with this.

                                          • make links in comment tabs clickable

                                            would be great to jump quickly between app, users blogs, external websites suggested in comments.
