Short-ish List of Feature Idea(s)

[KneeGrowJay]

Welp, Nows My Chance to Share Some of The Dumb Ideas I've Been Keeping All Bottled Up. So Here It Goes! (:

(Sorry In Advance for Any Confusion or Headache That May Come from Reading Such Dumb Ideas!)

---

Features & Why: • Rearrange Units Inside Patches & Rearrange Patches

• This May Sound Pretty Useless, But I'm A Little OCD. It's Pretty Annoying Going Back & Having 2 "isJailbroken" Units Seperated. Useless I Know, But It Makes It Look A Little Cleaner.
• Possibly Make It Look & Work Like The Rearrangement of Apps In The Notification (The 3 Lines Thing That You Just Press/Hold & Move Up/Down)
• Also Organizing Patches Would Be Nice!

• Some Kind of Report Button

• Maybe Have Something Users Can Press Like A "Patch Broken" Button That'll Notify The Author So They Can Update/Remove It?

• Copy The AppStore

• Okay This Is Going to Be A Mouth Full... (Bare With Me Here)
• This Idea Is Based On The Screenshot @punksomething Posted On Twitter of The "Twitter - Fake Verified Patch" Where It Kind of Looks Like The AppStore (Not Sure If It Was Intentional). But I Think It Should Be A Little More Like The AppStore. By That I Mean It Should Have The Tabs Read "Details / Comments / Related" Instead of The "Details / Comments / Collection" (As Seen In The Screenshot) & In The "Related" Tab It Should Have "More by (Authors Name)". Also I Think It Should Have Something Like The "Customers Also Bought" Section In The AppStore, But Instead Be Something Along The Lines of "Other Patches You May Enjoy" (Or Something That'll Display Other Patches by OTHER Authors So That People Can Find Other Authors They May Want to Follow!!)
• Sorry If This Was Confusing... I I Suck At Explaining Things.

• Link Your PayPal

• Some People Work Really Hard On Their Patches & Will Usually Leave Their PayPal Info In The Patch Description. Being Able to Link Your PayPal Directly Would Make Making Donations to Authors A Lot Easier & Authors Won't Have to Leave Their PayPal Info In EVERY Patch They Create!

• Select/Change Multiple Units At Once

• This Would Make Changing Multiple "isJailbroken" Units to FALSE A Lot Faster! It May Not Sound Ground Breaking, But When You Have to Change 15 Units to FALSE or 21 Units to NULL, It's Time Consuming. Maybe I'm Just Lazy, But I Think It Would Make Creating Patches A Lot Faster!

• Seperate Created & Downloaded Patches

• In The "Patches" Tab Have Two Tabs Inside Seperating The Two, This Will Allow You to Implicate An "Update / Update All" Button for When An Author Updates Their Patch Users That Have The Patch Downloaded Can Sinply Update It (Much Like Updating Apps Within The AppStore).

• Notified When A Patch Is Approved / Denied

• Not Sure If I'm The Only One Who Checks The "Recent" Tab to See If / When My Patch Gets Approved, But It Would Be Nice to Get A Little Notification That Tells If Your Patch Was Approved or Not.

I Think That's About It... Sorry for All of This, Didn't Think Explaining Everything Would Be So Hard. I Didn't Want to Be Too Vague or Be Too Detailed & Confusing (I Think I Gave A Little Too Much Detail There In The Middle). Sorry! I Know They Some of Them Sound Like Dumb Ideas, But Yeeeaaaaaa. (:

Thanks for writing all of these out. For reference I've attached the app store-like patch page you were talking about. It's a design for Flex 3, but I'll see about implementing something similar in Flex 2.5

I'm going to split these features out into different issues and link them back here.
