Hey everyone!
Well, I've been talking about doing Custom Lists for awhile now, and all it took was a multi-month quarantine to make me sit down and do it. If the name of the feature isn't self-explanatory, it means any user can create lists like the ones in the Lists area, and other users can view them/check them off/whatever.
A few quick notes before we get to it:
When I say beta, I mean beta. There are some significant things left to do. For one, this initial test is only available on desktop. It's also not integrated into profiles or the Lists area, and the options are still limited. All of that, of course, will change, when we've established that the basic stuff is working well.
I'm pretty sure things are working well enough that you won't lose your work even if I have to change a bunch of stuff, but if you're concerned about that at all, please don't put a ton of effort into it without saving a local copy or something, because I can't 100% vouch that this won't blow up or start over. Unlikely, but possible.
If you're interested, I just need you to go to the URL below and make a few lists. If you wanna make some token efforts to try to break stuff, cool. I'm deliberately not explaining how stuff works to see if everyone can just figure it out on their own. I mostly want to make sure adding/removing/editing/reordering works okay. Okay, enough premable. Here it is:
A little bit of qualitative feedback is okay, but mostly it'd be better to hold the smaller stuff until this is further along. I mostly just need to know if things are broken, or really unclear, or if there's something really potentially great and obvious I should do, but please have a high threshold for all that, and not just an open feedback session, since I expect a lot of the suggestions are things I'm already planning anyway.
If you run into issues, please be as specific as possible re: your computer, browser, exactly what the issue is or error you're getting is ("I do exactly this and it says exactly this," as opposed to "it doesn't work" or "it won't let me"). Thank you in advance!
Once I'm satisfied the basics are working, I have a lot of ideas for this feature, particularly stuff that lets you customize how the final list is displayed to others (which films get top billing, what that looks like, et cetera). And obviously it'll be something you can display in your profile (which I want to make more and more a "shrine" to your favorites and lists and whatnot).
