A really helpful feature, it meets my needs exactly.
Grammarly can help to some extent for spellcheck and grammar checking.

It will be better If there is a strategy that encourages readers to improve the article.

Suggesting edits. Similar to the Quora model, where you curate the edits on your posts.

That would let native English speakers help out non-native speakers too.

Also, a zen-mode mobile editor, with nothing except the text box (which scrolls rather than disappearing behind the keyboard!)

Chrome on Android, if anyone wants to debug...

Live preview while writing posts. I feel it's really annoying to keep switching back and forth between the editor and the preview.

That would be really really helpful for people like me

Being able to have the same post in several languages with an easy switch option

I'm a non-native English speaker, and currently, I'm using the Grammarly Chrome extension for grammar checking, I totally recommend it.

In terms of features, I think it would be nice to add a link to the articles that earned a badge, right now you can see your badges (an others) but it would be nice if you could click on a badge and it would redirect you to the specific article that earned you that badge.

I was also taking a quick look at the API, and I was thinking that it would be great to have the option to obtain things like a list of who is following a specific user, and who is that user following.

A computer-brain interface, so I can ingest all the info more quickly.

I would love to see a better Follower tab in my dashboard.

I think it would be nice to search and / or filter the list to better interact with users who follow yourself.

I'd love to be able to @ tag other Dev.to users in posts when I mention them 🙋‍♀️

Dark mode....

I’d like to be able to save articles to various collections of some sort. There’s some VERY valuable information in a lot of articles here and it would be excellent to be able to reference them later without having to export them to google keep or other mediums.

Definitely some native mobile apps!!!

It would be nice to sort and filter posts (by reactions, views, etc) while searching

I can see two missing features:
1) black list. For example I'm following the #productivity tag, but as I'm macos user I don't want to read posts tagged with #windows because I'm totally not interested in window's programs.

2) add-comment-form at the bottom of comments sections

Autocomplete for tags, and/or suggested tags.

Interfaz oscura

A pronoun field in the bio settings.

Also, links automatically opening into another tab. Often, folks use DevTo as documentation/ref, and it's rare I want to leave the page from another link.

"Maybe add badges or some kind of incentive to get people to actually bother!".
There is already a badge system. Maybe they should show it next to the username?

I care deeply about the multi language issue as a polyglot living in this modern tower of Babel called Berlin, Germany.

On my profile, I show which languages I speak well enough

That gives multiple hints

• my mother tongue is not English so please be kind
• if your mother tongue is for example Spanish, please don't be afraid to DM me in Spanish with the chat feature

my request for dev.to : display the languages that the user feels comfortable speaking in the user profile. at least as an option.

No offence to webdevs , but my dev.to feed is 23/25 articles just related to Js/webdev, despite me not following any of those relevant topics.

I want Dev to prevent user from giving reactions to their own post.

That is similar to the way the quora and stackoverflow do and yes the mods that do language and grammar checks could be useful.
Also having a badge for that activity would help.

Same + too many articles covering things which the internet is full with (eg: introduction to react hooks / async await / other generic stuff), or articles which are basically just rephrasings of the readmes

Public reading/watching/listening list on user profiles. So a page where people can publicly list which books/articles/etc. they are reading/have read/are going to read.

It's very rare that I see anything on dev.to that I would consider "advanced knowledge", most of the stuff I read on this site is beginner, maybe breaching into intermediate.

This is not a bad thing - it makes for a very inclusive community, and if I want a quick introduction to something I know where to look! I just wouldn't use this website for anything more than what it seems to be.

There's already an "Experience Level of Post" setting under management, I'd be grateful if that were a displayed/filter-able category.

I've mentioned this before somewhere, but heavily programmer-focused custom filters.

I would like to set [my default view] to be posts on [topics from this list] excluding [topics on this other list] including one or more matches to /this pattern/ and excluding matches to /this other pattern/ ordered by [most-recent], and I'd like other people to be able to subscribe to this filter:

view-name: Cool javascript
topics-in: javascript,
topics-out: node
advanced-filter-in: title:/cool|fancy|exciting|new/
advanced-filter-out: body:/jquery|mootools|prototype/i 
order: date DESC
share: true

That would be a really useful feature!

I'd also like to be notified when people embed one of my articles in theirs: Once I discover someone sharing my article and it was awesome. And, also, I sometimes share other people's articles and I'd like the authors to know.

I really want the ability to filter the feed by post read time. I don't want to have to scroll past twenty 1min read posts to find actual content
