Koala Go

🥫𝙴👍🏾The importance of Canny to Koala Go

For some time now the Koala team has been subtly guiding us toward Canny for suggesting changes or upgrades to Koala Go. You may have noticed, I will admit that I did not get the clue right away, lol.

Now I have finally seen the light. If you go and look at Canny and compare that to the list of new features implemented by Koala. You will see that the highest rated items on Canny are the ones that got implemented.

Why does this matter? 

This means that the development of Koala Go is a very democratic affair. We get what we (as a group) ask for. We (as a group) need to start asking for the right things, for example:

I might be one of the biggest fans of pets and I’m looking forward to see how they develop, but for the community as a whole we might have been better off with a scheduling system instead. Don’t get me wrong, we can have both, but think about your priorities, because programmer resources are limited.

As an experiment, I propose that everyone who reads this and wants to play hide-and-seek in Playground go to Canny, make an account, and upvote that item. Even if you are not a fan of hide-and-seek do it anyway to be a part of the experiment, and have your Canny account ready to upvote other projects. So watch Fred’s excellent video on signing up and using Canny.

Then click the link below to easily upvote Hide-and-Seek, Thank you!

Hide-and-seek is a low-hanging fruit that has been hanging there for a long time. It sounds like it’s almost ready, but hasn’t been pushed across the finish line yet. If it were to be top rated on Canny I think we would see it very soon.
