We're looking to develop a few Premium extensions for Flarum and wanna hear suggestions from you guys.

What extension / functionality would you like to see in Flarum?

    Video player, the video player will automatically generate a cover after the video is uploaded

    Justoverclock Reputation system (similar to stackoverflow)

    EvilExecutor

    This is also a planned feature for the new Automoderator extension 🙂

    askvortsov Metrics can be stored and used for other purposes. For example, a planned feature is combining all metrics to provide a "reputation" score.

    In terms of premium extensions (I will prob update list as I remember what my forum needs)

    • scheduled digests
    • advanced newsletters (html header/body/footer, scheduling, recipient lists, etc. This is different than above because the content is manually written, whereas a digest is automated and simply selects content based on criteria like top threads since your last visit, etc.)

          Here's my list:

          1. Similar thread suggestion
          2. Anonymous posting
          3. Single level threaded comment (like Evergreen)
          4. Reputation system
          5. Signature
          6. This is not an extension but Mobile app 🙁 (if possible I'm willinig to throw a couple hundred dollars in for this)

            An lscache extension for litespeed.

            User24 we already have a PWA extension, but we can't have notification on iOS like a native app 🙁

                huuduy216 oh, actually you can use that site to create a android .apk of your site. They call it TWA i don't know in depth though. Still they don't have any for iOS. ☹️

                  There is PWA, and there is Android apk, in here that is working. All you need to do is download android studio and twerk it to your needs. Such as icons and base url. Thats all. It is webview, but it kinda acts like an app.

                    • Link preview. Not using a third party service. So the extension would look for opengraph tags. If that fails it would scrape the site or at a minimum pull the title and description. All would then be stored in the database. I’m sure this isn’t easy, but, I have a WordPress site right now that does this. I didn’t create the link preview part. But, it’s obviously very possible and not resource intensive if done right.
                    • Default sort control. If you want all discussions to be ordered by most popular by default you could easily do so.
                    • Waiting room. Mimic what some link sharing sites do. New topics are in a waiting area. They only show on the main page once they have enough votes.
                    • BBCode manager. An extension that lets you manage custom BBCode from the admin. So you can create new BBCode and adjust existing ones. And/or, set certain BBCode for admin/mod use only. If another user tries to use a particular BBCode it doesn’t convert for them.
                    • Editor toolbar customizer
                    • Ajax chat
                    • Private message
                    • Fediverse
                    • Advanced Appearance. Extend the admin appearance page with more settings. Ability to easily change more colors, fonts, page width, etc.
                    • Security. Some type of extra security extension. Block IPs after so many failed log in attempts. Maybe a honeypot on login and registration forms? Any other security additions… even if some are easily circumvented by advanced hackers… I feel like any little challenge to increase security could be worth it. And certain existing extensions might do some of this… I don’t know… I’m just throwing out ideas.

                        010101 BBCode manager. An extension that lets you manage custom BBCode from the admin. So you can create new BBCode and adjust existing ones. And/or, set certain BBCode for admin/mod use only. If another user tries to use a particular BBCode it doesn’t convert for them.

                        Been thinking about this one since day one 😂 and then there's a smiley/emoticon manager that could prove to be useful for those that miss the olden days 😉 (TextFormatter has support for this btw)
