I am creating this thread to start posting some updates or sometimes may solicit some feedback for the upcoming Brickpicker v4.0 update. Progress as been somewhat slow, but continuous for a while. It's funny that I just read the the post by Nathan over @ Rebrickable who just launched his 3rd update of the site.

Quote

For the last year I have been working hard on completely rebuilding Rebrickable from scratch. I estimated it would take me a year, secretly thinking I could probably do it faster. Of course, I seriously underestimated the effort required. 5 years of adding features and tweaking things on Rebrickable adds up to a significant amount of functionality that needed to be rebuilt. There were several times when I considered abandoning the attempt.

Kudos to him. I feel the exact same way. Actually, I think all developers are just a little bit nuts when it comes to expectations and timelines.

This is not going to be an in-depth post, just a kickstarter post to give me a place to where I can go to to share my thoughts and ideas as well as to gather some from all of you.  You may have noticed my new graphic on the forum index that will allow you to post ideas, members can vote on them and feedback can be given.  Its a cool service that allow you to build a roadmap and integrate it with project management software.  The past two years I have learned to use lots of fun tool at my 9-5 job (like Jira), and I have learned to become a less chaotic engineer.

Anyhow, here is a small bullet list of things to expect with v4.0:

• Site redesign.  Everything will finally all look like its part of the same site. 
• Price guide and Brickfolio overall
• Yes, sold sets will finally be there
• Multiple brickfolios for those that have personal and business
• Lots more data to do your own analysis on your collection
• Full syncing with Brickset/Rebrickable (instead of just the import only feature that is currently there)
• Brick Classifieds will be brought into Brickpicker.  (probably my most hated thing I did was create a separate site)
• There will be a premium offering (more info will be released at a later time).

There is much more to announce, but I am not ready to go into details until I actually can show a few things.  There is no ETA announcement just yet.  I will say it will be sooner rather than later, but not ready to commit to date.  I want to make sure I will be able to hit and there is still work and QA to do.

Anyhow, thats what I have for now. Again, feel free to leave some ideas for other members to read, vote on and see if it can be added into the initial release or we can add it to the roadmap for future release.  More to come....

That was the first thing I tried but its not doing anything for me (Firefox on PC). Notifications also have become anonymous "someone gave you reputation on .... " vs the earlier "xxxx liked your post on .....".

All good on Safari and Edge ;-)

LOL - we now know who our friends and enemies are.

Windows 7 / Chrome (PC at work) --> working fine. 

Delete.

The ability to edit/delete post (ourselves) would be nice. Some times the app populates the post 2 times. Or you want to go in and update a post but it's been to long.

Assuming these updates have not taken place on the app yet. I use the app 90% of the time.

Am I the only one that thinks the up-downs colors should be reversed. A like or heart would be red, no?

Yes, you might be the only one.

no.  Green = Good....Red = Bad, but i do know what you are saying.  I can make them yellow and purple if you want.

Yes, you might be the only one.

And here I thought that down arrow would never come in handy...[emoji6]
