New features - what should we build?

We’d love to hear what features you would love to see SALT build next! This could be an extension to one of our existing features or something completely new 🌞 We will be reviewing every suggestion so this is a great opportunity to help shape the future of the app 💪

Part 3/2 😂 - Allow longer messages. 😉 These are just small UX improvements, but I consider them more valuable than any new features. I’d even be willing to contribute to the app, as I’m a developer.

Part 2/2 - The voice memos should have a pause function and also allow scrolling while in record mode, to see (and maybe even listen to) the messages while recording a voice memo. - I assume many people accidentally open Salt Social when they try to get back to the profile, because it’s expected that the main feature of an app is also placed in the middle icon of the bottom navigation.

I think offering many features is less important than having the available features work properly. I’d wish for the existing features to be improved. - Scrolling to the bottom should not hide the like/nope buttons. - When trying to scroll down, while already being at the bottom, accidentally opens the last picture, if I started the scroll gesture on that picture. Part 1/2

I have a couple of suggestions about the searching and visibility preferences, is this the only way to share it or do you have another contact?

Hi , There are a lot of men on my page who are hidden from me because I can't see them, they want to contact me, but I can't open their photos. I wish it was possible. Thank you :)

1. Higher character limit in the first field on your profile or another more general field. 2. A way of knowing if you fall outside of someone’s age or distance range.

An online speed dating invitation to be arranged (for anyone who registers), for guys and gals to be paired off in a breakout area for a brief chat. Just as IRL but online?

@David thanks for the question. It would be great to have a way to politely respond to an intro without having to match with the intro sender. You could call it your "ghostbuster" feature.

I’m relatively new haven’t had a good look as yet, I’d like someone to explain please 🙏🏽 When I joined I could see likes and the fact that there’s no one in my area so no real point in paying premium imo 🥴 I can see 2 blurred likes now - I’m thinking they’re from afar 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Sharon The blurred likes are just a part of being none-premium. You are guaranteed to see anybody who has liked you in your feed at some point, but if you want to see them sooner, you need to pay for premium. The same goes for the list of people you've seen recently. They will become blurred after a while unless you have a premium account. Hope this helps! 😊

@Toby @ thanks I appreciate the explanation. Just seems a waste of $ as I know there’s not many, if any locally - age, location being nature on Gold Coast Australia etc

Add the option when unmatching someone "this person matched with me but didn't respond", as it seems to be a common occurrence on here. Then if an account gets unmatched for this reason multiple times, SALT staff could investigate why perhaps?

I appreciate you asking this, and keeping this subject refreshed lately; likewise, I'm hopeful you'll continue to do it for a month for a more thorough look. I'd like to suggest a table talk or two on it, too. Though I've never joined one, I'd be interested in this. Some people though have suggested, at least on the other post things which would be extremely difficult to implement. I think it would be important to narrow down a list, and then let people vote on those narrowed down items.

Possibly also explaining why certain features may not be implemented. Example: editing post, while I've made plenty of mistakes I'd like to alter. Without it showing that it was edited, what was changed, etc; more issues for the moderators and

A lot of existing things are still quite buggy in Salt. And I don't know if other people have these issues, but for example typing replies is difficult because the box keeps bouncing up and down. No idea if it's an android thing? Also when someone replies to your comment, you have to search through the post to find it instead of the app taking you directly there.

1. A forum section specialised for respectful discussion. 2. An edit button for posts and comments. 3. An unblock option after blocking someone. 4. An option to have all of your account data removed when deleting your Salt account, including posts and comments.
