If SoloLearn was Open Source, what features would you develop to contribute to this platform?

Question

Whether you're a beginner or a pro, we all love SoloLearn 😍, what new features would you like to see/develop?

I personally would like to add more interactivity to it with coding games/animations (not just challenges), for example a 2D game that triggers specific actions on players or on the scenery when you type in the correct code 😊

Answer 1

I would also wish that they open a new section to learn countries languages. I would ever imagine challenges types:
Fill to laugh in spanish:
"¡____jaja!"

Fill to laugh in french:
"__ha__!"

Fill to laugh in mandarin:
"哈__!"

...that would be great :D

Answer 2

Bringing from my old forums:

- Reputation (Cookies) system, for other users to review you.
- Quoting system, which will be useful for 'reply to a reply' situation.
- Pictures in thread post and replies, to enable users to post pictures to properly describe their questions. (Option to turn off picture display in settings too)
- Stemming from third suggestion, better mod tools to effectively remove inappropriate content.
- Guild system with team challenges.
- Global chatrooms and guild chatrooms.
- SoloLearn Café (Where people can participate in challenges without XP gain nor XP loss, and trashtalk about the questions)

Answer 3

expand code playground capacity and advance interaction involving user input.

Answer 4

@Thanh yeah, I like those! 👌 Like a single player PRACTICE MODE for challenges 👍
(with questions already approved by SoloLearn because the Quiz Factory is full of crazy stuff sometimes haha)

Answer 5

and no bot.
just advance AI that look like bot and designed specially for me. (Name it Catbot)

Answer 6

@Geoffrey hahahahaha *marked as best answer*😂😂😂 you know, actually, there's this app called "Babbel" that has this type of challenges for different languages 😜

Answer 7

chat requests are commmmming
i can feel it @_@

Answer 8

"A platform for coders made by its own coder community"

Yeah, I love that! 👏

Answer 9

A bot torturer!

Answer 10

More Advance Search Query like stackoverflow

Answer 11

@Geoffrey 😱 hahaha très bon :P👍

Answer 12

actually this would be an interesting feature: a github repository for SoloLearn webapp.
It would become a platform for coders by the coders themselves...

Answer 13

i would develop different chat lobbies where people speak their own language

Answer 14

The ability to:
- quote and/or
- mention someone (if you @someUser, then that someUser will get a notification)
- integrate videos and gifs or animated images into soloLearn lectures in order to explain more complicated concepts.
- chat functions
- at the end of a challenge you get a list of those questions you haven't answered correctly so you can find out the answers later (note: I'm not saying that soloLearn should provide the answers to the question but the user himself should have the opportunity to inspect the questions afterwards in order to learn from his mistakes)
- a way to save difficult question and then challenge ONESELF with that question, i.e. no challenge modus with others but being able to check these questions with one self.

Answer 15

A visible count down in the chalenges. Or some kind of notification for the both users if time is about to run out.

Answer 16

Maybe a list of starter program ideas such as the Ideas Bag app on the play store. Sometimes its not enough to know how a language is constructed, People need to learn by solving real world problems or being told to program a specific solution for a given problem.
