Bringing Kapuno alive, next steps.

Originally published on Kapuno in the Ensuring Happiness on Kapuno community

Over the last week, we’ve brought on many friends and prior members from our testing period. We’ve also welcomed new members who’ve stumbled upon our communities from social networks and Google.

Based on the feedback we’ve seen a few major product features we’re designing that we’d love member’s feedback.

1.) Improving the publishing experience by allowing members to draft and edit conversations prior to posting.

2.) Surfacing activity happening across members’ communities. We’ll begin to push all activity across the site to members home page so they’re able to jump in to active conversations, see how members are reacting to their conversations, and understand which communities are launching.

3.) Creating email summaries to include digests of activity in communities. Members will be able to opt out of summaries.

We’d love to hear what you’re thinking about where we are now or our near-term roadmap.

It feels pretty hard to get a sense of what is what, like a mishmash of prismatic news, quora conversations and google+ link sharing.  I don’t think I get it yet.

Thanks Simon. We haven’t really activated any communities yet, which is what should clarify the value. We’re on-boarding friends and invites to gather feedback on the welcome process.

The Tech community was opened as a demonstration and, as you may have noticed, we’re contributing most of the content.

If you haven’t read the “Getting Started” conversation (http://kapuno.com/conversation/ao4r27aaaaioa) I’d recommend you start there.

Also, if there are specific features that are confusing or you think would be helpful feel free to add it in the product feedback community: http://kapuno.com/community/aolffsyaabt6o

Also, there doesn’t seem to be any dates or times on the feed, that is a little weird?And the feed is narrow (physically, pixel-wise).

Cyrus Radfar (November 14, 2012)

In simplifying the feed we lowered the priority of the dates so they are visible when you hover the conversation or on via conversation page. So this was actually a recent change.

With respect to being narrow, again, we actually narrowed the feed to make it easier to scan. What size screen are you viewing the product?

The font here is very hard to read. I would change it to something more standard.

Thanks for the feedback John. You a typeography wizard? If so, what would you recommend.
