Loomio

Feature request - page through polls / discussions / etc.

A newish feature (I think) is the ability to quickly page to the top or bottom of the poll with some buttons top right.

Just as useful (or more, imho) would be L-R buttons that would take you to the next or previous poll (or discussion, if you're in that section).

At the moment, you have to exit the poll you're viewing, view the list of all polls, and then choose the one you want (which is often the very next one). I find this cognitively less smooth than "I am in the polls, let me riffle through them". It's also relatively hard to keep track of which one you've seen, if you need to view all of them in sequence.

I don't know if this is the place for feature requests - pls lmk if not, and I'll move it. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, @Edward Bainton. I guess the Next or Previous thread (which could be either a Discussion or Poll) would depend on the list from which you chose your current thread.

I mean, if you clicked a thread from the Dashboard and belong to multple groups, then the next thread would be next in the list from the dashboard.

I've long thought Loomio was missing a thread sidebar. So if you click a thread from the dashboard, then the list of threads from the dashboard moves into the sidebar.. kind of like an email client.

Then it would be obvious which is the next thread.
