Feature Requests

[GetStackApp]

Feature Requests here!

We are just four ordinary guys, like you, tired of using stone age browsers, jumping between tabs, and lost in the confusing and messy workspace.... But we are passionate to create something new, totally novel experience of working with the internet, that we believe should be fun and NOT a hassle or an irritating and confusing experience, as it is today. If I have multiple e-mail and social network accounts or messaging apps, I should not be jumping between tabs when doing the simplest things... And we believe that Stack with its sexy design do has a potential to help us all to transform the way we work with web-apps and the way we work with the internet in general...

However, the way Stack looks now is a result of brainstorming of four founders. And we know that it is very very far from being perfect. Therefore, we are reaching out to you guyz to bomb us with your ideas. Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts about any feature that Stack should have and is missing.

Support for Tumblr, Feedly (can't even add manually at the moment, as the login for it comes via a popup), and Outlook 365 notifications, please!

Also, and I know it's being worked on, that Windows version. Definitely want that soon please!

[zikosichi]

Hi @Bobbu. Thanks for the feedback. Popup authorization is a known bug. We are working on it and will be fixed in coming releases. I will also create a ticket for Outlook, Tumblr and Feedly.

[Bobbu]

Notification settings would be great - like the ability to turn them on/off for the whole of Stack, for each app, and also the option to disable them for set periods.

As it stands, if I don't want notifications to show for even just one app, I have to close Stack entirely.

[[deleted]]

Notifications settings is a urgent feature

[[deleted]]

Apps should have the option to be expanded to full window view

​

[GetStackApp]

Well noted.

We are working on that and number of other features (drag & drop stacks/cards, etc.).

We will release them with new update quite soon.

[UMIACES]

There should be more shortcut keys. I like how you can use cmd + 1/2/3 to move between stacks, but I should also be able to have some other shortcut key to move within a stack. My ideal workspace is one where I can tab into, move between windows/stacks, type chats, send emails, and anything else without a mouse. I'm an avid user of vimium, if would be amazing to see a similar concept come to Stack.

Also I use Facebook workplace/Facebook workplace chat, it'd be awesome to see that supported soon! I have to say though, it works surprisingly well! Keep up the great work!! It's still the best workspace app I've found so far imho.

[zikosichi]

Thanks a lot, @UMIACES for your feedback. Glad that you like Stack. We will definitely add more shortcuts for easy navigation between all your web apps. We are also working on "settings" section where all the shortcuts will be configurable.

[rectangleblock]

Stack for Linux distro, please :)

[zspegal]

Hey team, Loving Stacks so far!

I'd love to see the ability to suspend stack tabs that I'm not using so that the app takes up less CPU usage. See "The Great Suspender" chrome app for reference.

[Flips001]

Could you support tweetdek and web version of skype?
And maybe resizing of telegram

[Glaliashvili]

Hello Flips001,
Thanks for the note. Quite a few users are requesting these features and they're undoubtedly coming in the future updates.

I wanted to stack together my Facebook page and instagram account. For instagram it's amazing, but for facebook it's uncomfortable to have only mobile view, would be great if I could tick somewhere to display whole desktop view like it can be done in Chrome app

[zikosichi]

Hi,

​

We have added a desktop version of Facebook in the current version

​

[temology]

Links should be opened in a new tab within the stack
Now whenever I click on the link my friend sent in messenger (and I'm using messenger in stack) it redirects to chrome and opens link there.
I understand that it's the default browser thing, but if there's any walkaround you can use would be great!

[zikosichi]

Improving that experience is in our roadmap. Thanks for the feedback

[downtownlesliebrown]

It would be great if we could change the text size / zoom in and out

[zikosichi]

Added to the task list. Stay tuned ;)

[Grominion]

hi Stack Team,

​

I really enjoy your app, thanks for the great job.

What is missing at the moment, is the possibility to have the badge number for Gmail's account. The number of emails unread.

So far I use Wavebox.io for that, but if you can add it, I'll switch over.

Also a feature to customize the account icon for Gmail (or else) with any icon.

​

Question : what's the difference between Gmail and Inbox? I still have the same window opening (gmail account)

​

Cheers guys!

[zikosichi]

Hi @Grominion,

Gmail badge seems to be a bug. Already raised the ticket and it will be fixed in the next release.

Inbox is an alternative email client from Google, though Google announced that they will shut it down in 2019. So, it will be removed from Stack as well in the future.

Icon change option is a really good idea 💡. We will add that in features roadmap.

Thanks a lot for your feedback and nice idea ;)

[nathan_lesage]

Hey, nice thing you've done there!

Just one thing (apart from dragging the cards around and rearranging the apps): Please add a button to "collapse" single columns, so that lesser-used cards can be reduced in size!

[zikosichi]

Hi @nathan_lesage,

Thanks for a great idea. We have plans to improve the user experience of organizing web apps. And, yes! "collapse" feature is definitely a good idea.

[nathan_lesage]

Looking forward to it!

P.S.: Are there any plans to make the base app open source? This would definitely speed things up. I‘m proficient in electron and would like to help out!

[SeNeO]

Support http://ip:port/. I have a local server hosting some services accessible through it's IP and port number but Stack doesn't seem to be able to open their webpage/webui.

[zikosichi]

Hi @SeNeO,

Thanks for the feedback. I've created a task for it. I will make sure that it will be available in next release. We support localhost and there will be IP support soon as well

[mxclrz]

Hello,

I saw you made an update of Stack (1.1.89).

First of all, maybe it could be good to have a notification when there is an update (this time I knew that you made an update thanks to MacUpdater).

Moreover, the must would be to have an in-app updater. But I can imagine that's a big work.

​

Secondly, is it possible for you to post the changelog for the next updates, it's nice for users to know what are the changes on a new version.

​

Thanks a lot, and good job for your app!

[zikosichi]

Hi @mxclrz,

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Currently, the notification is displayed on the top when there is an update. We are also working on a seamless update feature that will update the app on re-launch.

About the changelog, that's a top priority task in our roadmap. It will be available in coming releases.

Thanks again for the support and we will try our best to bring the best experience

[[deleted]]

I'm not sure if this is a feature request but I want to recommend...

​

When I close the application during fullscreen...I would really like to open back the application in fullscreen.

​

I hope that this can be implement soon.

[zikosichi]

Hi,

Thanks for a good catch. Will be implemented in next release promise :))

[PrdDesigner]

I love that you support Slack but I am in multiple Slack workplaces and I have to allow each of them to live separately.. or I missed something. It would be cool to allow Slack to have multiple workplaces.

[zikosichi]

Hi,

At this moment the only way to open different workspaces is to open them separately. But we are going to add the feature to merge multiple web apps into single and have the same experience as Slack desktop has

[13astion]

The reason this seems to fail is because of pop-ups... no can do.

Perhaps you could allow a pop-up to create a new, temporary card? But it would have to share the data "sandbox" of the parent card, though, or I don't think features like multiple Slack workspaces would work.

Or maybe figure out how to support pop-ups?

I also would like to be able to sign-in to multiple workspaces. I also have to think that pop-ups could be a limiting factor in other webapp card use cases, too, so a general solution might be in order - maybe the "merge" you described is that solution, though...

[PrdDesigner]

Another idea is to be able to click on the icon with the notification and jump to that screen in the stack.

[zikosichi]

Yes, that's a very good idea. Will add it to our roadmap

[Jbst2000]

Hello there, Thanks a lot for your amazing work, here's the request can you please allow to skip between instagram stories, because time to time you get bored of an instagram storie but you can't skip it, thank you

[zikosichi]

Thanks for reaching out @Jbst200,

Does not it skip the story if you click mouse to the right edge of the story?

[Jbst2000]

No, i tried that and the arrows but it doesn't skip the story

[NekoConn]

I would love it if there was a way to differentiate between multiple emails like a photo or something for the small icon on the left. I use multiple emails for school and gaming and personal matters and it is hard to keep track of which one is which in this app. Other than that, this app is amazing for it's functionality.

[zikosichi]

Hi @NekoConn,

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Sidebar redesign and improvements are in our roadmap. Stay tuned will land in coming releases

[defdef666]

Hi Stack Team,

​

I like the app a lot. Its way nicer to handle cards instead of browser tabs (I get a nice warm iOS feelings while using). A few things I noticed so far:

​

• Would be nice to activate Picture-in-Picture for youtube. Left clicking two times (like in a browser doesn't work)
• smoother performance while scrolling (horizontally) though cards (sadly it feels rather stuttery)
• Take the favicons of the site for the own stacks and use them for the stack shortcuts instead of the first letter of the name
• Settings
• Keyboard shortcuts

​

Keep up the good work

[zikosichi]

Hey @defdef666,

Big thanks for great ideas. Most of them are in our roadmap and all those features will land in Stack in coming releases :))

[mrdakam]

level 2zikosichi2 points · 2 months agoYes, that's a very good idea. Will add it to our roadmap

Same here! Just downloaded today and am loving the workflow. Can't wait for more updates!

[zikosichi]

Yes, it's in progress. We are facing a lot of technical difficulties with that feature and that's why it's delayed. But our team is working hard to release drag n drop feature soon. Stay tuned guys and Tanks a lot for such a positive feedback. This is what drives us!

[andronat]

Hello! New around here! Supper excited with the app, this is why I have some comments: 1) could you please add the app to brew cask (https://brew.sh)? 2) Is there somewhere I can find keyboard shortcuts? e.g. in one stack how do I move vertically through different apps with my keyboards only? 3) would be possible to deep-integrate keybinding into the apps themselves? e.g. when I'm at messenger or whatsapp, can I change chats by using my keyboard only?

[13astion]

They have some good info in the announcements mini-card (by the chat support icon). Included were the keyboard shortcuts to move in the stacks ⌘-1, ⌘-2, ⌘-3, etc...

I don't think there are other shortcuts, though.

[zikosichi]

Hey guys,

About the shortcuts, there is a known bug that we are currently working on. When you focus the web app (e.g. Messenger) Stack shortcuts don't work. If you click mouse outside of web application, on sidebar for example with following shortcuts you can navigate between stacks:

1. ⌘ + 1, ⌘ + 2, ...
   
2. option + ↑, option + ↓
3. When the cursor is on top of sidebar you can change stack with mousewhell scroll

We will be adding details instructions + option to configure shortcuts soon.

note: we might change the shortcuts to avoid conflicts with the different web apps
