{"ops":[{"insert":"Excellent work as usual! With all the recent changes, is there a particular road map that you are taking the site to? \n\n1) While I keep a \"trade\" deck and a \"want\" deck, I have others asking if I have something in my collection. Is there plans to allow the user the ability to share their collection in a link as well? \n\n2) Any plans to allow a \"scan\" to the mobile app? \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"No official roadmap as things change so quickly that it wouldn't be a good use of time making one. We make a lot of our choices off of feature voting, forums, and our discord to try to always be building what users want most vs what \"needs\" to get done, and that can change pretty fast sometimes. \n\nWe're working on deck versions now that should be next. \n\nThen some order of these and the things that should be in the very near future. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"color":"var(--color)"},"insert":"- Rework how ads work since our current ad provider is allowing rouge ads (with sound, or larger than they're supposed to be) to sneak through. "},{"insert":"\n- Redo text mode on the deck page. The current one is terrible.\n- Collaborative brewing, so you can brew with a friend on the same deck at the same time. \n\nAfter those are done, the current plan is either rewrite collections, or the playtester (not sure which yet)\n\nWe'll likely allow for public collections in that collection refactor. \n\nAs for the scanning feature, no plans to do anything like that as of now. There are so many other apps that do that already, and we're not sure what we could bring to the table to improve on them. Perhaps a tighter integration with one of the existing apps or something, who knows. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Multiselect is great! Please, please, please consider adding \"add to collection\" to the multi-select menu. \nI use this amazing site to brew and build real paper decks. Marking cards in collection is a huge asset when figuring out what I still need to buy/trade for. When you select a single card and it opens up you can add it to your collection. BUT, if you use the arrow in the open window to go to the next card you cannot add it to your collection. A pop-up will say added but it doesn't actually add it or mark the card with a green corner. You have to back out and individually select each card as you go. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This was actually part of the the plan from the start, but we're gonna need to update an endpoint to support bulk adding to collections in that way. Shouldn't be too much work, I just didn't want to hold up the whole release for it. \n\nAs for rotating through the cards that sounds like a bug, I'll put it on my stuff to look over. Thanks for the heads up!\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"AMAZING Update! Keep up the amazing work. Archidekt is by far the best site for MTG deck building/collection tracking IMO. The constant updates and listening to the community is top notch!\n\nThings I'd love to see\nA way to view the cards in my deck side by side instead of stacked. Even if this was a separate window, like play testing is I think it'd be a nice option. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A way to favorite a deck so it will always show at the top of the list of my decks. On top of having my physical decks on here I also have many WIP decks so it would be nice to have instant access to decks that I mark as favorite. "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A settings feature that automatically shows a version of a card you own as default when searching for cards. I very much enjoy the features that make it easy for me to know which version of a card I own but to have it default to a random version of the card I own when I search for it would be a nice little touch! Maybe even as an added touch whenever I add cards via text, if I add the cards using just the names and not the version code, the system would add a version of a card I own. I am sure this would be very tricky though!"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A way to scan cards using my computers webcam. I mentioned this in a comment below as well but gosh would that be a game changing feature. I don't know of any way to scan my cards using my computer, everything single card scanning is an app on my phone. I feel the potential for a very polished and overall better card scanning system could be possible being able to utilize a computers power rather than a phone. Hell, I'd even download an entire separate program just to have this. If this already exists, please let me know! "},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"}]}
