IDEAS 2.0 – Coming Soon Sep 21, 2020

Zach X. , Sep 21, 2020 :

Hi everyone,

IDEAS is our most ambitious co-creation campaign to date. During our Beta trial, and over the course of 2 months, we invited you to submit OxygenOS feature requests and the response couldn't have been more positive – over 5,000 submissions and tens of thousands of discussions were raised. We were flooded by your passion for OxygenOS.

Meanwhile, we also worked tirelessly to collect feedback on how to improve the IDEAS campaign itself. After reading through your comments, weeks of internal discussions, days and nights of tweaks and refinements, IDEAS 2.0 is now around the corner!

What's new
With the new and improved IDEAS 2.0, we aim to address some of the most common feedback we got from users and the product team.

• A more robust voting system
  One piece of feedback we received from both the users and the product team was that "likes" alone weren't a good metric to judge ideas. For IDEAS 2.0, we're introducing two improvements – a dislike option, so that the product team knows if a specific request is polarizing, and the ability to provide additional feedback on why you decided to vote as you did. This will provide a better picture of what Community thinks about a specific idea~.
• Guiding users through ideation
  How you structure an idea is as important, if not more, as having it in the first place. During the beta stage, there were many entries that were "I want x feature" or "I need y on my phone". While this gives us a rough idea of what you want, it doesn't help us (or others reading your entry) understand the how and the why.

​

• An improved IDEAS landing page
  We also worked on improving the landing page so that it's easier to use, while also providing more information on what the current status of an idea is. We also added a new option that allows you to get email notifications for replies to your ideas, as well as how well your entry is doing

We want your help!
We received a lot of feedback from our users immediately after making the platform live, so, this time, we're inviting our core Community to help us test the platform before making its official debut.

If you want to help us test the IDEAS platform, let us know in the comments below why do you feel like you're the right fit for the job. During the next 24 hours, we'll select up to 20 users to join our internal testing, based on their post and their overall participation on the forums.
