Big List of Future Ideas

[ZzRanger]

Please list any and all feature ideas here. Will convert into issues if it's something we think we'll want to start working on in the near future.

Idea: Store credit grades as part of Credit object

Motivation: this would provide useful information to the student (i.e. GPA requirements for honors programs / scholarships, eligibility for fast track, flag courses that may need to be retaken, etc.)

Current blockers: we lack support for tracking GPA requirements, handling non-major requirements. We can consider this feature once we've built out functionality for that.

Idea: add color tagging for courses (similar to airtable).
Tbh not super sure about its usefulness, but people on the team liked the idea. Maybe user test & if people like we can build :)

I just realized….building schedule planner into Planner shouldn’t be that hard in theory right?
Cause all we have to do is pull data from coursebook
That would be a CRAZY experience; plan inside Planner then use a Chrome extension to export to coursebook?

Idea: add ability to import plan into editor

From Steph:

I feel like having both options could be good though? Maybe im misinterpreting but being able to upload credits after you’ve chosen a template is still a possible use case. For instance I want to add ap credits to an existing template I’ve chosen. Unless I’m misunderstanding hehe Or like u take it later after you’ve created a plan and want to add that but I guess u could do that manually too

From Kevin:

Should you be able to export/import plans as a file? oh wait nvm that would be weird if you imported a plan into a existing plan we could add it to the dashboard instead might be an after launch feature tho

New Plan Flow: potentially add ability to change starting & ending semester. Closed because 1) we already ask for that info in user profile and 2) could cause validation issues with import transcript. Can implement if we have a more compelling reason to do so from user tests.
