We get feedback from Telegram, Discord, Twitter, even email, and after speaking with the OP team, I wanted to start this thread as as a place for people to drop in feedback about Agora. Specifically we would love feedback around:
New features you would love to see
Useability and improvement suggestions
Bugs or trouble you are having
Our commitment is to monitor this thread and make sure that your feedback is being heard and acted on, or for us to follow up for more clarity.
Appreciate the amazing community members that make the votes and the governance process at OP so great. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your efforts so far. I have two suggestions for improvements that could enhance the user experience:
It would be great to have notifications for new proposals that need voting, as well as alerts for when proposals are nearing their expiration.
Additionally, it would be helpful if clicking on a delegate could bring up a graph and a ranking of their delegation. This feature would make it easier to track changes in their status, such as if they have dropped out of the top 100. Something similar to Curiaās:
What would your prefered medium be for the notifications? We currently email notifications we are using with ENS and Uniswap but havenāt turned them on for Optimism yet. Curious if email would be enough?
This is great feedback, adding it to our roadmap to explore. The ability to keep, and rank delegates is something we have talked about for sure.
Thanks for this feedback! We have gone back and forth on this, it can look weird when you render it in that card and we ended up turning that off here, but you are saying it just looks broken? Feedback taken, will circle this with the design team.
I think we can do this, instead of showing ###, ** and other MarkDown Format symbols on the card, which is a bit cluttered, we can just have all English words, donāt you think?
GM!
Thank you for opening this thread, and congratulations on the platform; itās so key to our governance.
Iād like to add a couple of comments on feedback about the filters that exist to view delegates.
First, starting from the simplest, I think it would be great if these filters already created could be used to allow visibility on the other side of the spectrum. That is, to be able to see the delegates with the āmost voting powerā, as well as with the āleast voting powerā (or with fewer delegators).
And to that I would add adding new filters. The most obvious:
Most recent/old delegates
Most active/inactive delegates
Bonus: filter by forum score or other criteria based on the quality of engagement.
In general terms, I think that increasing the diversity of filters promotes the visibility of other delegates, avoiding the concentration of power in those who already have it.
@Agora@kent I just wanted to highlight that with the recent āoptimisticā vote (where voting wasnāt required except in the case of voting against), all delegates now have a voting participation score of 90% or less, except those who voted against that upgrade.
I think itās clear that we should ignore optimistic votes in participation scores. Thanks!
GM! Thank you for this feedback and this is a great addition that we could definitely add.
And to your question, no, there is no good reason we donāt have these. Typically people focus on the top folks and I think itās a great idea to focus on the bottom folks too. I will get back to you once we have implemented this!
Michael! Always great to get feedback from you.
Yes, thatās a great idea and is clearly just a bug that we will fix up quick. Appreciate you reporting it.
Easier than ever to delegate: The goal is to always increase the votable supply for the Optimism community and to that end, if you are not delegated, you will get a nice Delegation Banner to prompt you to do so.
Better sorting and filtering: Itās easier than ever to sort and filter delegates based on new criteria
Most voting power
Least voting power
Most most delegation
Oldest delegation
And more
Super Fast Participation Rates and Filters: Our Voter page is 2X faster than before and participation rates load instantly. Lots of exciting enhacements in the backend we will share more about soon.
Keep the feedback coming, and thanks @alexsotodigital for their feedback that led us to completely rebuild this feature and make it better than ever!
Itās great to see feedback being not only heard but turned into real improvements. The new filtering and sorting options are super helpful.
Considering the good receptivity, Iād love to suggest one more filter that could be valuable: ā100% voting activity + non-top100 delegates.ā
In fact, it might be worth considering making this the ādefault viewā (instead of ārandomā) when visiting the voters page.
IMO, that could help to:
Encourage further decentralization of delegate-voting-power,
Increase the overall vote pool (incentivizing new delegates by giving them more visibility)
Of course, I understand if the current random default has benefits I might be missing. Just wanted to share the idea in case it helps advance the spirit of active, distributed participation.
