Idea for Marketplace

I find myself constantly looking at the Marketplace to see if specific apps or plugins have been updated as I anxiously await a 4.x version of several of them (hint hint).

I've been using follow topic as a way to check, but I was wondering if a "favorite" or "bookmark" type feature in the Store app would be helpful. Not unlike Amazon's Wish List. Just a thought.

May I suggest you avail yourself of the new activity stream?  You can create a custom stream just for new files.  The best you can do is to create a stream for unread new files.  Although you can follow old files and see their updates, those files will have a new name for 4.0 so you'll have to refollow so not really what you want but let me try to make a new stream now ...

Name of New Stream: New Files I Needed Yesterday

Show Me:  Content items only 

Tags: classifieds (since the entire ips community is waiting for the classifieds application, I'll use that as an example)

Content Type: Marketplace ... click gear icon to the right, use the Narrow by to select the categories you are interested which for me means ctrl click on translations, member extensions, and translations.

Read Status:  Content I haven't read (because I am looking for newly released files not ones that have already been released)

Ownership: Everything

Follow Status: Everthing

Time Period: Since my last visit

 

Okay, that should do it.  And that guy named after an angel said this new stream feature is a useless piece of garbage .... hmph!

Oh, and here is a display of my custom streams, ready and waiting for me to search for me, my way, because even though the super admins think they know what is best for me as a member of this community ... I am the most important person and therefore I want everything served just to my tastes ... which is just what Lindy ordered ... it's like having my own personally made papal slippers waiting for me as I slip out of bed . :)

i like this idea, instead to show "most viewed" or "most downloaded/purchase" the wishlist(what i would like to buy) or favorite/bookmark could express the appeal for specific type of product and "expose it" to other clients.excluding items that them self have already bought and filter them by category if possible., sort item by date (descending, last added to first bookmarked)

ahah  @ipsrocks that just shows that the notices that the board gives us can cause confusion. It would be far better to just give us an error 404 for a wrong or dead link than say "that page is not available for your account". It made me think differently other than broken link. Be great if they could sort out all the error or notification messages a bit better.
