Skool Needs These Features ASAP‼️

(All constructive criticism, Skool is a good platform/tool, but really needs these basic features)

Let me and Sam know in the comments which features you'd want most and if I've missed anything.

Different Paid Tiers Inside 1 Group:

Really not sure why this isn't already a feature since we can lock courses behind a pointswall, we should be able to lock them behind a paywall. We should be able to, for example, have a free tier, a mid level paid tier, and a high level paid tier where we can lock certain courses, categories, and even calendar events behind. Instead you have to make multiple separate groups, as in the case of Hamza's "Adonis Gang" and "Adonis School" where he puts all the headings of the Adonis School courses in Adonis Gang, but has to just say "You need an Adonis School membership for this." and then put a link to his paid group. When I first got on Skool and browsed around groups, I instinctively thought this was already a feature when I clicked on courses like the one I mentioned above. This just creates more steps and broods less incentive to spend money on the Skool website.

More Customizable Leaderboard:

Let us change the way points are assigned if we so wish by having for example, Amount of Times Posted in a Certain Category, or by Amount of Times Posted in which the Post Includes a Certain Word/Phrase, or like I've seen in other posts, allow us to assign points to a member, so that your score isn't just limited to how much time you spent scrolling and liking on Skool, but we could reward for doing certain real world tasks, meeting goals, or participating in group calls. (PS. This really needs to be changed. As I look around more through different groups, specifically many self-improvement groups, i see a lot of the same faces on the top of the leaderboard. I know we want people to spend money on Groups and interact with Skool, but we don't want people spending all their time commenting and liking to chase virtual points with no meaning instead of actually going out into the real world and implementing what they've learned in these groups)

Post Drafts:

Also as I'm writing this, as its quite a lengthy post, I've had to keep it open in a separate tab and Ctrl-A then copy it and paste in another tab search bar in case I accidentally delete the tab and lose all my writing. Would be nice to add that we can save post we're writing as drafts so we don't have to use my method or use a Google Doc to make sure we don't lose it all accidentally.

Saving Posts:

Add a button up beside "Watching" or in the Three Dots to save posts. Seperate your saved posts it by which community you're in or preferably a system like Meta apps where you can create your own group to save to.

Admin Settings:

I know, I know, I'm being a little bit nitpicky with these and should probably be using this time to work on my own group😂but as I am working on my group, in "Classroom", "Calendar",and "Leaderboard" their is no way to get to the Admin settings without clicking over to one of the other headings where you have your community side-blip with Settings under it. Would be nice to add just a regular settings gearwheel in the Page Header right under your profile pic inline with the group headings so that you could access them easily anytime if you're the admin of the group.

"Watching" Settings:

I personally find it very annoying that everytime I comment on a post, I get notifications when others comment on that same post, unless you manually click the "Watching" button after you comment. Add a simple toggle feature in Notifications to choose if we automatically want to "Watch" a post after we comment.

Bold, Italics, Underline:

As I'm writing this very post, I've noticed that you can't do any of the 3 main text keyboard shortcuts and there is no button to do so. This large post kinda meshes into one blob and I want to bold the individual feature requests. Would be a good, simple quality of life thing to add. (PS. I had it as bulleted items, but Ima change it to just an enter under the heading. Good idea to add a drop down bulleted and numbered list selector down by the emojis and stuff.)

Easy Cut:

Right about to post, I went to move around these suggestions in order of importance, and you can't just highlight a group of text, hold left click, and then drag to wherever you want on the post. Not sure if this is the case in all of the text editors(courses, modules, etc.) but would just be another good quality of life thing to add, so we don't have to copy paste everything around if we want to move it.

I'll go ahead and post this now since I'd like

@Sam Ovens

to see this and these changes implemented as soon as possible, but as I find more suggestions to add I'll make a Vol. 2

Which feature do you want most? Any suggestions of your own?
