Ask HN: Features you miss
I would like you to share features you feel are missing in apps you use everyday. I mean the ones that you feel that are crucial.
This is intended to be a way to share knowledge and maybe gather ideas for future projects from HN folks. Here are a few I can think of, not all are necessarily things that I miss, but people do miss it. - Gmail old style compose/reply dialog - Windows 7 had a search everything feature, now windows 8 has search by App/Files/Settings - Github used to have a downloads tab for you to upload binaries associated with your code. - Internet Explorer 9 supported extensions (via plugins), IE 10 is plugin free (although a step forward) doesn't have any customizability (no potential ad-block / vimium) - Twitter List functionality (it wasn't implemented well but it was useful to help separate your stream). - OneNote- Older versions of OneNote had OCR functionality, newer ones don't, one of the reasons I prefer Evernote - Gmail's compose is different now. While you compose a message you can, check email. That's cool. - I acknowledge that OCR functionality is very important and many products miss it. Thnak you samir The Compose functionality is quite nice, but not when you do mailing lists, where bottom-posting works best. The new UI makes that painful. Simplicity. Many apps are missing simplicity of use, simplicity of design, and simplicity of features. Could you name a few apps please?
