Lists Of Bests should let listmakers add descriptions to the individual items 1 cheer

List of Bests is very minimal right now. While I like that, I think that letting people add entries to each item on the list would be nice.

For instance, if I make a list of Ten Favorite Books, letting me describe precisely WHY they’re my favorites might make them more useful for other people browsing my profile. Explanations could be saved as AllConsuming items, so it would be useful to purveyors of either site.

Should do this

I think this is definitely something that belongs in AllConsuming, and it’s already implemented there. The real issue would be having the ability to create posts for AllConsuming items directly from within the corresponding entries in ListOfBests lists, right? I guess it’s just a matter of semantics, but I think it’s an important distinction for the purpose of explaining to others and to the Robots exactly what’s intended here.

Good idea if you ask me!



Should do this

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Let people link AllConsuming entries to their lists, or create them on-the-fly from ListsOfBests (stored in AC, of course). That way it becomes a much more useful tool without really getting any more complex.
