    Hmm What I would like to see is maybe some live chats. When I look at the Nothing Community page and the Nothing discord page and what I really like about the discord page is the ability to just chat instantly with other Nothing Fans and users. Thats what I’m really missing on the Community page. Thats probably why I believe some of us prefer the discord page. So if there is a way to possibly add live chats under a few categories that would mirror Discords sections then I think that would really get a lot of users to move over and prefer the Community Page more. Just my thoughts 🙂

    Love this idea!

    From forums I’ve been on previously, I find that rewarding users really helps to make you feel like your contributions are worthwhile and helps to boost engagement. Some kind of ranking system that could work by combining number of posts/comments (low weight), number of likes received (high weight) and number of accepted answers (highest weight) would be nice. You could have a widget to show the most active members of the community and/or perhaps a daily/weekly/monthly/all time leaderboard.

    I’d also like to see the return of some kind of badge system like we had previously. It’s nice to be able to show off what products I own and perhaps gain badges for attending events (in person and online), winning competitions, excellent contributions and could tie in with the ranking system with badges rewarded for certain contribution milestones.

    I wish there was an application for the phone. It would also be good if there were more surveys where community users can participate or some way to help with the products. If there was a live chat with staff members to share ideas and opinions

    It would be nice to conduct community events, blogs, articles and also give gifts to winners…

    Excellent initiative!

    1. I would love it if there was a chat box that popped up offering help and solutions to basic troubleshoot problems faced by users instead of having them post on the Nothing Wall. And as an extension, a connect to customer care service through this chat window if the query is beyond its scope of answering.
    2. An official link from the Nothing team which tells the latest updates on its individual products and its features and probably the release date for each region (if applicable). Helps the user stay excited for the updates instead of just casually discovering it on their phones.
    3. A personal profile which can be more customizable -with a cover picture and stuff.. kinda helps us want to keep coming back to check on our page and thereby keep us informed about updates.

    I really hope to get that Nothing merch!

    Natalie ✨ the community is already one of the best i have ever seen and interacted with although i wish nothing had more interactive sessions on discord with the members and i would also like to see a separate server for CMF By nothing products as more products are added to the portfolio🤗

    Android & iOS app for nothing community
    Background differentiation for post comment and reply
    Dark Mode support
    Colour code for mentions, reply & tags

    The community right now lacks the share feature for sharing each comment or posts indivually
    I wish we get this option soon. It will be easier for us to share our own or our friend’s here at community’s posts to our other friends

      I think discord account integration with any community is a necessity in today’s date. It will also help with notifications of our “favorited” threads through discord bots straight into our discord inbox.

      A special feature for users that integrate their discord accounts with their nothing accounts could be the provision of software updates of our nothing devices directly in our discord inbox.

      But yeah, the possibilities are endless and discord is a front runner in forming a community so its power can be leveraged here.

      Natalie ✨ I’d definitely love to see an app version for this community! It’s so nice to just talk to people who share the same ideas and thoughts about these products, but having an app version with notifications, maybe a widget, would really make life easier to interact with the Nothing community!

      As a Generation Nothing member, I’d recommend the following features;

      1. Discussion Forums: Create a space for members to engage in meaningful discussions and share ideas.

      2. User Profiles: Allow members to create profiles to personalize their experience and build connections.

      3. Events Calendar: Enable the scheduling and promotion of community events, such as webinars and meetups.

      4. Resource Library: Share valuable content like articles, videos, and guides relevant to your community’s interests.

      5. Private Messaging: Facilitate direct communication between members for networking and collaboration.

      6. Gamification: Implement a point system or badges to incentivize participation and contribution.

      7. Analytics: Provide insights into member engagement and content performance to guide improvements.

      I’d love to see a future Nothing platform that focuses on fostering engagement but also offers deeply integrated collaboration tools between Nothing and Nothing’s community members to bring us all closer together. 

      The platform MUST be user-friendly with intuitive navigation, navigation that’s as clean and buttery smooth as navigating NothingOS.  Speaking of NothingOS, an App with a host of customizable widgets for said community app is an absolute must have, further enabling the community to engage.  The app will need to be responsive and must work across multiple mobile operating systems ensuring community members who may not yet own a Nothing device, can take part and feel equally included.

      Fully customizable user profiles that have interactive widgets and avatars would be cool.  Customizable bios, links, etc. are important too so members can express themselves. 

      Some members have already mentioned this but a gamification system with badges/rankings, as well as maybe even a streak system similar to Discord, would really drive engagement across the platform but also would highlight active members that new members could trust as they signup for the community.  It would also be a great way for Nothing to reward community members further encouraging participation in Nothing campaigns etc..

      Real time messaging built within the platform, along with privatized direct messaging would really elevate the overall experience.  Understandably so, real time messaging is quite difficult and not as easy to moderate but it would move many from the Discord to the Nothing platform and it may be necessary in really brining the entire community to the Nothing Community platform, as many of us engage on Discord because it’s real time, easily accessible, familiar to many, and available across multiple devices with rather great moderation in place. 

      Tools for content creation and easily sharing images and video content specific to highlighting Nothing products throughout the community while providing an outlet for the creative community members out there to share their work.

      Powerful search and discovery is an absolute must have as well.  As community members we often refer others to the current community or the Discord when they’re experiencing issues with a Nothing product for example.  Typically our go to response is please search the Discord/community.  Powerful search functionality will help the community members find topics and content easily.  Tag systems for tagging and appropriately categorizing content will help organize the content and in some ways help self moderate content shared when leveraging predetermined set tags. 

      Community member analytics / private summary page to understand the users engagement and overall impact on the platform can help community members see a summary of their content and understand their overall engagement insights. 

      Accessibility features utilizing many of the accessibility mobile web standards so all users can easily access and take part in the community.

      An easily accessible feature / tool where members can provide consistent feedback where Nothing admins can also regularly share updates to the community platform.  Maybe even through the ranking system noted above, create a top 10 community member “board” that helps speak for the community in live community feedback sessions held on a regular basis that all community members can join, similar to the great community updates shared on Nothing products. 

      Just a few ideas that quickly came to mind this morning, now time for more coffee☕! I love seeing all the feedback here already and I can’t wait to see the Nothing Community continue to grow and expand.  Looking forward to what’s to come!!!

      I would love an Android / IOS application for the Community and here are some points that i would love to have it here:

      Dark Mode 😅

      Community Members -Generated Content Showcase: Allow community members to showcase their creations or customizations related to Nothing products. This could include custom cases, accessories, or even software modifications.

      Community Challenges and Contests: Organize regular challenges and contests related to Nothing products or tech-related themes. This can ignite creativity, build excitement, and foster a competitive yet friendly environment.

      User Groups and Clubs: Allow users to form interest-based groups or clubs within the community to connect with like-minded individuals, whether for professional networking, hobby sharing, or support.

      Natalie ✨ what i really love is a Ear1/2 eq preset sharing community or apps or website which suits best and please made this community website public i mean more user friendly share as much as you can hype it up and even possible made an apps especially for community. And 1 more request please make nothing watch official from your site not thru CMF and i still got a better idea made nothing official store website/apps which we can buy directly from it. And even interface with banking so customer can buy using emi and much more. That’s all for now this got so many idea’s. Peace and ✌️

      Thanks @Natalie ✨ for organising this Contest. Would be my first participation on the Nothing Community, i believe.

      I’ve been a part of many Communities in the last 20 years or so. So I’ll try and share my insights and ideas, as much as I can.

      1. Make the Community Platform more ‘Mobile Friendly’, as most of the users access the Community or their favourite platforms, mostly on their mobile devices.

      2. There should be a Bar at the Top with 5-6 (or more) options which can be named as "Home, Groups, Contests, Messages/Notifications, Events, FAQ’s, AFH (Ask For Help), Regions, etc. Now these options on the top bar should stay on top the entire time, so that users can shuffle to their desired page/sections quickly.

      3. Faster upload for photographs etc. I understand that Nothing Community is in the process of being built, solid.

      4. Option to make our Profile page more personalised and should have all the records of our threads, comments, posts etc, incase a user ever needs to access any of them.

      5. Have an option to sort the comments in “Latest, Earliest, Oldest” order. Easier to sort through the comments sometimes, on threads which a user is following.

      6. Make the Dialogue boxes or buttons in each page, thread, more user friendly. Like I just realised on an article by Natalie, that on top there is a Star Sign which means I can chose to follow the thread if: a) Not following - be notified only when @mentioned. b) following - be notified of all replies, c) ignoring - never be notified. Hide from the discussion list. Now this feature is so nice and I really like the simplicity of it.

      7. Keeping in mind my 6th point, may be there can be a “How to - Guideline” explaining all features of the Nothing Community, would be great.

      8. IMPORTANT Suggestion: Can we have an option, by any chance, of having a live radio in the background ? There can be a Radio Sign/button which a user can toggle on/off as per their needs, but would be great to spend time on the Community, while listening to the same music, as other users. This way, we will always have something common to talk about ?
