Lightbulb What *new* features do you want?

Ok... so I started this thread with a simple question...

I had my ideas, and with the great response from the community, they were pretty much verified.

With over 70 request I locked this thread for the time being. You can vote on the top 10 here.

Features were ranked based off how many individuals request them. Also, I consolidated "similar" feature request. The tally is to the left of the request.

Furthermore just to be absolutely clear, this list is by no means a promise that SnapStream will work on your feature now, or in the near future. This could be due to several reasons including resources, legal, technical, and the fact that this is not truly "scientific" data.

Thanks,
-Brett
