For the Miami Dade College experiences. We're trying to populate the marketplcae with more projects on this category to match with MDC. Having this category added would allow us to better understand the project availability, build trust with MDC team by showing to them that we're willing to explore this category and make space for more related experiences to flourish.

Hey everyone, I've been thinking, wouldn't it be cool if we could add emojis to our experience descriptions (and projects)? 🎉 Is that something we can do? I believe it could really add some flair and make the content more engaging. Let me know what you think! 🌟

Request from an educator: Can we connect existing comm software to Riipen? eg. could we integrate Slack or Teams as a comm channel in Riipen

I really love the new badges btw! But I think their meaning can be not obvious to everyone. My suggestion is to add a little badge description and display it when the user hovers the mouse cursor over it. Or maybe a little pop screen could appear when the user clicks on it. Thank you.

As an employer, If I delete my membership from the current company, I should be redirect to another one of my companies. Currently my page is just refreshed which then leads to a bunch of issues as I can no longer access the company or any of the links on the page.

The ability to create automated messages is very useful, especially when users are going on vacation. But close to the vacation date they could forget about Riipen given all the other cool things coming their way. I think if we could add the timeline for the automated messages so users could set them up ahead of time, that would help them to streamline the communication even further.

I had calls with employers who showed interested in collaborating with a particular school or even a particular educator. When the experience is yet not created on the platform, they'd need to be checking from time to time on the school page or educator page to see if the desired experience is live. What if we create a notification bell that would allow users to be notified when a new experience is created under a particular school or educator profile? I think the educators could also benefit from this if they have the ability to be notified when a project from a company they are interested in is made available. For the project notification can be tricky thou because a project can be closed and reopen, so not necessarily it has to be newly created. But if the interested educator could be then notified when the project is reopened and created as well, that could be useful. PS: I see a stronger demand from the employer side (wanting to know when an experience is posted). From the educator side, that could be more like a good to have and less prioritized as well if you need to choose between one or the other.

Allow selection of multiple messages at a time in the inbox to perform bulk actions such as archiving. It is tedious to have to do this one by one especially if an educator has multiple messages

On the experience wizard, there's an option to upload videos and images. We don't have a way of displaying PDFs in a carousel so I would like to request a feature for a “Files” tab on the experience page in a similar way to how we have the “Files” tab on project pages so that educators can upload important PDFs or other files the employers can review while matchmaking.

Bring back formatting options for messages (e.g., embed link, add bullets) to facilitate better conversations
