What features do you think asktug should have in the future?
Our community can continuously optimize and become what it is today because of the companionship of TiDBers. We have walked through the past together and are experiencing the present. At this moment, I want to talk to TiDBers about the future of asktug. When browsing asktug, have you ever had a sudden moment of regret, thinking, “Oh, it would be great if this feature existed”? Now is the time to voice those thoughts!
We want to know what each TiDBer thinks is the most essential feature that asktug should have in the future and how this idea was triggered.

Is it possible to have a TiDB test environment?
Virtual machine-mounted online experimental sandbox. Used for virtual deployment experiments.
Similar to a scam script. Some answers I want to save for future reference, so when I encounter similar questions, I can just flip through the script and send it out. However, this script shouldn’t be too official, or rather, it should allow for a personal script. If it’s too official, individuals won’t be able to check it at any time. The official version can extract and organize the good parts.
Or directly list all the solution answers. Currently, only a part is listed, and some older ones can’t be found.
Another thing, sometimes some answers are saved by others, but I don’t know which answers have been saved. There’s no place to check.
Here is a recommended feature:
Set your own tags, and subscribe to certain information or categories you are interested in.
Then, based on dimensions such as category, access count, and timeline, you can set subscription information to achieve internal post pushing (convenient for collection and maintenance ). PS: Collections also need to support custom categories, otherwise, it will be hard to find when there are many collections.
It would be best to also provide SSR subscriptions and email push notifications.
There is a free TiDB Cloud.
I’ll go take a look, thanks
When asking a question and selecting tags and question types while submitting a case, the next step is to set some questions to further confirm the information. After that, recommend related solution documents. This can improve the scope of localization and increase efficiency (providing error codes, and the system recommends related documents based on the error codes).
It would be best to have image and document extraction capabilities, as many questions are screenshots or documents that cannot be searched.
Can we have a mobile version, an H5 version would also be fine.
Enhance the search functionality, it’s still a bit weak. A powerful search engine dedicated to TiDB is worth having.
Add a module for common issues and solutions in the production environment.
ASK is like a big family where everyone works together to do a good job with the database.
