100% keep User Stats, Oracle Quests, and Quests in general!

I also echo that Bathhouse is important to me, I always always forget about it unless I can see it. Right now it's in my bookmarks but if they're being removed I'd love it to be on the sidebar somewhere.

Perhaps something to maintain a list of our own links? Like the Notepad (I assume... I don't actually use it) but we could pop in a link and a name / description and personalise our own links. Then I could keep Bathhouse, Ruffie Raffle, Ikumoradeekanox, all those types of once-a-day dailies I need to be reminded of.

I responded earlier and gave an overview of how I use Notepad, but here’s more specifics.

Holiday or short-term stuff This could be links to anything related the a current event that I want to be able to quickly access. Depends on the event. Forums, games, holiday achievements.

Currencies that I have near daily action on Sp bank Fragmentizer Link to shop search for humming power crystals Recycle beast Wiz token turn in

Achievements I’m actively working on that I need to be reminded of Snowtapult - usually only leave this one up during winter, but I’ve been lazy editing my notepad Snowball shop Hustler Blackheart hollow Token shop Subeautique Underground fishing Fishing Mind reader A main shop page to work on the 99 rarity restocking achi and ive named the link the only r99 item in the shop, so I know what to look for. When I was first working on books and gourmand, I’d put links to the shops here. I don’t need that anymore, but it’s part of the flexibility of reminding me where I want to put my energy and quickly getting me there.

Gourmand Link to the pools for appetite renewal during holidays Fresh and Flavorful when something new gets released - I usually remove this one and only add it back when needed.

Stat related stuff- this is to remind me of the places where I might get a stat that are dailies I wouldn’t normally remember to do or links to places to go when I have an item to use there. Coin machine Gym token Ikumoradeelanox Job agency Mage quests Zapper

Currencies that I don’t have daily action on For every other currency than the ones I listed separately above, I have one link to the shop search for it and another link to turn in the currency. The turn in is especially helpful at holiday time, when I am trying to buy something and get alerted my inventory is full. I can click the one link to deposit the currency that’s probably clogging it up and then just go right back to where I was without half a dozen clicks.

So, in short, it’s kind of like a to do list for me. I set priorities for the site, which can change from week to week or year to year and I use notepad to prompt me to tend to those and/or move me quickly around the site to those places. Subeta doesn’t always get a lot of my time, but I’m nowhere near ready to quit it. So when I only have five minutes to pop onto Subeta, I want to do my top priorities without a lot of clicks.

Also, on top of loving that you’re asking us about this, I’m thrilled to see how other people use Notepad and I’m definitely going to adopt some of these ideas while we’ve got this iteration. The customization is amazing.

My used ones are: -User Stats -Navigation (Could the logout button in this be moved to a better placement when you make a new version? On mobile it's hard to avoid clicking when trying to go to the news. Being able to customize what links/sections are in it would be good too because I find it a useful section but I only use a handful of them.) -Shop List (I'd love a way to select favourite shops to only see those (or have a second separate widget for favourite shops.) -Notepad (My notepad usually has extra links for quick navigation/battle pet related links, and occasionally during events I use it to make a link for dancing/etc with someone if they don't have a link anywhere on their profile.) -Quests -Oracle

Maybe a widget for quick pet healing, and another for pet incomes would be useful?

For the notepad it'd be great to have some easy way to style text within it. Maybe also being able to have multiple (though limited) notepad widgets could be cool to have them at different places on the list? I do hope the bookmarks stick around though because the most important links I like having right at the top of the page without taking over other important space but if we could have multiple notepad widgets (again within reason) they might be able to fulfill the same role! Additional functionality like ability to make check boxes could be helpful too for instance for goal tracking!

Similarly to other people here, I use the Notepad for holiday interactions. Not everyone I dance/kiss/flower/ToT for holidays are people on my friends list, so the notepad is the easiest way to keep an active link around for them! I also occasionally put achievements I'm going for there, though I'm less concerned about that as I could just as easily write that down on a note at my desk or a word document on my computer. I don't know the logistics of the notepad widget, so I understand if it's one that needs to be cut, but I really do like it and would love to see it carry to kumos if it's possible!

I bite for ... Angler, Bindi Bite, Blistered Hearts, Blood Rush, Brain Rot, Bright Bite, Bubble Jelly, Carchari, Crack Head, Death Slug, Death Worms, Dolly Dreadful, Doom Bloom, Fevermore, Lobster Face, Love Bug, Love Sucks, Muerte Fuerte, Pinkie Patch, All 2010, 2017, 2019-2026, and Vial strains

Going through my widgets one by one:

User Info I like to know how much Sp I have, but otherwise I use this almost exclusively as a quicklink to my vault or the my pets page. I guess the buffs thing is nice but I rarely take notice of it.

Battle Pet Primarily used as a way to see whether I need to check training or not, somehow I check this more reliably than my notifs which I habitually ignore. Also good for quicklinks as I'm bouncing around while battling.

Quests I use this as intended, I assume, in that I do my quests straight from these links, though honestly I usually only do 2-3 kinds and leave the rest so maybe if it were customizable it'd be better? Could add item hunt, as I have mine in my notepad.

Shop Search My goodness how would I get anywhere without this? 😂 Seriously, I love this guy, why am I doing so many shop searches.

Notepad Mine is just a list of dailies. A good list of dailies or a better reminder system for things like buying from hustler or ruffie raffle would replace this entirely for me.

Oracle I always miss my dang oracle notifs so I keep this one open.

I also have a list of bookmarks on the other side I'd love to just replace that AND my notepad with a customizable list of links I can cram into a box somewhere. I don't need a full nav bar, just my favorite places.

I don't use that many widgets, but the ones I DO use get a LOT of mileage. There's the userinfo widget, of course, for keeping track of currency and making sure I don't miss an extra wizard quest buff. Without the Oracle widget, I would miss at least two out of every three Oracle quests. There are so many times I just... never see the random event, so the widget has saved me MANY times. I have the quests widget; that's mostly just convenience of tracking completion, it's not actually something I absolutely RELY upon, though it is very handy. The real star of my sidebar is the notepad widget. I keep notes for all sorts of things in it; which color ruffie raffle ticket I last picked, which section of the pumpkin patch I last visited during Morostide, sometimes various timers for holidays/limited actions end up in there when I'm accessing Subeta from a mobile device, and there are several links to areas of the site I like to have quick access to (like the coin machine, which I find to be a nuisance to access the long way through the world map) or which can be hard to find (like Tempest when I accidentally move from a page with her random event on it). The largest part of my notepad, though, is holiday links. I have a spoiler for each one with the holiday actions to a handful of people in each. So if I were to request a widget, I suppose some sort of holiday widget would be the biggest QoL upgrade for me, especially if I could toss in a few usernames (including users outside my friends list) and have it populate with their holiday-specific actions.

Shop Search please!! I also regularly use these:

  • User/currency/active pet block
  • Friends online
  • Melody's Cottage
  • Avatar
  • Friend Feed

I would also find a bathhouse widget useful, and events (particularly if they can be split into categories, like Trick-Or-Treat/Dance/Forum/Custom Wear Shops/Mail, etc.

ooo that's looking good (and the auto updating sP is a neat addition!)

The sidebar widgets I need (well, the ones I use most regularly) are:

Melody's Cottage (ok, I admit that I keep that all year round, as the first year I tried to remove it & put it back in again in December, I realised it was a pain to try and reorder the widgets! :P) The Oracle User info (the section where you see your current on hand sP & CSC) Notepad (this one is essential, as it holds all my lazy links!!) Friends Online Battle Pet (an improvement would be if I could actually pick which pet features in this section, as currently it automatically takes my active pet) Shop Profits and finally, Quests (mainly for lazy links to the quest givers :P)

omg i love how many of you use the sidebar widget, and how in depth you use it.

i'm going to actually write up a blog post (externally) about this -- i'm fascinated and wonder how many other sites could benefit from just giving users a blank box to write whatever they want in, that persists to the sidebar/layout in some way.

Anyway -- this is all incredibly helpful. I'm 🤞 hoping to have a preview URL up today or tomorrow with a preview of the sidebar and the changes. Thank you all for your help!

Widgets I absolutely need on my sidebar are the quests one and the notepad one. The notepad one I use for quick links to dailies (high priority) and dancing/ToT/etc links during holidays (lower priority), so any widgets that could perform that same function would work if you’re against the notepad one (maybe a bookmarks widget could work instead.) I really do love the versatility of the notepad though, especially reading how others use it, and to be honest I don’t think I’ll end up using the new site much without it or something else that I can use for the same purpose.

I use the notepad to add actions of friends that may not be online at the time of an event, but I want to kiss them or throw a dance their way very easily so they can benefit from trinkets/hearts, etc. at a time they're very busy and cannot play as often as I can. Also, some of my friends like to hide (like me) and so I put them in my notepad as well :D

I will also toss my hat into the ring for a bathhouse widget!! I'm tired of forgetting :P

As for the rest, I use the main one, the friends online, quests, Oracle, Melody during Lumi, and search bar.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!
