Number of reviews by Moderator

This week we had 9 contributions and 8 have a chance of being rewarded, or have already been rewarded by Utopian.
The average score has increased a little bit, but it is still not great.
This week we had almost the same number of contributions than the previous one. We know that 9 contributions per week are not a lot, but compared to previous weeks/months it is almost double. I am sure that we are going up.
Most of the reviews of this week were made by @syedumair, and we had the pleasure to have a contribution reviewed by the great @amosbastian.
We did not have a Staff Pick this week but I am sure that we will have one over the month.
The Round 4 of the contest started right now! And we have good news for you!

Remember that upvotes are never guaranteed.

Disclaimer: The prize is taken from my personal account. This is an unofficial contest. It is only for the Suggestions category. You must not complain to Utopian about this contest. If something is wrong with the points, or if the rules are not clear, you should write to me, not to Utopian.


Common mistakes and how to fix them


source

The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.

1 - Contributions with a score of 50 or less

1.1 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low

If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.

1.2 - The possible solution was not described in sufficient detail

When you propose a new feature, it is great if you add a possible solution although this is not mandatory. Explain how to implement it.
You can add a pseudo code script with your possible solution and detail in which file it should be added.
If you do not know how to code, you can explain in details how this new feature should works. Where should be implemented? In which component of the app? In what position? Why is that a good position for that feature? What happens if you click on it?
Mockups are useful. Edit your images, try to follow the pattern design of the app. For example, if the app use Material Design, try to follow the rules of Material Design and add Icons which are listed in their site. Do not paste a random image/icon that you found on Google.


Interesting open source projects

In this post, as is usually the case with your weekly reports, you succeed in adding value beyond the numbers. Your reports have been very useful to me in finding ways to improve my own reports, and I appreciate that a lot. Common mistakes may well become a feature in the Blog category once I finish giving all the tips I can think of.

Please note that while I haven't changed the footer, I am not scoring #iamutopian posts based on the questionnaire. They have their own metric, and that will be the case until we go live with the new guidelines and new questionnaire, which will be comprehensive enough to reflect these types of posts.

Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

To view those questions and the relevant answers related to your post, click here.
