Dakota, thanks for your input. There is definitely a long list of features we'd like to add, as you might imagine. Naturally, the direction of our site will depend entirely on how the community embraces it. We're anticipating two main areas of focus: open sharing and private project management. Ideally, we'd like to support both, and likely we will down the line. But first, because we want to support the open nature of the DIYBio community, we decided to focus on just making it really easy for users to share data. So we made big buttons for "Create a Project" and quick, minimal upload and view features. Moving ahead, the next challenge is to focus on making that data beautiful. There's a lot of potential in viewing data in an interactive format. Our design experience is limited right now, but we're learning quickly.
-- As you said, there's a lot of project management tools out there for scientists already. Right now there is the option to make a project private and you can use Nucleus solely for keeping track of projects. Again, we wanted to focus on sharing at first, so more robust project management features are still to come, for both public and private projects. For example, we're working on integrating Markdown and LaTex support for a dedicated protocol tab to accompany the data.

When you get back to your computer, I hope you'll upload some data and get to try it out in more detail. Thanks!

I'm on my phone now so cant be really type well but, I guess I'd approach it from a scientists perspwctive. There are 100 project management platforms out thetr. Make yours unique and geared towards data, pictures and graphs, and maybe a lab notebook type setup. Idk. It'd also be cool to add a feature that would allow people to get points or a thumbs up type of recognition for having a protocol that works. In science repeatability is key, so a way to give a tip of the hat that someone has used your experiment and it worked would be cool
