LJ features not in Dreamwidth

Some features LJ has aren't going to be available in Dreamwidth, at least at launch. Some of these will never be put into Dreamwidth while others are just too difficult for now but will be added later. You may also wish to see the Dreamwidth_changes_from_LJ changes from LiveJournal page which lists things that have been added or changes, as well as those which have been removed.

S1 Journal Style System

Maintaining and documenting S1 is a lot of work that we would rather put into updating and fixing the newer S2 system. This will never be available on Dreamwidth.

Scrapbook Photo Hosting

This is absent for technical reasons; we hope to eventually add our own photo hosting service with better integration and usability.

Todo Lists

This never came out of beta on LiveJournal and has not been used much. If we add something similar it will be re-written with better integration and usability.

Phone Posts

We hope to add the phone posting ability some day but would have to re-write it from scratch and negotiate contracts with each country's phone providers which is difficult and expensive.

TxtLJ

We're in the same situation with this as phone posts.

Snap.com previews

This won't be added - we generally think it's better off dead. People who like them can install Snap.com's technology on their browser anyway.

Singles

We're not in the business of getting Brad laid. (and sadly it never worked for the rest of us)

LiveJournal.app iPhone/iPod Touch Client

It's not available to us. Potential replacements include ShoZu and BlogPress if they allow you to specify a URL to post to.

Nudge

Nudge is the work of the devil and has been removed with great glee on the part of our developers.
