Archiving Button UI
When "unarchiving" an archived goal it sensibly moves back to active goals. The tooltip, however, is still "Archive". I suggest it should be e.g. "Restore" and the button could be a + instead of an X.

Let me email data without waiting for the bot
I'm trying to limit my consumption of something, but it's a bit of a pain to count it for a daily total or to go to the site each time I consume. If I could have an email address to send data to throughout the day, I could quickly and easily email the data each time I consume. It would probably be easiest to assign my account an email address, require the goal name (or url slug) as the subject, and do a quick day-amount-comment in the message.
Most of how Beeminder works looks great, and I look forward to…

Let me see my original graph even after I reset
I know the old data itself is still accessible but not the graph.

Put graphs not in use on a separate page
It feels cluttered and information overloady to have all my goals, including the ones I'm not tracking anymore, all on one page. Can we shunt off the inactive ones to an archive or vault so I don't have to look at my shameful past anymore?
11 votesUPDATE: This is now done!
https://twitter.com/beemuvi/status/144890706647982080Yeah, something like this is needed. I do it for my own goals using my god-like admin powers so clearly we should provide similar functionality for users!

Allow us to order the goals by size of buffer
Personally I'd find it very useful to be able to scan through all my goals in the order of how close I am to losing; so I can make sure to put effort into those ones which are most urgent.
It doesn't take too long to check through, so I wouldn't consider this urgent, but it would be a handy feature.
6 votesThis is how the gallery is sorted now, and you can customize it slightly by changing the panic threshold for goals. (The gallery is sorted by how imminent the panic thresholds are.)

Consistently order the graphs
Every time I load my page, the graphs are ordered differently. This means I have to hunt to find the right one - small inconvenience, but irritating nevertheless.
0 votesGraphs are ordered by urgency now, which you can tweak with the panic threshold setting.

let the tagtime users define which side of the YBR is the good one.
It should be an option at goal-creation time.
14 votesThe current way to set up a TagTime goal is to create it as a Custom goal.

Let me specify the fine print for a goal
When I create a goal, I'd like to be able to specify the details of what counts and what doesn't. The standard Beeminder Contract includes a "fine print" section, but there is nowhere to actually specify that fine print.
When creating the goal, I know what I want the fine print to be. Three months from now, when I will be tempted to weasel, it would be good to have a place which reminds me the rules I set for myself
7 votesAnd done! Currently in Advanced Settings. Thanks so much, Robin!

Have an option for sharing graphs without the numbers visible
-- i.e., if I want someone to be able to see my slope and whether I'm still on the road, but not my actual weight or whatever other number it is.
9 votesFinally did this, thanks to @chipmanaged! It’s in advanced settings (and available, though undocumented, in the API as “hidey”).

Provide visual indicators of which graphs have been updated that day
If one is juggling many beeminder graphs, it can be easy to forget if a graph has been updated for the day or not. Currently, checking a graph requires visiting the graph page, waiting for it to render, and then eyeballing the graph or the recent data as appropriate.
It would be lovely if—on the user's goal overview page—a visual indicator (such as a check-mark) appeared on graphs that have had data for that day already entered. This would allow the user to tell at a glance which graphs need tending.
4 votesOoh! We left you hanging on this – we totally do this now, with a check-mark, even!

Provide a Mac dashboard widget to show your graph so you can keep a better eye on your progress
(We, the cofounders, actually have an ugly version of this, so thought we'd offer to clean it up and make it available if there's demand for it.)

Goal Rate Radio Boxes
I find the Goal Rate radio boxes very confusing. Instead of X'ing the degree of freedom I want to exclude, I find it much more intuitive to select (click on the X) of the aspect(s) I want to include--even if that means I need to click twice (at present I need to click a lot more than twice :-)).
1 voteI think this was from an abominable previous version of the road dial. So I’ll mark this completed for now but definitely feel free to create more suggestions related to the current road dial if you have any. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Create a gmail plug-in
Beeminder already has Inbox goals, and I have friends with goals like "Send X emails of type Y" per day. Currently, these involve manually reporting to beeminder whenever an applicable e-mail has been sent, or the size of one's inbox when the beeminder reminder arrives.
It would be lovely for there to be a Gmail plug-in (which might actually be implemented as a Firefox plug-in), which allows automatic reporting of inbox size (for inbox goals), and presents a "this email relates to goal X" option when sending e-mail.
I seem to recall Google has published an API for client-side plug-in…
2 votesOh yeah! We did this a while back; sorry to leave you hanging :) Check out https://www.beeminder.com/gmailzero/ for totally automatic gmail ↔ beeminder integration.

Add "rate" to advanced settings
I really like the "rate" setting, but it's a little inconvenient to use if I want to extend my graph without changing it. First I have to go into settings and change the end date, then I have to go back to the main graph and enter the rate that was there before.
Obviously, this isn't too hard, but it becomes a serious problem with TagTime graphs, which hide everything below the graph, including the rate setting.
A quick fix might be to update TagTime graph behavior, but I would prefer the rate option to be made available in the…
0 votesNo need to go to advanced settings anymore. It’s all part of the road dial!

Provide a key for what the lines on the graph mean.
There is a red line and a grey line and it is not clear what they denote.

Instant Withings Scale Association
Allow users to paste their Withings data URL (available in the Share tab on the Withings site) into the "new data" box on Beeminder.

Let us pick our own start date
The one week delay before the ramp up begins is unnecessarily confusing, especially because the Beeminder bot still bugs me during that week.

Let me choose how much to put at risk (Less "trying", more committing)
It's currently free to start on a yellow brick road. If you go off you have to put $5 at risk to reset and try again. If you go off again then you have to put $10 at risk to try a third time. Then $30, then $90, etc.
Details at http://beeminder.com/money
But if you know from the start that 5 or 10 dollars isn't going to be very motivating, you should be able to jump straight to something that is.
This is one way in which stickK.com currently beats Beeminder: If you're gung ho to force yourself to shape…
6 votesYou can now commit anytime (i.e. without first losing) and jump up to a higher level on the fee schedule if you so choose. The fee schedule still sets the lower bound on how much you must commit if you drive off your road.
