Create an rss or atom feed as you add new features
When working inside of Gearset, it often alerts you to changes that have been recently made. It would be nice to have these as a separate, consumable, feed. We have a slack channel that we would like to pipe those changes to, for instance.

enumerate unsupported metadata in Manage Custom Filters
In Manage Custom Filters dialog, Gearset should link to
a) https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_unsupported_types.htm
b) a Gearset list of Metadata API-supported but not yet GS-supported metadata typessaves devops person wondering why certain metadata can't be deployed

Add functionality to select the changes in the component for the deployment.
I think it will be very helpful to have a possibility to deploy only some selected changes in the modified component.

Enhance the deployment history search functionality
When trying to gather packages together to combine them for a release, currently it is not possible to first limit by a text search then expand the date range (search hangs due to number of retrievals)
Could there be a way to enhance the history search to enable easier searching?

Allow retrying failed validations and deployments
I'm often running into the situation where the validation failed either due to transient circumstances in the org, or due to the org settings being incorrectly configured. In this scenario, I would like to simply retry the validation using the same package, and I'd look for that option somewhere here:
https://app.gearset.com/deployments/validations
Running a new comparison (using the "clone package" option) is unnecessary, takes a lot of time. Also using the "view comparison" option is overkill. I would rather not go through those motions of recalling the comparison results from cache, going through the analysis once again, etc. Because I know…

Clean up source/destination drop downs to be consistent across all UI elements.
The drop down lists for picking source/destination are different in the UI.
For example, in compare and deploy production salesforce connections are not in the list alphanumerically, they are appended to the bottom while in a clone deployment they are all listed alphanumerically.
Just being picky, but consistency one way or another would be great.

Problem analysers - to ignore the user config element
On metadata deployments, I frequently struggle with Report Folders, Workflow Updates, and other configuration elements that have individual users assigned to them. The struggle is that individual users assigned to these config elements often do not exist in the target org. This results in the entire deployment failing, and many times, manually configuring the report, report folder, etc.
A nice solution to this would be a new section on the Problem analysis screen that allows me to exclude the users from the config element that is being deployed.
It is useful to call these scenarios out, because I need to…

Optional ability to provide a warning when targeting a deployment to a Non-Developer Production Instance
I'd love to be able to have an extra "warning" message when targeting certain orgs when clicking the "Deploy" button. The thought is that it provides an extra level of confirmation when targeting production, to help avoid mistakes. This could be an optional custom warning message set on a connection that if populated, a "Deployment Confirmation Message" is shown.

Validation Failures - Show Error in Table
In the new UI for Validation to view failed test classes error messages you must click into each failed class to view the details.
The previous UI showed "part" of the error message within the table. This was extremely useful in identifying all of the "unique" errors that are occurring.
IE: If 58 test classes fail from "4" unique issues -- then in order to determine that you may need to click into all 58 test classes or fix one at a time --> refresh --> validate.
This is just a time save feature.

Show history of changes for a component
When performing forensic analysis regarding how or why something started working differently, it would be a great timesaver to be able to select a component and then be able to select the data comparisons for just that component. For example, select an apex class and then pick date dates so the system can display what changed. I would expect that this would be quicker than going into Monitoring Histories and picking each date and waiting for it to build the entire comparison of everything that changed and then having to find the component of interest.
A follow on to this…

Remind repo owner to upgrade metadata on SFDC version change
Your blog post https://gearset.com/blog/mdapi-versioning-and-version-control says it all under the paragraph labeled "Upgradingyour repository's metadata"
But there's no real reminder to tell the team that this is a meritorious idea. My suggestion is that for the first 30 days after PROD is updated, you could display (in color) some alert (or maybe introduce a messages feature) wherein you tell the team that the repo's package.xml is out of date (version wise) with PROD version and provide pointers on how to upgrade, including nuances like Flows (v44).
It is too easy to get lazy and leave the repo metadata out of date…

Enable Defaults or Recently Used on Clone Deployment Page
When you clone a deployment package you have to select your Source details, but the selections do not default to the the last used settings or to a recently/commonly used settings. This is a minor annoyance but in other parts of GS you have the last selected options already selected based on user history, so hoping you can extend this to the Clone page

Export snapshot of production org to git
I'd like to be able to export a snapshot of all the metadata from my production org (include all components) to my git repository by clicking a single button.
After every release, it's worth taking whole metadata export from the org to git for the next/on-going releases.
For now, we have to create a couple of metadata projects to export the metadata to git, which is a tedious job and takes a lot of time.

Ability to set a friendly name to the package
Should it be possible to set an equivalent of "friendly name" in Gearset but one that can also be spread to Saleforfce.

Add system log fields for created and updated operations for filters
It will be helpful if we know who/when a filter is changed. And it would be great if we could lock the filters as an owner.

When running "Compare and Deploy", or via a similar mechanism, allow the target to be a local zip
In rarer situations where I need to make some manual adjustments to the metadata XML for a deployment, I'd like to be able to download the metadata to adjust it. Today you need to go through a compare, and at the end, you can download the package, but this can be problematic, since you have to choose the target org, there need to be differences, etc.
Instead, it would be useful to just choose the source org, select the metadata items, and save the package, without a target org needed.

Pending Validation - Copy from Pending Deployment
Similar to "Pending Deployments" It would be nice to see pending validations. We have several users in gearset, so if we are trying to validate something while someone has already initiated a validation, we receive the error that set up has been locked. So prior to validating a package, it would be great to check if anyone is in the process.

Test run details: show failed tests tab first
When user clicks on test run details, Gearset defaults to the successes tab. But no one clicks on test Run details to see successes; they want to see failures. Default tab should be failures, especially if non-zero
Saves user a click and supports DWIM - "do what I mean" when clicking Test Run Details

More Details for Open Draft Deployments: Show Name & Refresh Date
When you open a Draft Deployment it would be great to see its name on the deployment page as well as its refresh date. I understand that when you open a draft deployment you're seeing a snapshot from when it was created or refreshed.
