Uploading from a GitHub repo in the alexa developer console is tedious
You would think it would be far easier to grab a project from GitHub in the alexa developer console like one button that opens to enter the git url.
Currently these are the steps
Open alexa developer console
Name the skill
There is Create Skill Button top right.
Then again there are other options
Choose a model with seven boxes
Choose a method with three boxes
Ignore all those choices
Press [ Create Skill ]
Next page
Choose a template and 10 more boxes to ignore if you want to import from GitHub
On this page are two boxes top…

Stream music from local NAS or DLNA as a default streaming option
Allow you to set a local device on your network (eg a NAS or a DLNA server) as a default music streaming device for Alexa. So when you ask it to "Alexa, play Green Day" it will play it from your local music library. This will be well-received by the great many Alexa users who have large CD libraries and would prefer to use those instead of a subscription service like Apple Music.

Energy consumption & production devices support
Native support for devices that are able to return energy consumption and production. In addition to being able to display the information within Alexa, this will allow for certain automations based of energy usage. Eg. Turn off porch light if energy consumed within the past 12hrs = X. Turn on washing machine when energy production = X. etc...

Allow Flash Briefing listeners to report feed errors without leaving 1-star reviews
Hi,
I really think Flash Briefing listeners should have the ability/option to report a feed error/issue. Currently, there is no way to do that.When I had a feed error on my Flash Briefing, I only found out via 1-star reviews left on my briefing. Since the reviews don't show up until a day later, I didn't know until well after the fact that there was a feed issue for some listeners.
My Flash Briefing went from a perfect 5.0 rating to a 3.2 rating because 4 straight listeners left 1-star reviews. All they wanted to do was share that…

Ask Alexa what's its MAC address and What its IP address are so I don't have to look in the APP
It would be great if I could just ask the echo for what it's MAC or IP address were without going into the APP.

allow creation of Home Content panes
On an Echo Show it's possible to add reactive skills that add capabilities in response to spoken instructions, but it would be neat to be able to develop (either as a packagable skill and/or user defined blueprint) additional panes for the Home Content carousel ... for instance I'd like to display a 2 day agenda that merges everything on my work and personal calendar, or displays the most recent aircraft spotted from my FR24 tracker...
Panes could point to an external webpage which delivers a transparent background content, with cache/timeout settings so it doesn't poll too often...

Add option to allow routine to immediately continue after any action
When you add a Music routine without specifying a length, you effectively halt the routine, no actions after that will run. I don't know if there are other actions that do this. If there were an checkbox or something in each action to "Allow routine to immediately continue" after the current action starts, this would fix the issue. Thanks, have a great day.

Access to raw speach-to-text input
I am creating a skill that needs to work in a mix mode environment: One that takes advantage of Alexa's natural language engine (slots/intents) and one that allows me to handle raw user input as text. Could it be possible to integrate "Amazon Transcribe" with Alexa to achieve this? I have implemented a work around using dynamic entities but the processing time makes the transaction too slow and impractical as an app.

Schedule skill performance reports
While viewing your skills metrics/analytics there should be a one click button after viewing the data to schedule that report for daily /weekly stats or summary to auto run. Which would then emAil you the scheduled report each morning to your aws associated email.

Have reviewers receive notification if their review receives a comment
Currently, users can leave reviews for a skill. Someone, such as the developer, can respond in a comment. But the person who left a review is not notified about the comment. Those who leave reviews should also be alerted when people (such as the creator of the skill) responds to the comment.
I had all 5-star reviews for my skill, which is a flash briefing. Then there was a feed issue for a few days, and some users left 1-star reviews, citing the feed issue. They said they would return/update when it got fixed.
I commented to these people in…

APL video "loading" and/or "loaded" event(s)
APL video "loaded" event to enable showing a screen before a video has fully loaded so that the user is aware that the media is still loading. e.g., "Loading..." Right now, APL only has events for after the video has started playing. This is too late to elegantly switch from a "loading" screen to the video.

Choosing which endpoint to hit in dev console test
As everyone knows, it is possible to assign regional endpoints in dev console for skill, but testing them is really time consuming, because routing is very inconsistent. Even if I am from UK sometimes requests go to US.
Another issue is making sure that all endpoints work. Only way I found to test them consistently is by switching default endpoint, with other regional endpoints to get consistent results, which takes a lot of time.
My suggestion would be, that at least in the dev console, it would be possible to not only pick locale, when testing the skill, but also…

Code error check before deploy
It would greatly help if the Deploy button, under the Code tab, could check and warn if there were any code errors before deploying the lambda code. Right now I can deploy code with error or even an empty js file. Ideally, the Deploy operation should fail or stop with a good message.
