Notification on new store reviews
There have been times when users have reported issues with skills via store reviews. It would be handy if we could get email notifications when new reviews are piblished against our skills in the store

Developer Page/Profile in Alexa Skill Store
It would be great to have a "Developer page" in the skill store, like a profile that lists all skills that this developer has published.
I.e. make the name of the developer clickable in the skill store and show all skills that this person/company has published.

Alexa user “friendly”
Alexa should listen briefly after a task is given and satisfied to hear if user says “thanks” and have Alexa always automatically respond “Your welcome” to support its user “friendly” interaction 😁

Improved deeplinks and analytics for mobile web user acquisition
There aren't good options for linking users to a skill for mobile devices on the web.
- On desktop platforms, it makes sense to link to amazon.com/db/<product id>. The user is likely to be signed-in, and the user can enable to skill in one tap.
However, on mobile web, all of the options are suboptimal:
On iOS, Linking to the amazon product link first opens the amazon app, and then the amazon app redirects the user to safari where it opens the link. I suspect that most users aren't signed-in on the web browser.
On iOS, Linking the user to the…

Allow Publishing Skills to a Limited Group of Users
I have a skill that I recently developed for my niece's 12th birthday. I wrote it as a joke as it displays her picture, tells some trivial facts about her like taking hours to do her homework and ultimately wishes her "Happy Birthday". It is definitely not a skill I would publish to the general public. However, I would like to make it available to my sister's family and a few cousins. Other than the "Beta" feature, there is no way to publish a skill that can be made available to a limited/restricted audience. I have seen quite a few…

Skills Discoverability
The skill discoverability is problematic. There should be a way to install the app by just asking "Alexa open Skill" or if the user asks a question that may be answered by a skill alexa should suggest to use that skill and automatically install it. This doesn't seem to be the case.

Enabling a skill to link to a good on the Amazon retail store (either 1P or 3P)
It would be great if you could build a skill and link it back to the Amazon retail store to goods. For example, how to do I fix my leaky faucet? Then it could go through the ways to fix the faucet, and enable to user to buy the parts or a new faucet, wrench, etc.

Allow Markdown for Descriptions
At the moment we can only write descriptions in plain text. It would be nice to be able to use markdown to better format the descriptions.

Embedd Skill
I'd wish you could provide a (html) standard-sample to embedd alexa skills into webpages (like a social-media button) to link to them in a standard format.

Skill-Update-Notes
I'd really like it if you could add a possibility to add update notes when you update your skill. Some skills do this in their description, but this should not be part of a skills descriptions.

Extra information for the skills store by Amazon
Would be nice to allow custom parameters in permission.
User would be able from the skill section in its alexa app to enter a specific parameter ( let say (iota address) which is an 81 character parameter .
the alexa skills would be able to use it's value and this will be secured by amazon.
available for more details :

mandatory columns in Annotation Set
In Annotation Set page, when you don't add an 'expected intent' it says 'internal error'. Isin't easier to just add a checkmark next to the mandatory fields or columns. This is part of testing and feedback.

Contact User for Rating & Review
User feedback is important to skill developer, very often rating and review can't tell all the details. If developer can contact customers for necessary details, that'll be amazing for both developers and users, which is actually a basic function on app store.
