Steemit.com: a much needed upgrade!

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Steemit is migrating from an english content only blockchain social network into a multilingual social network at full speed.

Tags like tags.png are nowadays part of the featured tags on the front page.

Whales and dolphins like @pharesim, @val, @silversteem, @clayop, @nextgencrypto, @berniesanders, @knozaki2015, @shaka, @razvanelulmarin, @greenwayoflife, @jasonstaggers are contributing to reward non-english content in several ways.

One such cool initiative is the Proyecto Cervantes part of the larger Project Curie aimed at curating spanish content.

So users are posting in many languages, contributing to a real global reach of steem, but steemit.com frontend looks like this:

I think it's time for @dantheman and @ned to prioritize the development of a steemit.com multilingual frontend that eventually would look like this:

I don't suggest to start trying to include every language on earth as a first step, but we should have at least Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Deutsch, French (and any other language that is being posted on steemit) versions of the frontend page by now. Forks of the blockchain as a way to improve this steemit beta are of course needed, but the frontend aspect of the platform is equally important as a multilingual frontend will leverage global adoption of steemit.

Thank you @fuzzyvest! Unfortunately it seems Steemit Inc. thinks promoting a diaspora is a better one.

I also think it would be one of the most empowering updates for steemit, @argsolver The platform needs to be friendlier to non-english users of steemit.

Right on @friendster! An english only frontend of steemit.com wont keep non-english steemians engaged too long.

I absolutely agree with you.

별 말씀을요. ㅎㅎ You're welcome~
