Smart hyperlink paste / copy to clipboard for easy reference
Repository
https://github.com/steemit/condenser
(or any blog/SNS UI that uses Steem blockchain)
Components
- Post share function, or
- Paste (of hyperlink) function
Proposal Description
Introduction
One distinctive feature of many Steemit posts is that they are more informative than usual blog/sns posts. In many cases, even though much information is from other posts on Steemit or the Internet, unfortunately, no proper reference is provided. I believe this is partially due to the inconvenience of hyperlink markdown. For instance, for a pretty link, one should specify both title and address separately, which is very annoying. I'm always trying my best to include the reference (especially when it's not mine) in my posts, but to be honest, it's very time consuming even when I found the article. Thus, I propose two ways to dramatically simplify this annoying job.
1. Smart hyperlink paste
- When a user paste a hyperlink of Steemit post, it is automatically pasted as hyperlink markdown with the title.
2. Hyperlink markdown copy to clipboard
- Steemit.com (or Busy, etc) should provide a way to copy hyperlink markdown to clipboard easily. See the Mockup / Examples for details.
Mockups / Examples
1. Smart hyperlink paste
Suppose "https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@blockchainstudio/powerdown-information" is in the clipboard.
Currently, it is pasted as below:
Current Steemit.com hyperlink paste function
Thus, a user need to make a skeleton of the hyperlink markdown and then copy the title separately.
In "smart hyperlink paste" proposal, it is pasted as a hyperlink markdown automatically:
New proposal: hyperlink is pasted as a hyperlink markdown automatically.
2. Hyperlink markdown copy to clipboard
Another implementation is hyperlink markdown copy to clipboard. While it can be implemented on blog/feed directly, I provide a mockup in the share function that is already provided on Steemit.com
Currently, each post provides a button for sharing
If you click the share button, the popup below appears.
But, it doesn't provide a function to copy the link as a hyperlink markdown.
In "hyperlink markdown copy to clipboard" proposal, it provides the separate button for markdown copy to clipboard.
My hyperlink markdown copy to clipboard proposal: a separate button to copy the hyperlink markdown to clipboard.
Benefits
Much easier reference
Even though users want to provide proper references, so far it's very cumbersome. In the new proposal, it's way easier to do it.Author credit
Proper reference appreciates the original authors. Thus, authors have more incentive to write good posts.Plagiarism prevention
Partly due to the anonymity of blockchain, not enough reference tends to be provided. The difficulty of reference leads to unintentional plagiarism.Search engine ranking improvement
Most search engine ranking algorithm (including Google) uses the hyperlink to calculate the score of a link. If more references are provided, it can increase the search engine ranking of the articles.
Hello, @blockchainstudio. Thank you for your contribution. Personally, I never thought that this could be annoying to some people not until now that you've mentioned it and have suggested it for the Steemit front end. But I do agree with some of your point of benefit as they will make referencing articles easy and may even make the blog post look professional. Thank you for using Utopian and I 'm looking forward to your next contribution.

Hi @knowledges, Thank you for you review and comment. Happy to see that this time it's beyond your "knowledge base" :) Thanks!
Thank you for your review, @knowledges! Keep up the good work!
In Korean: 스팀잇 글이 다른 블로그/sns에 비해서 정보성 글이 많음에도 불구하고 적절한 출처를 달지 않는 경우가 많습니다. 애초에 굳이 생각이 없는 경우도 있긴하겠지만 대체로 그 작업이 매우 귀찮기 때문이라 생각하여 1. paste를 할때 자동으로 markdown형식으로 붙여주는 기능 2. markdown형식으로 복사하는 기능을 제공하자는 제안입니다. 제 개인적으로는 출처 밝히는 것을 중요하게 생각해서 꼭 추가되었으면 하는 기능입니다. 현재는 글 찾아서 link복사, 제목 복사 두단계하는게 너무 귀찮아요ㅠㅠ
스팀잇 본사에 스카웃되셨으면 좋겠습니다!!
감사합니다ㅎㅎ 스팀잇 UI같은 디자인이 젤 문제중 하나인데 키위파위님께서ㅎㅎ
