suggesting pop up and auto-fill of names when inputting names of beneficiaries using the steemplus extension.

Components

Steemplus is an extension designed to add additional features to steemit operations. One of those ad-ons is the beneficiaries tab that allow users share rewards earned from a post with a person of their choice, it also allows the user set the percentage the person can get, however this reward is received by the beneficiary as steem power. The beneficiaries idea is an amazing one, but on that tab there could be a little adjustment. Inputting the name of a beneficiary requires typing the name in full and for long names it could be tiring or time consuming. Also names on steemit are unique, meaning no two users can have same name, however some names are similar, and only a slight misplaced alphabets will lead to inputting a wrong username.

Proposal

With the above issue stated above, I'm suggesting a pop-up of names suggestions or user profile while inputting a beneficiary's name.

Mockups / Examples

This is how the current input of the beneficiaries tab is.

For the suggestion of pop-up of names while inputting a beneficiary name, it'll look like this

After the name is selected there could be a thumbnail of the user's profile avatar

Benefits

• the implementation of this component will save time in inputting beneficiaries names
• it'll be less tiring inputting long names as with this function a few letters will popup suggestions of names similar to the desired name
• for the display of profile avatar of the beneficiary, it'll be as a means of confirming a profile if it was correctly inputted.
