RE: Steemit.com Developer Bounty: Split Blog into Blog and Resteemed 💰 $50 SBD + STEEM/SBD Author Payout From This Post 💰
I'm split on my feelings about the separate tabs @timcliff.
Maybe I'm a minority here, but if you bother to create a separate tab for resteems, you may as well get rid of it altogether because I would personally never visit it. I want to see what the author is posting
Instead, I think I would prefer to see a small notice above the posts in the existing tabs (Home, New, Trending, etc.) that states how many of my followers have resteemed an article. I don't even need to know who they are. It would be enough information to pique my interest without being in my face.
That all being said, if the split tabs seems to be the direction we want to go, then I'm all for decluttering my profile page. :)
Yes, but this would allow others to resteem posts they like, which puts that post into the feed of all their followers at that moment, without cluttering their blog.
Does that make sense?
It does, papa, which is part of the reason I'm torn. I understand the benefits, but I also know myself. It's one extra click that I would likely never do.
Personally, I don't follow people whose resteems outnumber their posts either. Maybe I'm the strange one?
You're not alone. I don't either.
I do not think that the main goal is to see what people have resteemed, but rather to not see what they have resteemed when you look at their blog.
If you are following them, every post that they resteemed would already be in your feed anyway.
hey Papa-Pepper,
I just made a little chrome plugin to do exactly this...and you can hide/show all resteems on profile pages with one click(it adds a button to the profile page itself)

Take a look, let me know if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
I'll try to check it a little later. Thank you!
Totally not!! I think most of us do that...I just made a chrome plugin for this issue though merej99, maybe you'll find it helpful...it adds a little toggle button on the place to hide or show all the resteems on someone's profile page.

Sounds pretty cool @itchykitten - I'll definitely check it out. :)
@merej99 - just to be clear, the "Feed" would still show both from everybody that you are following. This change is just for how they are shown in the user's profile. Currently the "Blog" page combines both the 'blog' and 'Resteemed' content, which is not really how it should be. It is hard to see what user's have actually posted (which a lot of people are interested in) without having to scroll through all the "Resteemed" articles.
This is a separate feature that I think should be added as well.
I made a quick chrome plugin that does just this Tim! Take a look, let me know what you think!

Cool, but I don't install plugins :)
totally understand. If you're worried about what's in, you can always download the quite simple JS + html from github and load it into chrome as an 'unpackaged developer mode' extension.
I agree that it's a good thing and a step in the right direction, but as I mentioned to @papa-pepper, when I curate and look for new people to follow, I tend to skip over the people who resteem more than they produce, so separating it removes a "tool" that I've implemented. I really am conflicted about it but not opposed by any of the changes. I'm just a girl on a boogie board waiting for the next wave. LOL
I'm torn on the main feed page too, but I think Tim's talking about having the option on our personal blog pages.
Perhaps this is a step in the right direction. I would also love to see a true profile page where I could have a short bio, and columns/sections that show my stats, a list of my blogs and resteems, and maybe even my last 5-10 comments. Milestone badges might also go a long way in rejuvenating users to interact. And wouldn't it be neat if the curation guilds actually hosted competitions for best quality posts so they could award their own badge to be proudly displayed on said profile page? That's my dream. Tabs? meh. Not so much.
A lot of that is in the works :)
Correct.
