RE: Attention grabbing UIs, UXs and metrics
The basic are their in the UIs. Need to get ride of default going to Trending though; Adding Random channel (like Steemhunt has). Give the reward value a less prominent position. Maybe add a counter for real votes over auto votes. But foremost, Steemit shall get a p2p messaging system inbuild. The later requires serious core development and has lesser to do wit the frontends itself, but it would increase the UX for sure.
I agree, but I am not sure it necessarily requires serious core development. Not my area -but I will throw something out there. There is a memo key that is used to send encrypted memos, couldn't that be leveraged in a messaging application that would allow for secure p2p messaging between two accounts while still keeping it on the blockchain?
Yeah you maybe right. The trick with p2p messaging is that the transaction rate will go much higher than posts and comments requires. Guess we have a fast blockchain, so maybe not a problem. I think in crypto space already blockchain based messaging services exists. I would say, start using one of them at first and maybe later bring something to Steem, if it makes sense to use the same blockchain. Can imagine we dont want p2p messaging on Steem, since Steem is build to allow blogging content and vote for content, better to use that capability for the social side of services rather than p2p messaging.
I am unsure what would be best, but having even a simple (but easy to use) DM would likely add a lot of enjoyment for users in the day to day, rather than having to rely on Discord.
Agree! In case you have some connections with developers, please reach out to them. I dont seem to have any :(
