Polling Application Proposal
Motivation
A new application with a user interface for creating polls/straw polls for bloggers that want this kind of feedback. The user interface will allow users to create polls like
**what paints to use?**
[] water color
[] acrylic
[] oil
[] latex
Then users will be able to respond. The goal is to provide a mostly seamless interface between the condenser and the polling app. This means whether you view the poll in the polling app or in the condenser UI, it will still make sense. There will be more features in the polling app that make it more desirable to use, but the condenser interface will not be confusing to those that stumble across polls. It will still be usable as well for condenser viewers.
Technical Details
- VueJS
- Typescript
- ImageMagick
Implementation
Application parse standard markdown and interpret markdown details as a specification for the poll. Markdown conceals details of
- Poll title
- Poll options
- Poll result
Votes
Poll options will also be posted as comments to the main post.
Using the example above, there would be 3 inital comments.
- Vote for Water color
- Vote for Acrylic
- Vote for Oil
- Vote for Latex
Users can then use built-in voting features to decide the poll. Comments will deny payout and curation by default. Votes will not affect voting power of voters (basically, it's voting for voting sake).
Rewards
Other comments as well as the post itself can earn rewards. There is a default maximum of 10 SBD for the post.
Results in Condenser
The polling app may be able to natively display polls as you would normally expect them, but the condenser is still designed as a blog and poll results would just look weird in markdown. One of the goals is a seamless experience with the condenser. To achieve this, the post will display a gif image that is generated. This means, it will update upon each refresh displaying accurate results of the poll.
Moar like this!
Interesting idea for a platform I can see people having a use for it.
You should do similar with photofeed. There are exif modules for node that work in-browser to parse exif data from images. You can use those to feed
json-metadataand even the body of posts, to make it convenient for posters.Then you could provide added value for viewing by hardware. You can also automatically add tags for
macrophotographyfor 40mm or closer,nightphotographyfor anything higher than 800 ISO, and add better sorting based... based on the hardware.You have your hands full, but in the next week, there will be more proposal, I'll be announcing my intent to witness, and explain that I need help. If you would like to contribute, give a ring.
Anything with aspect ratio larger than 16:9 is panoramic. <-- my contribution. LOL
Great idea though. Adding EXIF data to blog posts. I notice people do this already out of due diligence. I bet a feature like this would thrill them. #convention-over-configuration
I wonder if there is exif data for 360 photography. If that's the case, you could build an entire site around just 360 photography for steem. That would be amazing.
This is a pretty cool idea! I agree many of the users who spend time documenting their setting would enjoy this being automatic. I'll take a look at using it on the project. Thanks!
