Steemit feature wish list
1) Newsgroup style filtering - As shown in the picture, you start out with an empty list and input whatever tags your alias wants filtered your way. Click on an individual tag in the drop down menu to only see that category, or click the all button at the bottom to see everything on your list. (list would be alphabetical)
2) Drop down follow list - works just like the topic filter list does, in alphabetical order of course.
3) Ability to create topics that grant no monetary gain to topic creator - numerous needs for this. If an organization isn't permitted to accept donations or profits in some manner, they would probably be required to use this. Same thing if developers just want to post some type of release log. The reward could be burned or blocked somehow.
4) Some primitive form of messaging - probably only work with two users who are online, but maybe pay to send offline messages using the blockchain.
5) Some type of profile page - with just a very limited allowance of text to post a link to an avatar and/or description of account. Even if it's only a few character allowance to link to a pastebin, better than nothing. The "follow" button would likely be located here.
6) Storefront integration -likely to come much later. Start off as a storefront for digital goods, then physical. Everything based on a reputation system, at your own risk type of thing.
Good stuff. I think follow could also be implemented with notifications, in the sense that you get a stream of updates/notifications from those you follow...
Agreed, but note this can also be a noisy firehose as the site is now because although I may share interests with a person, I may not share all their interests.
Private messaging is going to be key. I hope it's on the road map.
Agreed. The ability to communicate privately will open more interactions and thus investment of relationships in the site.
Private messaging is already implemented on the blockchain and just needs the Web UI to be completed. It is both in-progress and on the roadmap.
I saw that before but didn't recall seeing messaging on there. Honestly, option #1, the topic filtering part and follow list are way more important.
The follow list is also partially implemented. I'm not sure what plans there are for filtering.
Hi smooth, there is a situation in this post you upvoted about feeding street cats
https://steemit.com/life/@baharoba/thanks-to-steemit
It has $1600
And the author is apparently refusing to agree to spend 50% of the SD rewards in buying more food for the street cats, which you would think would be congruent with the spirit of the post.
If you agree with me, please correct your vote before payout if this situation is not corrected.
Thank you
flagged as off topic
OK, yes, Im contacting you here because its the only way I have,
my intention here was not to put off topic content,
its just that I dont have another way to contact you than to reply to a post you made.
What about the issue I mentioned? You dont see any abuse there?
Come on smooth...
Please Act as a gentleman, I upvoted her at first too,
I made a mistake, it happens to everybody, then I corrected my vote. If you keep that upvote up, you are just calling for conartists to fabricate more scammy content like this,
is that what you want?
As much as I can appreciate the thing you are trying to do , thing is, nowhere in her post did she mention anything about using 50% of the funds to buy catfood.
She said she wanted to make money, she went to the bank , withdrew some of her own savings, and bough food to feed those cats in the pictures, and she also mentioned she wanted to do this every week.
You suggested that she uses 50% of the amount and you are trying to pressure her.
it could be another share, say 30% or 10%,
dont you think its reasonable and fair that a person that its extracting money from sympathy to stray animals contributes a share to the issue that drives the attention to the post?
You can see in the comments that people that vote for it really just have sympathy for stray animals and support it, thats the spirit of the post, what she says is in such a broken English that nobody can really understand clearly
and most people probably dont even read it.
Im glad at least you appreciate what Im trying to do. Most people dont.
It can be a science experiment. Pay her like a million dollars to feed street cats, then when the cats have abundant food supply, start multiplying even more. Then the entire town is covered with cats as far as the eye can see.
Sure, it could be that too. :)
great list. I'd like to have some sort of pin feature where we could pin up to to say 5 articles by other people that we think our followers would be interested in. each article could sit on our profile page for 12 hours
I'm not sure if new functionality would actually be required for that or if you could just look up what other main topics a user has upvoted. This of course gets into private vs public functionality. It's already strange enough having wallets listed out in the open.
Great list here...Steemit is now open source so code away my friend.
Thanks for sharing, I did not see that yet
So many tags will be proliferated, that filtering by tag is likely to become as much a firehose as is the site now. I don't really see that solving the problem of relevance, except as pertains to creation of dedicated groups which gain prominence over others, e.g. #bitcoin becomes prominent over #bitcoinfans, #bitcointalk, #bitcoinnews, etc..
I presume Reddit can limit the number of discussion sub-forms created because it is a top-down run site?
As I said on my post on Bitcoin forums:
It works under the same concept as IRC channels. While not completely unbounded or analog, the variety of IRC channel combinations you can create is extremely high, yet people congregate/conform/cooperate as to funnel into certain ones.
See my rebuttal there.
Hi! This post has a Flesch-Kincaid grade level of 9.2 and reading ease of 71%. This puts the writing level on par with Michael Crichton and Mitt Romney.
Thanks for the post!!
