Steemit needs an option to "Pin" a post or two to the "top of thier blog". Example mockup included.
There is a reason all the big social media networks offer the ability to "pin" something to the top of everyones "feeds". This is done to increase visibility of certain content you'd like to promote without drowning yourself out with new content.
Me and @lovenugz were talking the other day and she brought up the ability to "pin" items to her profile being something she hoped would be added & I believe this option would be a huge game changer for Steemit, @Dan @Ned I hope you agree that providing the ability for users to simply append something to the top of thier feeds with a simple check box would be a very quick and easy implement feature and would go a long way for boosting usage, content rediscovery and mostly just give people more reason to write time-tested content.
Here is an example of how easy it would be to add these feature, especially in a UI sense:
And the profile page could look like this or similar:
Thoughts? Suggestions? This would be rather easy it implement on steemit.com without touching most of the code on the blockchain I'm sure... I would love some feedback on this! and I also hope its already in the pipeline :p
I'm hoping we see more options like your pinning suggestion as the platform matures. I'd like to see a way to customize the feed that I receive but that might be counterproductive.
I would like to see a list of all the people I am currently following:) though this pin idea is amazing because there are probably one are two I would like to be able to pin. Great suggestion and thank you for sharing. Upvote for Pin and follow list
Totally! I was even thinking we should have the ability pin our introduceyourself or verification posts so people can do some easy verification before they vote.
I am pretty sure they are the ability to customize you homepage. Will be nice to customize it within reason. Don't want a 'My Space' or "Geo Cities" breaking out on here.
This. This is exactly one of the things that steemit is crying out for!!
