Information Bounty - What is your favorite feature that has been added since you joined? What is the #1 feature you would like them to add? - Paying 1 STEEM Per Qualified Response!
I would like to collect a list of all the great features that have been added over the past year, as well as things that users are still wishing were added. I will be paying 1 STEEM per "qualified response" (details below). Each user can respond up to 5 times!
Rules:
- Reply to this post with your favorite feature that has been added since you joined, or the top feature that you would still like to be added, or both!
- Users can have up to 5 replies (total). It can be a mix between "favorites" and "want to adds".
- Each entry should only contain one feature (so users can vote on the ones they agree with).
- Each reply should make it clear if it is a "favorite" or "want to add" feature.
- I will pay 1 STEEM per qualified response.
- If there are duplicates, whoever posted the feature first will get the award.
- The bounty is open until the payout of this post closes.
- All payouts will be made within 24 hours of the post closing.
Reminder to vote for witnesses!
The Steem witnesses are the elected leaders of the community that power the blockchain. If you don't know much about witnesses or aren't sure who to vote for, you can check out this Witness Voting Guide. If you think @timcliff is doing a great job as witness, I would really appreciate your vote!
Vote for witnesses here: https://steemit.com/~witnesses
I like the drag and drop photo \ links feature in the Reply\Comments.
Tipping - a feature that needs to be implemented more visibly.
A sort of format like youtube's super comments. Creators can be supported by their tight knit audiences and those who support the creators are featured alongside the post.
That's a good one! @klye is actually working on a tipping bot that users will be able to use just by posting a comment to tip. You can read about it here.
Tipping bots have their place, mostly in dealing with non-native tokens.
This needs to be a first party steemit inc. inclusion. Hopefully other explorers like Busy will incorporate.
Agreed.
Another thing I'd like to see added is a way to tag your post with a language or even select which languages you speak on your profile and then organize this information into communities by language. This would make it much easier for non-English speakers to find great content in their native language!
Yes, totally agree!
@timcliff "Favorite" is definitely the resteem feature. Because of that, my posts have gotten out to new users, and I've discovered many for myself. I have a Patreon, and I leverage my Instagram following for almost all my pledged patrons, but discoverability is awful on that platform. Steemit has remarkable discoverability. You can come here with no following or internet presence, make money and gain a following with quality art, music and writing. That's one of the first things I tell new users.
Great answers! Can you split them up into 2 replies?
What I would like to see is a Folder or Tab for post\blogs by the actual account holder so everyone can easily view your work in ONE location instead of scrolling through all the resteems.
Splitting blogs and Resteems - yes, definitely a popular one!
A feature that I would like to see added is similar to a resteem, but a "favorites" section on your profile where you can save a post as a favorite so it doesn't fall down your feed as you post more. Meant for the few posts that you want to go back to weeks or months later.
Yes :)
Time it takes to read a post
What I will love to see in Steemit is an approximate amount of time an article takes to be read, It could be next to the title or near the place where tells how many time ago the post has been published.
I have taken the idea from another platform : medium and I don't think the implementation is difficult, maybe an average time an user stays in a post or how many words there are( This more a technical staff).
Hmm, good one - that would be nice!
My favourite feature is the multiple nesting on the comments. Great feature that allows for conversations.
I agree - that is a great one!
Please Add:
I think it's important that everyone knows what their %voting power is at all times. This will encourage people to curate when they see it high, and discourage them from frivolously mass voting.
The mechanics behind this feature are extremely useful and unique only to steemit. New members can take a long time to figure it out.
This is in the pipeline. Intuitive and colorful metrics are planned so that users can have more information about their account than is currently available. No more need to visit steemdb all the time.
Yes, good one!
Communities - The feature that will make or break steem
As more users join - the congestion of the hot and trending pages is real. Quality posts do not stay relevant for long enough and there is no hope at all for going through old posts in a community. There needs to be a 'best of this week' 'best of this month' type setting.
Excellent one!
