RE: ๐ Steemit Comment Challenge #21 - $5 SBD + 2 x 200 SP (1 Week Delegations) - Comment like a Champ, Grow your blog like a Champ!! ๐
@danielsaori, thank you for this creative contest :D . Here's my comment:
As a visually impaired user, I can't actually see what the UI redesign looks like, but from the text on the post and everyone's comments, it sounds awesome! Though I have joined Steemit just a month ago, some of the features you propose have been on my wishlist since my first week here, like favoriting tags and posts, notifications, and having the voting power and recharge time shown. I've always found it strange that Steemit doesn't show our voting power and the time remaining to recharge, as these are so important features. And I really like the idea of a slider that controls the voting weight according to price!
Most interestingly, though, is that you aren't just pointing out the problems (it's easy for anyone to say, "I want this, I miss that."), but you are hearing people's voices, proposing solutions and even showing what they would look like (which requires a lot of skill!). It would be great to have these solutions implemented. Isn't there a more sure-fire way to make these proposals reach the devs other than by mentioning their usernames? GitHub issues? Utopian, maybe?
Confirmed!
That is an excellent comment Aiyumi. I like your thinking of trying to make this visible to a wider audience. Maybe a proposal via GitHub could be something. @theuxyeti, that might be something worth trying?
Btw, Aiyumi, I love your avatar! :)
I think it'd make sense to try to contribute via GitHub, especially since Steemit is open source, and theoretically anyone can contribute to it if they have the right skills.
Just for the record, here's the repository for the Steemit web interface. I don't have the right skills to even begin to understand the source code, but I believe this repository is the one. :P
Haha, thank you. You're the second person that commented about my avatar! It was made using an online anime-style avatar creation tool. I'm glad to have found the tool, and that people seem to like the avatar!
Yes, it would be cool if someone could implement this in a running version of Condensor. I pointed that out to @theuxyeti when I first saw his work. Would be a great thing. Let's see if someone can tackle it.
Thx for the Avatar link! :)
i dont think the avatar creator will make yetis lol
XDDDD
I guess not... but again, considering your skills, you wouldn't need to rely on something like that :P .
Haha
Personally UPVOTED this COMMENT! --- wow!
I must say you have said a lot here. let me get started.
โข I try to build simple user interfaces for all types of users and when i build them accessibility tends to be one of the driving factors. when i worked at facebook, tinder, disney for example those places want accessibility at the top for users. Visual impairments, voice recognition, colors, legibility, retina tested text, all of it becomes a factor. I would be happy to email you the design work Much larger if that would help you happy to do so. [email protected]
As for feature sets and providing a solution for them, thats what i do for my career everyday, except here its become a mission and a statement of my identity here. Both @aggroed, @themarkymark, @fredrikaa @patrice all people that have provided mentorship and growth to me on this platform and encouragement to do this series and find a footprint here. so here i am lol
lastly... I have reached out in the early 1,2,3 parts of this series to the main guys at steemit.inc and never received an educated response other than the typical political response, "we will check it out" or "great were not working there yet" washed out responses... from the walking dead lol.. anyway I have taken it upon myself to spearhead a UI and have it in production personally funded and will have it ready in 90 days. So it will be there.
Thanks for the comment. Great to see that I am making an impact here. Please follow me and the future series posts. Id love additional criticism from you as well to help shape this UI for my build phase.
Wow, thank you for the upvote! Getting only generic responses from the devs is very discouraging, though... I replied to the comment over at your post.
