RE: 50/50 and then some
We shouldn't be asking much of Steemit.com.
These are things that literally any frontend can change.
I would ask Busy.org or Steempeak first.
If the change takes well all the other frontends will make the same alterations.
Ah, well, I wouldn't be asking anything of them but permission to merge. This is a change I'd be comfortable making to Condenser myself. I would actually be surprised if I were the first person to think of this. Someone has probably already conceived and implemented this idea separately; the question is if TPTB would accept it or not.
The reality is that most people are still using Steemit and it is still, for better or worse, the main gateway to the platform. I certainly support the development of and migration to alternative gateways, and I'd be happy to see this change made in those places too, but for me it is important to make the change where it will have the biggest impact; that place is Steemit.
I think that in time Steemit itself will kill steemit.com, perhaps with @ned's new front end. This way they can bring in a raft of better options and essentially clean slate it and possibly tie some new rules into it through an SMT.
I would say, Steemit.com is doomed unless they sell it off and it gets revamped fully.
That is a bold prediction, @tarazkp. I am intrigued. I actually hadn't considered the possibility.
If they do that, someone will be hosting "Steemit Classic" somewhere, and if they don't, I will. I have tried the other interfaces and I just don't like them. Condenser is my jam.
Don't listen to me about anything UI/UX though. Never, ever trust a developer's taste with these sorts of things.
I am a bold predictor and shirker of responsibility. If only the blockchain wasn't immutable ;)
Will it have IRC?
Monkeys, the lot of them :P
