RE: Utopian: How to choose a valid repository

in #utopian-io6 years ago

This is an excellent contribution to #iamutopian. It's actually quite useful to me, as a moderator. I must confess that until now, I mostly checked that there is a repository, and that it isn't blacklisted. Now I'll know what else to look out for.

I really liked how well illustrated the post was. It added clarity, and made the post that much more useful.

The one place where I would offer a suggestion for improvement is grammar. The issues aren't deal breakers, but if you want, I can provide some examples in a follow-up comment.

Hey @didic, I would love to read your suggestions!

Cool!

Let's focus on your very first paragraph, which is also your very first sentence:

  • Utopian is one of the biggest and well-know dApp built on the Steem Blockchain that incentive Contributions to Open Source Projects, those Projects are hosted in Repositories, there are many sites which host repositories, like GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket and so on... At the moment Utopian only use GitHub."

This should be several sentences. Here's a metaphor I've used before: Think of a sentence as a pause from breathing. The period is where the reader breathes. Let them breathe! Now, let's break it apart.

"Utopian is one of the biggest and well-know dApp" has two issues. First, it's "well-known," not "well-know." Also, if it's "one of," thing it is one of is plural. So "dApps," not "dApp."

"built on the Steem Blockchain that incentive Contributions to Open Source Projects" With no commas or sentence break, it is unclear what the second half refers to. Also, it's "incentivises." "incentive" isn't a verb.

You capitalize a bunch of words that shouldn't be, as they are not at the start of a sentence, not proper nouns, and not the word "I."

Once you say "at the moment," the verb should be "uses," not "use."

So, how would an edited version of this paragraph look?

  • "Utopian is one of the biggest and most well-known dApps on the Steem Blockchain. It incentivises contributions to open source projects. These projects are hosted in repositories, such as GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket. At the moment Utopian only supports projects that use GitHub."

As I wrote, these aren't deal breakers. But these are just the corrections for the first sentence. They add up to make the post harder to read.

Awesome! I love your comments. Thank you!
