Components

The component I want to suggest here is to add a feature in utopian.io in which users can search the utopian contributor usernames.

As a utopian contributor, I also want to know who of my friends or people that I know are also a utopian contributor. With this, I find companion and it boost some energy if I know some of my colleagues are doing same thing as I am.

There are some scenarios that give me ideas why we need to add username search box. I have a friend who also a utopian contributor. He give me is username verbally which I know that his username name is related to his real name. It is a common practice in here to change intentionally the spelling of their to make it sound unique. For example, instead of "S" they change it to "Z", instead of a letter "O" they change to number "0", and sometimes they add numerical figures to the names.

With this happening, it bothers me searching for username. The option I know to search their name is to add URL of utopian.io with its username (https://utopian.io/@thinkingmind). But when we misspelled the username, no profile will be shown.

Proposal

What I am proposing here is to add this feature:

This is a feature that user can search for usernames of their choice. It also has additional feature that will display all the related names for the searched username. For example, If I search the username "thinkingmind", related names like "think, thinker, thingkingmind" will also appear.

Mockups / Examples

If this suggestion will be implemented, this is how it will work.

If the "Search Username" function is used, it will be directed to the page where there is a search box to input the username.

For example, we will input the username thinkingmind, all possible username related to thinkingmind will be shown. it also provides a URL of the username to go directed to the profile page of username.

Benefits

Here are the benefits if implemented;

  1. User can search the username for utopian contributor.
  2. If user is trying to search username by guessing, it will be possible because it will show the related username.
