Hi again, great people of Steemit!
This is my second post about how we interact and navigate online on this community and how users of this platform can have a better access and operate on a easier and simpler way.
From my last post I explained how Steemit Developers can make a partnership with a third-party app called Ghost 1.0.0 and can integrate this open source application to Steemit Platform and make it very user friendly for authors to write content and have more features and tools to use while writing their content, you can see this post and get more info by clicking here.
Content Feed & Tags and Topics
Actual Sections on Steemit wall.
When you open your browser and type in steemit.com, it will direct you to the main page called feed, where you can see all the posts submitted by other content creators called authors, and in the right is the section called Tags and Topics. If you click on one of those topics let's say "photography" for example because photography topic directory I think has the most steem value on the market that's why its sorted as the first from all the other topics, the second one is life and the third one is steemit, so people mostly post about photography. And by clicking "photography" you'll be directed to only "photography" content posts other authors wrote for.
These two sections have a very important role, because every post you write and the first tag you used (you can use only 5 tags max. for one article/post), automatically categorizes that article under the tag you used and moves the post under that topic with the same name, for example if your tags look like this: health community firstaid technology steemit - then your first tag you used is health so your post will automatically move to the health topic, but it will also be categorized on the other tags you used also.
Recommended Authors
Might be added on the future as a section on Steemit wall.
As many of you I am a registered user of other social media platforms too and most of them like Facebook, Twitter Instagram, Tumblr etc. have the "Most Featured" "Suggested" or "Recommened Blogs" section integrated on their web, so users/people can reach other users/authors more easier and follow them. But unfortunately Steemit doesn't have this option or maybe it is because of the Beta phase. I guess this has been think by developers and designers of Steemit, but the platform it's still on the first steps so it may need some time. But anyway I opened a new document on Adobe Photoshop and put some work/design on Steemit page itself and tried to imagine how this section, this new feature would look on Steemit on the main page, where you check for contents and click on topics. Please see below:
If you see at the picture above, my user is the second one and it's imagined in that way that if the touch point cursor would be over my name or any other author name hovering, the backround would change for my user place on a shadow of grey and there's a little glyph button x that has the function to remove the user from "Recommended Authors" section and in the right the + button that follows the user. It can be developed on that way using algorithm where people that read or write more let's say for example about health, they'll most likely see authors that write about health too. It has also the button load more... on the bottom that has the function to load more from the featured authors.
Thank you for reading and being a part of this helpful and social community, let's help each other and share our experiences together for making a bigger and better platform for all of us, to navigate and access the Steemit Platform in a easier and simpler way.
