Frontend suggestions
All suggestions on this list were last checked by on July 26, 2023 (UTC) as neither already implemented nor rejected.
Some suggestions that do not directly involve the DBuzz microblogging platform (such as Hive PM and DBuzz Shop which is also accessible at DBuzz Store) are not included on the list below.
| # | Suggestion | Suggested by | Suggested on |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Users should be able to see on DBuzz if the post or comment got downvoted. The downvoting accounts should at least be shown when hovering on the count of users who voted on the post or comment. | June 23, 2021 | |
| 2 | Add automatic translation for non-English text. It is up to the DBuzz team when, where, and how the non-English text will be translated on the DBuzz frontend. | July 9, 2021 | |
| 3 | Automatically "subscribe" the user to comment threads they commented on. Every time any other user publishes a comment under a buzz (post or comment), he or she should get notified (internally on the DBuzz website) of comments made by other users under that comment, including all nested comments (except from muted users). This option should be turned on by default, and users should be allowed to turn it off. | October 24, 2021 | |
| 4 | Allow the CTRL+V keyboard shortcut to paste images from clipboard directly onto the DBuzz editor. | November 8, 2021 | |
| 5 | Allow users to refresh images which failed to load without needing to refresh the entire page. This should be done by showing a link or button which can be clicked (or pressed) to reload the image. This will be more helpful for devices with slow Internet connections. | March 3, 2022 | |
| 6 | Put a Clear Cache button on the DBuzz loading page to allow users to clear the DBuzz cache on the web browser when the page is loading too long on their device. This might fix the loading problem if the problem with loading is because of the cache. It is recommended to show the button after some time (such as 5 seconds) of the DBuzz page loading. | March 3, 2022 | |
| 7 | Show any incoming and outgoing delegations of the Hive Power of any Hive user on the DBuzz wallet page. This is to prevent some users from getting a false impression of how much Hive Power they actually own. | May 4, 2022 | |
| 8 | Make posts easier to remove buzzes and comments from Pockets. Right now, it is possible to remove posts or comments present in multiple pockets from one pocket at a time. It is recommended to show the "Remove buzz from all Pockets" option (if the buzz is present in at least one Pocket). | May 4, 2022 | |
| 9 | Allow the user to attach a decentralized identifier (DID) to allow continued posting on DBuzz even after running out of Resource Credits. The posts and comments shall be available off-chain. As of last post update, the Metamask login on DBuzz litenet will allow this, but it is still under heavy development. | May 4, 2022 | |
| 10 | Integrate quick trading platforms that support Hive tokens for easy exchanges or withdrawals of HIVE or HBD into other cryptocurrencies. They should be available right on the DBuzz interface. | May 4, 2022 | |
| 11 | Notify users occasionally about unclaimed balances. The notification does not need to be published on-chain, and should not be done too often. | May 4, 2022 | |
| 12 | Remove the Max payout field on the New buzz field. Change the default max payout, let it be changed somewhere else (such as on the Settings page), or remove the functionality entirely on DBuzz. | May 27, 2022 | |
| 13 | A post or comment that is edited or deleted should get reflected on any Pocket it belongs to of every DBuzz user, or announce that the post or comment on every Pocket that it belongs to has been changed. Some users may not be aware that the contents of any Pocket are just snapshots of the post or comments stored on it. | July 25, 2022 | |
| 14 | Allow opening of a buzz or comment in a new tab. This helps prevent the user from leaving the feed of wherever the content is located, allowing them to easily return to where they left off after they view (and reply to) a specific buzz or comment. | June 22, 2023 | |
| 15 | Reduce or remove the sound that plays whenever the current version of DBuzz being used has a new update. The sound may be too loud for some users, especially if the device's sound volume is set to maximum. | June 22, 2023 | |
| 16 | Allow the removal of upvote (heart) within the 7-day voting period (and beyond). | June 22, 2023 |
Suggestions which are being developed, already implemented, or marked as rejected are simply removed from the list.
