The idea
Before I even knew about Steemit I had this idea of building a website that people could use to store and organize all kinds of content for later usage and have them available to enjoy fast and easily.
In my mind I envisioned a place where one would store pictures of their children growing up so they can share it with them once they're adult or just store some interesting links, videos, gifs or snippets of texts. I even went a bit farther and saw it as a tool that your kin could use to get to know you. Yes, I'm that kind of guy. Always thinking 100 steps ahead, when still taking the first one.
There are many old people with vasts amount of knowledge that could be stored digitally, they just don't have the means. I know this from personal life. Knowledge that could prove valuable for generations but is about to be lost. Or they could be just stories, stories of your grandfather or his. They always have some lessons in them!
That's just one aspect, I myself deemed worthy of action. I also currently see many different sites for different media formats. Some are dedicated for gifs, some for videos. I'd like to have just one for content I have liked. This is a site I would use to store content I personally enjoy and want to save and not forget! That's explains the "Your page on the internet".
Important: This isn't a product even in a pre-alpha stage.
So keep that in mind, the look is rough and there are lot of things to be done. I'm well aware.
Frontpage
Straight access to newly added content by yourself and from others
Currently search works for tags or as I've called them in the system, names of folder.
Logged in
Logging in represents you access to feed that contains only your content and of course option to add content.
Adding content
In final product there wouldn't be option to add embedded, it would be built in for links
Checking the private makes sure your content is only shown in your content feed
Now you might wonder why I've used terms like folders and topics.. Well, this where the detailed view enters the picture.
This is a view I originally built but now serves as an secondary view.
Detailed page
This is a view that isn't optimized at all for mobile devices but it's barely usable.
On the left you can see list of your topics
On the right is every folder you've added to topic
Conclusion
As Steemit is built on blockchain, it would ensure data would be there uncorrupted for generations to come as my website was intended. I've entertained the idea of building something like this using Steem but I'm not sure if it's needed.
If you'd like, give it a spin

In my opinion it works and looks better on mobile.
Would you like something like this on Steem?
