Steemit is missing 1 critical feature that I think would add great value to it, help all authors, and would be fairly easy to implement. I am talking about links to previous articles of the author.
Every major news website does this, at the bottom of an article they usually add 3 thumbnails to 3 randomly selected previous articles to keep the readers in touch with other similar articles they might wish to read. I think this would be very necessary to be added to Steemit.
It would help all authors to get their content out, since readers would be able to see the previous content of this author, and potentially give more rewards to him by seeing and upvoting their earlier articles.
How to do it?
- It would be fairly easy, just use the same template as it is used in the
Blogtab, to get the thumbnails of the articles. - I think there should be 3 articles posted there, of the same author (ignoring re-steems), below the article but above the comment section. (perhaps 4, but I think 3 is the max that it fits elegantly)
- The articles should be randomly picked articles of the author, but to avoid old stuff, perhaps restrained to the past 30 days. So 3 random articles would be linked there in a thumbnail, that would refresh and change every time the page is refreshed.
I think it would be a great feature for Steemit and it can be added fairly easily. If you think this is a useful feature, up-vote me so that the developers can see this!
