Component
Steemhunt is a social platform for visibility on products that are new or hasn't gone viral. Steemhunt is a platform that rewards product visibility. They are some features that I believe if added on steemhunt will help make the social platform intriguing. This features are
- Post preview
- Upvote post button
- Clear post button
Post preview:
With post preview added on steemhunt, every post made my a user will be previewed under the post so that a user can have a view of it and how it will be displayed on his blog. This feature elimates unnecessary editing after posting. A post preview feature enables the users to preview their post and make necessary adjustments and corrections before posing it on their blog.
Upvote post button
Upvote post button is another feature that I believe should be added on steemhunt because this feature allows the user to upvote his post before posting it. It is an option that can be toggled depending on what the user wants. With this feature added a user can simply upvote his post before posting and it will eliminate the process of going back to your blog in order to upvote your post.
Clear post button
Clear post is an option that gives the users the ability to clear their entire post without having to delete it manually during writing. This feature ia super cool because on the process of writing a post a user might feel the post is not of quality or he has a change of mine. With a clear button attached he can easily clear the entire post with just on click rather than deleting every word one by one.
Proposal
I suggest three features should be added by the developers.
- Preview post
- Upvote post button
- Clear post button
- The preview page feature should be in a way that a user can view his post through a previewed page and his post should be displayed as if it was on his blog.
- Upvote button should be developer in a way that a user can choose to enable this feature or disabled it before posting. It should be inform of a check box.
- Clear post button should be in away that a user can clear all his written post with one click.

Benefits
The benefit of this features are tremendous, as it has a lot to offer to both the users of steemhunt and the social platform itself.
When a preview post option is added, a user can easily see how his post will be represented on his blog and through this he can preview and make adjustments to parts of the post that needs adjustment.
Having a clear post button will be super cool also because in a case where a user wants to start writing a post from start, with this button he can clear the whole page. This option is more better than having to delete a post manually which can be stressful especially when the post is of more words.
An upvote button added to the posting page will enable a user to upvote his post before posting it on his blog.
