Hello again steemit and utopian-io community.
I was browsing the steemit website the other day and an idea flashed through my mind.
I thought the steemit platform will see a better navigation if we can have a "next/previous" button or both at the end of every steemit post.
This will take you from inside one steemit post to the next before or after it (under the same tag, feed or blog) without having to first go back to the list of posts under the tag feed or blog as we currently have it.
This is exemplified in our traditional mailboxes.
Inside the inbox for example, a list of mails are populated. If I want to read, then move from mail 1 to mail 2, all I need to do is click on mail 1.

That action takes me right inside mail 1 as shown below.

To move from mail 1 to mail 2, I'll only need to click on the "forward" button as shown above and voila, I'm inside mail 2. I don't have to come back to the primary inbox list of emails in
image one above.
When you access a particular tag, feed or blog on steemit, my description with traditional emails above isn't currently enabled.
To read, then move from one post to the next, what is currently obtainable is you click on the first post to gain access to the post, come back to the populated list of posts, then click on the next post and so on.
This, in my view is too bulky a task and could be improved upon by enabling the "previous/next" or both button on every steemit post.
So that in the case of these "new" posts under the airhawk-project tag, users can move easily and quickly from one post to the next without having to come back to the populated list on airhawk-project tag, "new".
Post 1 and 2, airhawk-project tag, "new".

Clicking on post 1 as seen above will take you inside post 1 shown in the image below.

Inside post 1 now, you'll only have to hit the "next" button as shown below and you can reach the next post which is post 2.

... And there you are inside post 2 as shown below.

"Next/Previous" button enabled on every steemit post will see better navigation on steemit especially for tag-specific readers and curators.
Thank you for reading.
