Components
Steemprojects is a directory of apps,sites and tools built by the Steem community.
Proposal
Am proposing the addition of a rating and review feature to the Steem projects website so projects listed on the site can be rated and reviewed by users.
For example I discovered the Get on Steem tool on Steem Projects; Get on Steem requires your active key and 3 Steem to create an account for you on Steemit. I personally wasn't convinced on how secure the platform was and am yet to meet any Steemit user that has used the platform to create a new Steemit account successfully.
If Steem projects had a rating and review system, I would have seen other users reviews about the Get on Steem tool and that would have answered the following questions I have as regards the project:
- how secure the platform was for me to give away my user active key
- how secure the new account created by the tool is as they generate the password for the new account on their site for you
- according to the site, the 3 Steem fee used in creating the account will be transferred to the new account as Steem Power; I would have loved to know how truthful that is.
If there was a rating and review feature/system where users could leave their ratings, comments and feedbacks on a Steem project, it would have answered the above questions I had about the project and I'd also share my own experience with the project on the site so other users can refer to it.
Mockups / Examples
If my proposal is implemented, it will look like the image above where users can rate and leave a comment or feedback on a particular Steem project.
Benefits
- It will enable users make the right decision in terms of knowing the right Steem projects to use.
- The feedback generated by users will enable the project owners improve their Steem based projects.
