RE: Are Blockchains Really Censorship Resistant?
This was my first post created with the new medium-style editor at https://test.steemit.com/
I must say that I found the process to be much nicer than raw markdown and/or all prior editors we have had. Give it a try and let us know what issues you have!
Feedback about new medium-style editor:
I really had not clue what happen to post textarea when I switched editor. There should be some kind of border around this area or at least placeholder message inside
Problems with menu with smaller screensize
Still no possibility of uploading image directly?
Of course we do not want to store images in blockchain right now (because of disk space reasons), so it would have to be stored on Steemit's servers, but new users very often do not know how to upload images to steemit with 3rd party services.
Avarage Joe do not know services like http://imgsafe.org/ or https://ipfs.pics/ and do not know how to use them. Steemit has to be more user-friendly.
That new user was me. Guess how long it took me to learn Markdown for image hosting on my first Steemit post....
1 hour.
most normal people would have given up after 20 minutes.
most likely after 2 minutes ;)
yeah, you're right. most people are so accustomed to spoon-fed tech that anything difficult will be cast aside. Steemit really needs to be Applefied. Designers and artists, well, they know how to cater to people's emotions. Personally, I feel that the technology needs to follow the designer's plans because designers understand normal people. Steve Jobs knew this and made technology sexy. Steemit needs to be sexified.
Soon.
This is the best comment I have read in a while. So excited to have this feature. I have recruited 7 friends/family to the site so far and adding pictures has been a major hurdle for them. Second to backing up their login correctly, but that I do not mind.
what if... steemit would provide a QR-like code for exporting keys/password?
Then user could use smartphone to export (or backup) key and at the same time, it would be very easy for applications like eSteem to import those keeys:
Password/Private key:
Public Key:
In the end it would still come down to their backup method and the level of security on their part.
In Litecoin its 2 weeks :))))))
what about instant messaging, is that going to be a feature on Steemit at any time in the future? i think this will really help with user friendliness, if it's done right.
It is something I want as well and something that will eventually show up. It is just low on the priority list at the moment.
OK. Thank you.
You forgot to mention steemimg.com :-)
just had a look at it. If I click to add a video the pop-up shows up and I can paste the link to YouTube and Vimeo. All good there but if I did click it by accident and don't want to add a video, it would be nice to be able to press Esc to remove it (a la Medium). Atm I need to click outside of the link paste box and delete the section manually.
The text selection and formatting seems to be working OK. When should we expect this feature to be rolled out to the main interface?
Thanks a lot for developing this!
It looks nice, but for people like me who are not on medium, it was hard to figure out how it was working. I have also seen some posts with columns and embedded figure (within the next). Would it be possible to add such a feature? Thanks in advance!
