IDEA:

Beneficiary rewards to the community owner/admin. I'm basically stealing ideas from @jesta's old chainBB front end, which was in a forum format. tokenBB has recently taken up jesta's legacy with a new forum implementation. If you did go the way of beneficiaries, it might be worth doing it like chainBB/tokenBB and charging a fee (theirs were/are 10 steem) to create a community. Again, that might defeat the purpose of communities, in which case ignore this idea. :)

Well this is ALSO a spec on the document created by steemit about communities as well. So hardly stealing.

This is kind of a two pronged feature for the future. First there can be a requirement set up by the community owner. How much they require for a post to get into a community. (Or comment) then the front end that acts accordingly and places the beneficiary on the post and comments. And a node that double checks which posts and comments qualified and gives the valid api results for which posts and comments should be there.

Also of course first we need the ability for a community owner to attach an account to a community as a benefactor and for community members to transparently know which that is

This is something we'd love to see very soon, charging something like 5% fees for author/curator/transfers done within our community. Busy is already going along this path as well.

IDEA 7

It would be great to share templates within a community. In our community we'll have user and project posts. For both types of posts it would be great to have a template.

This is a front end thing for steempeak to consider and it's a great idea.

I love this idea!

IDEA?

I wonder if it's possible (and desirable) to have the most recent commented on thread come to the top of a community's list of posts. Essentially like a forum. It would make it easier to keep track of active posts. But then, it would make it more like a forum, which would perhaps be less(?) desirable.

(@revo here. Using my alternative account for the test area)

Yes both my ideas in 4 and 5 deal with this idea of helping the user have the best idea possible as to where their attention should go. This idea is also part of this.

It's rather easy to order newest comments (steempeak already does that)
The request is therefore something along the lines of

IDEA 6: Show the most recently active post inside a community

Correct?

p.s. I find that right now I'm likely to create new posts with an alt account but no worries commenting from my main account.

Yeah that sounds right.

I might be sorry, as I've just forked out 10 steem to set up a forum on tokenBB. Communities might wipe tokenBB out, particularly given the user base you guys have garnered on steempeak so far.

From what I know it's pretty different. They're more of a private forum system. Aren't they trying to be more private companies wanting one forum in one place. And be able to maybe put that forum on a website... etc?

This is a cross-platform community system. Its hopefully a whole lot more than steempeak. We want to see all front ends create an interface

Which of these options (if any) would be useful?

Keep in mind this request may be very challenging for SteemPeak UI ... i'm not sure. @asgarth ??

IDEA 4: Help users see relevant new interactions.

  • How do we do this?

IDEA 5: Show which community has been the active the most recently.

  • Great for new comments
    Assumption is this could be abused by useless comments ... so may have to be combined with a knowledge that the commentator is a valued member of the community. Aka a subscriber.
  • Good for new posts (assuming that's easier)

IDEA 1:

A community could be set up with a shared account that each admin has posting access to in order to make these generic posts that I'm making right now and allowing every admin to have access to edit them.

IDEA 2: Encrypted communities.

This is an idea I've talked to several people about... recently quite a bit with @josephsavage
Maybe I'll start a new thread just about this... but I understand it's likely farther in the future.

IDEA 3: MORE STATS

@acidyo was talking about wanting more stats in the future.
So if you have some thoughts on that let's hear it.

Is this a good sub-thread for the SBI stats we talked about, or should that be a separate sub-thread (Idea N+1?)

#sbi-skip

Well this would be In regards to communities pretty specifically. Stats for sbi would be in the steempeak community itself or discord for now BUT hopefully we release full on communities soon. These communities are all temporary at the moment

Yeah, I asked too soon. After clicking around and reading everything I figured out that it was out of place.

IDEA 8: SteemPeak can allow a community admin to set the default comment sorting.

As far as I know this couldn't really be a community wide setting just a front end thing
But we're trying to think of ways to get people to where the action is the quickest so it's something to think about.

Also maybe the solution is to make comment sorting option more evident and faster.
Which means maybe take it out of the drop down and display all the buttons.
It's not a huge difference but it is 2-3x faster and 10x more in your face.

IDEA 9: Subscribe to a post to get notified when there is action in that post.

I could see myself subscribing to a few posts.

This would be a great feature.
