RE: Steemit is bad at connecting users to relevant content - We need Smart Feeds
yeah i posted something similar about this about profile pictures some time back, i think those kind of curated or smart feeds based on reputation and other factors might end up being outside of the main site which is a shame as i'd also like them here.
i agree humble, but the cool thing is I bet this could be done in a javascript browser extension TO the site. Have you seen the reddit enhancement suite?? super inspiring!!! why should we wait for the devs to make changes, we can do all this on the front end querying the blockchain through steem-rpc.
sweet, if that can be done or discussed then it should be!
I agree, I'm going to be slowly aspiring my way up to something like that. My javascript and software engineering abilities are somewhat fragile :P
Totally agree about smart feed though. How about doing something similar like the search in Quora? I mean there has to be a better way to classify content. I was thinking more in the line of favorite topics on the individual basis.
Now, since everyone of us have different interests, we can simply list the ones we most interested in. That way, there's no need for complex algorithm that "feeds" us content.
What do you guys think about that?
i personally think that some kind of viewer app, a bit like flipboard would better as a third party app, i'm always seeing the main website steemit getting 503 loading errors these days, not sure it could handle doing smart feeds unless it was all client side, the servers need some serious load balancing work moving forward if we want a million users here..
I don't think there's a main server for Steemit since its running on blockchain. There's definitely work to be done. Besides, Steemit don't seem to run well with third party app like Grammarly. I'm quite sure the developers are working hard to get the coding done right.
of course there is a server with steemit.com that does'nt live on the blockchain, it calls the data from the blockchain, but i've seen 503 errors which is normally load issues on the webserver end, imagine hundreds of thousands of people loading the webpage all at once. why would steemit run well with grammarly. it will not be designed for the way that text is displayed on steemit probably so the problem is not with steem it's with the plugin from grammerly. you could always just write in grammerly and come back to steemit to post.
hmm interesting. I didn't know that. Well, I'm not a programmer or coder but I'm interested in learning more about how webpages and the Internet works. Definitely learn something new here.
Having a list of most interested topics with personalized list is totally different. Yes with most popular lists you can attract the crowd but does not necessarily bring a great experience for all of your users. And as I said, algorithms with their data should be controlled by community so instead of it "feeding us" it will "curate for us"
