RE: 11 QUALITY-OF-LIFE UPDATES FOR STEEM - New features of @steempeak
Wow these look like some really good improvements!
The heartbreak icon for downvotes is an interesting one, better than "flag" for sure. Though I'm not sure displaying them with an emotionally loaded icon is useful either. I believe using downvote as a concept is much more accurate and more emotionally neutral.
Other than that concern I like a lot of what you're doing with this.
Yeah we went with Heart for "voting" because it's much more intuitive based on where people outside of steem are coming from. Then basically just went with an image that showed something opposite of that action. I myself made up the heartbreak thing. Sounds funny to me, can't really be sure about the emotional impact for a long while. BUT... that being said it's just an icon which can change. It just fits with the heart better.
Ah yeah I see the rationale. Are you the lead developer?
No that's @asgarth
