RE: AskSteem v1.2 "Angelfish" Update

in #asksteem7 years ago

Hey, @thekyle. Upvoted! and resteemed!

  • Thank you very much for such a great tool. @biophil introduced me to asksteem.com a week ago, and since then, I use it a lot.

  • Steemit lacks a good search engine. Google search is not good enough. It has many shortcomings. AskSteem is helping a lot to fill this gap. Moreover, AskSteem can serve as an archive for steem. Steemit does not have history. So, you can use AskSteem for that.

  • However, I think it is not getting the support it deserves from Steemit and the community. I am sure that running such a service is costing a lot. So, instead of being rewarded for your efforts, you are probably spending some money.

  • AskSteem is great. Yet, it is still not perfect. I have some suggestions based on my experience with it:

1- We need a GUI for advanced search. most steemians are not technical, and they would not be able to use many of the advanced features. So, a GUI would be very much appreciated.

2- Until that is ready, please put a cheat sheet on the site.

3- We need to specify if the search is in a post or in a comment. Sometimes, I want to search only in comments.

4- We need to be able to use (>= and <=) with dates. currently you can specify a fixed day or a range.

5- We need to be able to search by reward amount.

6- We need sorting options. Sort by: relevance, date, votes, author_reputation, ... etc.

Again, thanks a lot for such a great tool.

Thanks for the feedback. An advanced search page has been a commonly requested feature so its definitely on the to-do list. The AskSteem API already supports sorting by specific fields so it should not be too difficult to add that functionality to the Web UI.
