RE: Busy.org new-design: Call for Private Beta testers!
I don’t think I’ll jump in the beta, there are some big features not yet implemented and there are many more patient testers than I! However this is looking amazing! I think this could easily be my new front end on release...
Any talk or designs for filtering content from apps like Zappl or Steepshot and placing it in its own area/widget? I’d love to see functionality like this. It’ll soon be needed to keep feeds coherent and manageable, but I’d love to have a portal for the most used Steem services all in one place.
Keep up the great work!
thank your for your support. We will give many updates on the incoming enhancements and hope to have you on board soon.
Any idea of big features you want as priority ?
For filtering content and custom feeds or widget, we changed to design to add some sidebars area which allow tons of possibilities to display/filter contents. There are already few ideas that actually covers your request but it wont be implemented any time soon.
We will also probably allow creation of 3rd parties app embed in Busy. Any developer will be able to create its own app with specific features and be integrated into the platform, just like some Facebook Apps are available to the users.
Actually, looking over the feature lists you posted, I may give it a try soon! It’s really just the lack of downvote, user blocking, and vote slider that would keep Busy from being fully functional for me at the moment. Obviously wallet integration is big, but I do use Vessel for most of my wallet management.
Glad to hear the thought process on widgets and filtering. I do think it’s important to address as soon as possible, as differently themed front ends proliferate.
I’d love to see reward splitting options available when posting, especially with a nice UI that perhaps applies badges (pulling relevant avatars) clearly showing readers where rewards are headed. It’s common in so many scenarios that users pledge liquid rewards to other accounts, causes, etc. I’d love to see these practices make use of the abilities of the blockchain to be guaranteed, automated, and secure.
Let me ask you guys a question, could people vote to make your posts invisible on this platform as well, or is it truly a decentralized Twitter?
First of all, content will always be on the blockchain so theres no censorship. Secondly, apps can white-out flagged posts, but again upvotes and downvotes are by the community and not decided by one person. So in that sense, its quite decentralised. As for twitter, theres just the one company that can decide.
I understand, but could they white-out on Busy too?
Sure, any front-end can determine what users do or do not see. But in the end, as the open-source code that underlies front-end development proliferates, users will be able to gravitate towards services which align with their needs and values. In the future we should see competition among applications for users that wish to access the Steem blockchain, much like individual websites compete for our use and attention on the internet today.
They could, but I don't think they are currently.
Ahh...
