RE: 💬 Promoting WOX's Top Commenters
Sometimes, I think it would be nice if people revisit a post after all of the comments have been received as there's often some very interesting discussion that might get missed if you're the first person there.
It's true. It is a pity that Steemit has no bookmarks. This may allow you to quickly find the post you want to view for new comments. After seven days, these bookmarks could be deleted automatically. That would be convenient. But there is a function of bookmarks in the browser itself, but it is not so convenient, because these bookmarks are quickly accumulated a lot.
I wonder if with my new found coding skills I could write something which highlights older posts (5-6 days old) that have a lot of discussion from a variety of people. Another idea to add to the pile 🙂
It's great that you think so. It may be worthwhile to focus not on the number of comments, but on the number of words in the comments (in total), if possible. Even if one or two comments appear under the post, but larger than the post itself, these comments are likely to be interesting to read.
I can use the same criteria that I use for the top commenters 🙂 I've created a profile and written a script to assess the posts based upon certain tags (e.g. the World of Xpilar community tag) and ranks them based upon the number and length of each comment within a minimum set of boundaries.
It also only selects posts that are between 4 and 6 days old for them to be old enough to be low on the page and not so old that the payout's been missed.
I've pretty much written it (it generates the post content) - all I need to do now is generate a post title, the tags, do a calculation on when the profile last posted to that community and then get is to "broadcast" the post.
It's gonna be cool. @icymi - "In Case You Missed It" 🙂
Hopefully it will complement you Blogosphere Magazine (which will appear in my list) and I can also use it for tags across the whole of Steemit. So I can search for "football" and "soccer" and add in other tags, merge the lists together to get the top football posts - I could do this for sport, movies, travel... the deciding factor being that the post has received comments.
This is a great script👍! Now you can make such lists for any category. This is a cool idea. Alternatively, you can make lists for each community using the community tag.
I definitely missed it😃.
I like your ideas and the amount of those ideas. With you, Steemit becomes more interesting.
Thank you - I've written 2 examples already. The one I've posted is a compilation of football / soccer related tags which I'll post in World of Football and I've also written one for World Of Xpilar which I'll post later today. Because it takes posts that are "older" and over a 2 day period, it's designed to have to wait at least 2 days before posting in the same community.
I'm quite proud of it - it took most of the day yesterday to write the script. It doesn't require human intervention (although I'm checking the posts before they're posted for now) and upvotes all of the posts that are in the list.
It also provides a 20% beneficiary to whichever community's being posted in so hopefully the communities will support it too.
I'm proud of you too 😁 It is very good for Steemit and for all of us that you remembered that you are a programmer, not just a football fan, anti-plagiarist and blogger. But despite everything, I miss the gorilla blogger.
How far do you think you are now from writing a proposal? A month, six months, a year?
It's hard to say - I've got the components in place to know that rewriting the site is within my skillset so I need to decide how far to take the Proof of Concept. the-mrs-gorilla goes back to work tomorrow so I'll have some time to myself for the first time in 2 years which hopefully means I'll be able to do more.
I'm wondering if I should start hooking more pages together or focus my attention on the community page which I've already started. I'm finding the tag cloud so useful for finding content that I'm interested in, it'll be cool to be able to share it with others.
In my opinion, you should focus on the community page. Community pages are the most visited and needed. People are impatient by nature, so it would be good to finish, for example, a community page and show the result to the general public.
