RE: How STEEMIT Can Destroy Youtube And Facebook ~ From A Disgruntled Youtuber
I have to be a little bit critical for Steemit in this regard. We are still lacking a good notification system!
I would love to be able to make custom notifications based on different parameters. I want to have more choices for how to get notified, like email and push notification for my phone. Steemit is a blogging platform but we don't have even RSS feeds.
Currently users need to come to Steemit.com, log in and browse through their own feed to see who has posted what. If they are following a lot of people, it's really easy to miss some great posts if they don't check their feed for a little while, there is just too much to see. Now that we are getting more and more good content producers, problem is getting worse.
I think that will come. Also, Steemit is just the flag ship for the Steem blockchain. So, its like saying Steemit is an app for Steem. SteemQ will be another app for Steem. I think the end result will be to tie them altogether and notifications will be a part of that. I'll just be patient.
I've been here on Steem since the beginning. I've complained about this many times before but it seems that the devs don't understand how practical a good notification center would be for users. It took way too long to get even those red square notifications.
Authors like you would probably benefit a great deal if your audience would be able to get notified when you post new content. And users would benefit when they could modify how they will get notified for different things. It would be a big win for both sides.
