This suggestion is to cover 3 minor User Interface implementations which can be made to the Profile Pages of Steemit users for a positive benefit to user interactions on Steemit itself, all while not interfering with any integral functions of Steemit which may lead to complications.

They are very simple implementations which I believe any Steemian can agree with (let me know in the comments if not) and would positively impact the overall User Experience and User Interface of Steemit.

1) Separate Resteem Tab

---

This implementation is extremely simple to implement, while yielding vastly underestimated positive impact. With the current situation, any post that gets resteemed, it is injected in the user’s personal profile’s feed.

I'd say that it would be relevant enough a tab to be placed second on the tab list.

Many users are aversed to resteeming as would like their content to be congruent or not to drown out their own content with resteems of other users. If I come accross 5 posts today, which I sincerely feel deserves more attention, a grand total of 0 of them will be getting my resteem. I would not risk flooding my own profile feed with other user’s content and have a potential follower not follow because they landed on my profile and saw other people’s content and completely missed out on the content that I created.

I know for a fact that I am extremely averse to resteeming any post though I may very well want to and I believe the sentiment stands for most Steemians. It simply messes up my personal feed too much.

With a separate tab for resteems, the only change that would happen would be resteemed posts falling into a separate tab while the resteemed post is still propagated to followers of the resteemer just the same.

With this implementation, I can imagine myself resteeming deserving authors multiple times a day, but not before it stops being injected into my personal feed. With this implementation, I expect resteeming to be more common and for more good content to be found by a wider audience.

I cannot begin to count the sheer amount of good content that I have passed without resteeming simply because I would not let it interrupt my own feed.

2) Pinned Post

---

Pinned posts are apparent in very many platforms including Facebook Pages. We all have that one post that, above all other posts, you’d like anyone who may be interested in your content to see. This simple implementation would provide that solution.

There is an aversion to writing extremely high quality content on Steemit as it doesn’t take to long before your post, no matter how impactful in the moment, will be lost to wind and never to be seen again. This would at the very least, provide an additional reason for extremely high quality content to be created knowing that it may be pinned and stay relevant.

Or even an introductory post which lets user who are new to you know what you are about in it’s entirety of which they may be able to find right at the top of your profile page before they continue to any of your posts.

3) User Categories

---

This concept was first created by Pinterest with boards of which you could pin posts, which was relevant to your board. Instagram has a similar implementation called Categories, which acts in virtually the same manner.

User categories allows for the sorting of the often times mass amounts of posts each individual user has as is. Active users post an average of once every 1-2 days on Steemit. Spend no more than 60 days on Steemit, and the the nuggets of gold you wrote on day 3 will basically never see the light of day unless the odd person scrolls down your feed 4 pages deep and finds it.

The regular Steemian does not usually post on a singular subject all the time. More often, Steemians are posting on 3-4 subjects which interest them.

This allows for ease of other users to find content based on genres which helps other users find the content that you have posted which interests them, without having to sort through your feed of 3 out of 4 irrelevant posts to the user to find the 1 out of 4 relevant ones.

Categorizing Series

It is common-found on Steemit for posts to be part of an ongoing series of which may constitute quite a number of posts. Given the nature of how posts have a lifespan of about 3 days before all view stop completely, authors are more prone to segregate their content into smaller segments and post them as a series.

In my personal case,I am currently doing a 28 day water fast,of which I post about once a day.

I would very much like to have the option to link someone to a singular page where at the end, I could link to anyone who is interested to learn about my journey through 1 link which links to 1 page with all 28 posts, and not have to scroll down 3 pages of my feed just to find each individual day.

More In-depth Way to Share and Curate Posts

User Categories can also be an extremely effective means of curation of highly subject specific posts. This allows you, just like Instagram and Pinterest, to curate genre-based posts onto your own user categories alongside your own content, or separately, depending on your personal sorting preference.

Users can categorize any post they find in to any of their personal categories.

This allows other users to find categories which they cater to their specific interest and find a huge list of high quality posts on the specific subject.

There should no limit on how many lists a user may create, but of course, due space constraint on the bar itself, I'd suggest that a user may elect 3-4 categories to be listed on the bar and the rest to be accessible through a drop down menu
