Sugarsteem: A more personalized Steem experience UI

sugarsteem (38) in introduceyourself • 7 years ago

Welcome to SugarSteem - a more personalized Steem experience.

I have designed over 200 interfaces for clients of 15 years. I’ve been on steemit / busy platform for about 3 months now and have found so many conflicts with understanding how the platform works, to onboarding, to retaining user adoption and returning as a user consistently.

After such troubles and rage quits I decided to design, write and explore a new series to help better the community here. In doing so I met @aggroed, @patrice, and @themarkymark who provided the encouragement to use my skill set to best the community. While doing so I realized my talent began with site auditing steemit.com... After a week or so, I began a redesign series under my name @theuxyeti

The redesign series is a series that keeps me sharp in design by challenging industry standards for UI and UX while polling the community to understand how best to redesign the social platform to maximize ease of use, adoption, retained users, and consistency in content. After realizing the UI was built in react and my dev friends knew the language I've decided to take the redesign series "FULL STEEM" and build the UI on the platform.

If you'd like to participate, comment, discuss, assist in design, assist in development, build, criticize or support I would love to meet you.

Hey there! Seems it's coming along so nicely! I'm very excited to follow along with the progress.

I have 3 questions:

Will there be a referral program (e.g. like busy)
Will there be a big fee to use it?
Are you making any changes to the EDITOR interface? I noticed busy did some upgrades like including drafts. I've yet to find one interface that has lots of great editing features in one though. For instance:

Drafts
Save Post Templates
Emoji
Insert Html Symbols
Signature and Header insertion
Saving code snippets to insert anywhere
WYSIWYG button upgrades for all supported features like tables, image alignment, subtext, supertext, rules, math, etc.
Slider when self upvoting only a % upon publishing
Alternative image upload (e.g. imgur, google drive or something)

Just curious.

Looking good - I particularly like the metrics on the left and the Save for Later button.

Not sure personally I would bother with the grid view - too space inefficient for me.

Will this be free to use, or will you be taking a benefactor percentage?

theuxyeti (64) · 7 years ago

eh im going to build both views. its good for certain reasons. It will be a free UI to access and use. I will be taking a benefactor percentage, it will be low though. 3 months of work on my end along with weekly maintainence, feature updates and hosting, traffic etc... That IS the plan. This UI wont be cheap to make, but definitely worthwhile in the end for all users to enjoy. Once i can determine my costs for the build, i can more accurately answer that, but that was the plan all along to really build something beautiful for the community.

Things are looking good. I hope this ends up being a worthwhile project for you. Any help from Steemit itself? Also, what about Communities? Will your site design account for whatever they're doing on their end? Seriously would hate for all your work to be wiped out if they manage to do a UI update before you're done, or shortly thereafter.

theuxyeti (64) · 7 years ago

eh... no idea what they are doing. there will always be more dogs running to the bowl. Im not in a rush to compete with the other UI's to get there first. I already know mine will cater to a great number of users, and theyd have to adapt their framework to meet mine. Id rather have another tool that the community can use to access the content.

You've really given my multi-tasking brains something to think about.
Already thought of something that would be very handy.

Customized with your username links to the very handy steem connected sites such as
- steemworld
- steemnow
- steemd
- steemsupply
- ...
  - This would be handy from my logged in page
    and also when looking at someone else's profile page...
