Let's discuss and rank wanted Steem features by posting one feature in each post, and upvoting top wanted features. Then automatically we will get the top wanted features for Steem.. And maybe some really good jokes :D

I would like to see parts of the website open-sourced: specifically the wallet management and transaction signing parts that I imagine are based on the plasma lib in graphene-ui. The websocket rpc library and the adapted ChainStore if there is one would be nice to have as well.

This would enable 3rd party developers to create new front-ends and even mobile apps using Javascript.

Fully agree with it!

Steem is not open-source?

  • 2FA including support for Yubikey
  • Account managment / key management
  • Balance tracking, historical information, etc.
  • Data, Data, Data!!

Avatars. They could even be stored in the blockchain as long as the image resolution and size are enforced!

In replying to this thread I was hit by a "You may only post once per minute" rate limit message. If it's possible, rate limiting could be variable. Higher limiting for low-vested Steem accounts, but higher vested accounts could have lower rate limits as it's less likely they'll spam all over the place.

A trending topic list. In addition to trending stories/posts, there could be a page, or a section on the front page, that shows trending topics of the day.

under "Responses" something like...
"Last response 15 minutes ago"

I'd love to see a feature that makes it possible for posters to publicly and/or privately specify other accounts that get the payout of the post.

A book Mark Feature

A Notification Button

Youtube video embedding

Better category/topic selection when submitting a new story/post. I like the idea of typing in the beginning of a topic and having it autofill like a Google search.

I would like it to default to the topic you are already in. Then autofill if you start to change it.

Post ideas in https://steemit.com/trending/steem-ideas or https://steemit.com/trending/steemit-ideas and let each individual idea get upvoted on it's own so they are not lost in comments. ;)

Optional reply notifications. If someone replies to your thread/post/story or one of your replies, you see a notification and a link to that reply. Having the option to opt out from these would also be good.

Yes, I was looking if anyone wanted this feature, I guess there are more people out there who want this feature on Steem.

can you get or buy private sub domains
steemit.com/steem/broadcastingname

so only accounts with a key can post/edit on steemit.com/steem/broadcastingname
steemit could be a good place for posting podcasts.

add website link/Bio on profile page

Maybe a way to link to the linkin, facebook etc

Better user "home page."
I'm thinking along the way MySpace used to work.
Give the user some control to highlight their favorite posts and favorite reposts.

  • Perhaps even grouping of posts within your home page.
    • That way I can write about several topics and people would have an easy way to see only posts in topics they are interested in.

Why?

  • This is the first time I've ran across @clains .
    • I clicked on your home page. Wow 770 posts. I'm not bored enough to scroll all the way to the bottom to see your introductory post. Maybe you've changed your mind, so have a way newer ThisIsMe type post.
      • I can't find it. But if you created your MyUserSpace, I could see what you want me to. And still have the option to scroll and scroll and scroll.

ps wowzer Nice wallet!

Enable Upvotes to grant access to exclusive content. I wrote about it here. https://steemit.com/steem/@pairmike/steem-upvotes-the-new-digital-distribution-platform

Post titles of more than 100 characters

  1. Boobs
  2. Everything else.

Hmm can we add a feature like sending private message to the person we want to chat? Or an app, a steemit app.

A pony

How about a way to specify if a post is Original Content or link, pic, video, gif, abstract? It doesn't really make sense to use the topics to differentiate those things, as they concern the properties of the content and not the content itself.

A way to undo the vote. I just clicked the wrong button. It supposed to be a up but I clicked down.

Yeah, been there :D
