Proposals for Future Steemit Features

in steemit •  9 years ago  (edited)

I've noticed there's some new sub sections on my Steemit profile page. It gave me some ideas of my own for the future.

First, it'd be nice to be able to see how much voting power you have left for the day without going to Steemstats. I see a lot of new users that haven't bothered to read the Whitepaper (I was the same at first) are just upvoting willy-nilly hoping to make a quick buck. They don't realize that after too many votes they're depreciating posts and their value. Please don't do this.

Second, an add friend-to-group option. I've got a fair few friends on here now that I'd like to add into a group. We've made a group on Facebook but it'd be nice to see a group option here that we can add each other too, click on, and see everyone in the group with their latest post. I know it's not really within the borders of Steemit's guidelines or even a blog for that matter but it'd be nice.

Third, a save post option. It'd be nice when scrolling through posts if we could save our favorites. Other people would be able to see what posts we've saved too. It could look like a little floppy disk underneath the flag symbol.

Lastly, a chat box. I know it's a big ask but it's starting to get cumbersome swapping back and forth from Steemit to Facebook to Slack in order to answer Steemit related questions. It'd be nice, especially with the group feature I suggested, if we could chat between ourselves. Even a help chat box where support could answer our questions. I'd be more than happy to join a support group. I know we already have them on Slack but it'd be nice if we integrated it here.

Some of these features have already been suggested but I'm writing this hoping that it helps Devs to decide exactly what's most popular and where they want to go. I've got a hundred other ideas I could throw out there but I've only said the ones I think we urgently need now.

Add your own ideas below.

Peace & Love,
Sensei

Some great ideas, kudos!

Thank you for the information! I'm new on here and there's a lot to learn! I didn't realize that upvoting could make a posts worth depreciate, or much about running out of power. I did, however read the white page. I hope some of the ideas are applied!

All quite reputable and rewarding suggestions, really!

Maybe instant messages between users, but with an accept or decline button.
