Components
Hn materialistic is a hacker news open source andriod application which provides users with the convenience of browsing through Posting and viewing stories from top stories to best stories in a mobile application.
This contribution highlights the need for two important basic features.
Proposal
My proposal is the inclusion of two basic features to be added to Hn materialistic which are:
- (Re-blog) shared stories.
- Preview Tab when submitting to Hn.
The (Re-blog) shared stories act as a means which should be used for re-blogging or retweeting another user's article or post. This function should be implemented on every available article submitted to Hn by other users. The feature should be situated close to the comment icon before opening a story or news article.
The preview tab should be situated below the textbox when submitting to Hn. The preview tab is to help modify the platform where the user is working on by providing an outlook of the presentation of the article or post before submission to Hn.
Illustration to show positioning of the features are shown below.
Mockups / Examples
Here are some images to show presentation of proposed Suggestions.
Original Outlook of Shared stories
addition of (re-blog) shared stories icon
Also a seperate tab should be used to display the post and articles shared by a user from other users. Here's an image to show illustration.
- Original display of "Submit To Hn"
- addition of preview tab to "submit to Hn"
Benefits
- The Re-blog feature on the application makes it possible for a user post to be re-shared or re-blogged.
- This also helps promote the work of the original author because an inclusion of a re-blog feature helps broadcast certain particular posts to more audience.
- The preview tab provides users with the ability to cross-read and proofread their work before submitting to avoid grammatical errors.

@gutzygwin, we had a look at your contribution again regarding the app, the reblog shared feature is actually already in the app itself. As for the preview feature that you suggested, this will be considered trivial as it does not enhance great value to the app. To have suggestions accepted by Utopian, suggestions need to add great technical improvement to the app.
You are advised to always suggest things that will most probably have great impact on the project. Example of good contributions can be found here: https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@mattniblock/6bzrry-steemit-app-design-wireframes
