Steemdesk: Suggest to Add Important Words Used: Visual Word Cloud of 7 Days

Contribution to the new open source project - Steemdesk

Components

Steemdesk is a new open source platform displaying different activities of any Steemit users. All you need to do is to type in the user's name and it shows different activities of a user, like followers, number of posts, whom they have delegated SP, etc.

• Github: https://github.com/cutemachine/SteemDesk
• Website: https://www.steemdesk.com/

I have been using the Steemdesk lately (especially the delegating tab) and love this platform. The desk is supposed to show you important information of any Steemit users. Along this line, I want to continue to help the project owner to put in more unique information of Steemit users to attract more people to use this new platform.

Proposal

I want to suggest a useful TAB: Word Cloud in Last 7 Days

When we click on this TAB, it will take us to a new page with the following information:

• Since the idea of steemdesk is to show information of users, showing the kinds words of a Steemit blogger will give us an indication of his content.

• For convenience, I propose to limit the word cloud to only 7 days.

• This will give us an idea of the kind of content the users use in their postings and what he/she likes to blog about.

• We don't really need statistics - ie. the exact numbers of the frequencies of words used, therefore I propose a visual word cloud format.

• Word cloud is used great only the net to show the 'dominant' topics of any article. Furthermore, the cloud format creates a visual format that everyone likes to read and examine.

Mockups / Examples

Step 1. Add an Extra Tab: 'Word Cloud'

• Go to the Home page and add an extra Tab on the left side menu board

---

Step 2. A New Page Opens Up for you to key in username

• When people click on the 'Word Cloud' Tab, it will take them to this page with the following headig:

• Since Steemdesk purpose is for us to find information for any steemit user, I will use myself as an example and key in my username: @rosatravels

Step 3: Visual Graph of Word Cloud will show up for this user

• The following is an example of what a word cloud visual graph looks like

By looking at the visual word cloud, you can gather the kind of words I use in my post and what the content I've been posting in the last 7 days:

• from here you can see 'notes' 'clef' 'method' 'music' 'steepshot' 'Cappadocia' stand out
• it is true because I post a lot of tutorial video on Reading Music Notes.
• Also, you see Steepshot as I use that site a lot showing pictures of Cappadocia
• You also see 'steemdesk' there but I don't post a lot about steemdesk but enough to be counted in these 7 days.

Step 4: Find Word Cloud of another user: utopian-io

• Since steemdesk allows us to type in any user name, we can just type in their Steemit name to gather information about them.

• Looking at 'utopian-io', obviously words like 'contribution', 'contributions', 'vote', 'utopian', 'project' would appear as the most used words in their last 7 posts.

• Less used words like 'crowdin', 'accepted', 'rules' 'moderators' etc are also their concern content in their postings.

Benefits

• This visual word cloud is easy to look at so it is nothing boring like dead statistics.

• Furthermore the visual cloud will help us see the major topics of any users in the last 7 days

• These key words popping up will help us see what our 'followers' post about. All we need to do is to just key in their username.

• We can see everything in one flash without analyzing dead numbers.

Conclusion

I truly believe having this technical aspect into the platform will enhance the platform to a great extent. Users want to come in here to get information more quickly and effectively. By showing the Visual Word Cloud in the last 7 day postings, everything can be seen in one flash. This will then draw more people to use the platform.

Thank you for your attention,

Rosa
