I've been a member here for a few weeks now and I have never had so much fun on social media. The last update caught me by surprise and the Feed was a great addition to the platform. It got me wondering what else the development team might have in store for us and what kind of features I would like to see on Steemit. Here are 4 things on my wishlist:
The ability to save content
Reddit, for example, gives users the ability to save content that they enjoyed. It's pretty bare-bones and there's no way to sort it, which makes it pretty useless. I'd like to see a save feature on Steemit that would allow you to not only save your favorite content but also the ability to categorize it to the user's liking.
Friend-list, Add or Request Friendship
We now have the ability to create a feed of users we follow. That is great but it would be a benefit if there was a feature to create a friend-list and add or request users we interact with to join it. It's a great way to encourage community building among the user-base.
Direct messaging
I would love to see in the future, a direct messaging feature. I've met some interesting people so far and it would be great to be able to message people I have added to my friend-list. Of course, there probably would need to the ability to 'block person' so that users could cut off unwanted, direct communication.
Profile Pictures
When I first signed up the account icon was my Facebook profile picture. I've noticed that it has gone away and I wasn't sure if people could actually see it, or was it just for my eyes only. In any case, adding a picture or icon to be displayed when you submit or comment on content is a great way to personalize ones account and I have a feeling this is in the works.
