Steemit is great. And yes, I know it is beta. I'm not complaining.
I more exercising my idea muscle. Here are my ideas.
1. Profile photos: We post picture in the intoduction posts and I see my FB picture as I write. It would be quick to being able to see profile pics.
2. A Follow Thread: A thread of only those that I have followed.
3. Trending topics--not just trending posts.
4. Profile pages: Pages where we can post our favorite posts and where Steemit shows our most popular posts. Also a place to write a bio. Maybe this could be another place to earn cash.
5. Hiding topics: There are topics that I just don't care about. It would be great to remove those, and then I am more apt to upvote other posts.
6. Static tool bar-We all need a static tool bar at the top of the editor.
7. An FAQ on Markup Language--I admit it. I don't completely understand the Markup language. If there was an accessible FAQ, I would learn it.
8. Interest Groups: Create groups around an interest, that way I can support people with the same intersts.
9. NSFW--Have a button to detemine a post to be NSFW if it isn't already tagged. I don't mean this as a downvote, but there needs to be a way to quickly do this as opposed to "Please, add NSFW tag."
10. Notifications: I've seen a few posts about this, and I agree. Send me a notification when someone upvotes me, or replies to a post or comment.
Again, for those running this thing. These aren't complaints, I am well aware this is still being worked out. I am just exercising my idea muscle and hopefully spurring some ideas.
What would you add?
