@blueorgy and I have been quite busy trying to improve the Steemit Worldmap. I've decided to make a short summary of the latest updates here. Because of all these updates you may have to reset your cache (ctrl + f5 on a windows computer).
Automatic steemitworldmap code
It's an idea that wasn't really in our todo-list, but I noticed a lot of users were still struggling with adding the code correctly inside their post. What this means is that I made a miscalculation in the user-friendliness of the Steemit Worldmap. I go more in depth about that in my problems from a developers POV post!
I figured it was about time I did something about that, so I've pretty much spend the whole day coding a little nifty feature. From now on you will see a little switch at the bottom of the Steemit Worldmap. Once you swap over to "code", you will get an empty map. You can click anywhere in the map, add your short description and voila, the Steemit Worldmap code will be generated for you. Clicking it copies it to your clipboard, so all you have to is paste it in your post!
FAQ section
We noticed that there was no "How to" or anything alike available on the website. Expanding a bit on that idea, we have now added a FAQ section. For now it holds some information about Steemit and a little "How-to"-section. Over time other FAQs will be added.
Image loading
Images used to load painfully slow if they weren't cached. We've applied a whole bunch of fixes in order to improve this, on average you can expect images to now load give or take four times as fast.
Updated auto-comment
In order to get more people to use the Steemit Worldmap, we have added a little manual how-to section to the bot-comment. This should get some curious steemians to try it out, and I can't wait to indulge in more amazing content!
Bugfixes
There was a bug where when users would put quotation marks in their description their post would not get added to the Steemit Worldmap, this issue has now been resolved.
