"People hit 'like' buttons all day. They spend hours writing comments under articles and videos. Thousands of people daily donate to content creators. They buy subscriptions. Always spending money. Hive offers them a better deal."

Unfortunately, I am not a developer and hold no coding skills, but I do have ideas from time to time that I think might make decent applications for the community - so, I will put some of them out into the space to see if anyone wants to have a go at building them.

The basic idea of Re:Quoted

Re:Quoted is an interface where users are able to submit quotes from authors they like, the funny one liners, the profound perspectives and the helpful words that support in a time of need - whatever it is that people find important enough to extract and save for others to benefit from.

There are several ways to do this and I am unsure as to what is best, but there has to be some accountability and checks in place to prevent misquoting and have a papertrail to context.

• A user can submit through a sign-in interface by filling in a form
  ** "Quote" - Name - Post/comment link - Tags
  This would mean that the submission is tracked (it can appear as "submitted by") and the quote itself can automatically be checked for accuracy against the original text, similarly to how a check for plagiarism works. It could also be that a quote or some part of a quote can only be submitted once.

• A user could submit the quote directly from the post
  ** The quote would be cut and past into the comment section and have a ! tag such as !Requoted and the information of author, post title and link and submitter can be extracted.

• An interface integration
  ** An interface like @peakd could integrate a "quote me" button of some kind that generates the form with prefills or automatically adds necessary information for submission. This makes it easy and painless for users by lowering the bar by reducing manual work. This would also mean that a user wouldn't need to have signed into Re:Quoted directly, they can just use the interface posting key. The interface could then add a page to the quotes or a search bar that can then find and then insert a quote into a post.

There could be rewards for creator/submission

For example,

• a beneficiary set where people can vote on the quotes and a portion goes to the author and the submitter.
• a regular post could be generated where the highest rated quotes appear and the payout gets split between them.

There can be searchable content tags

• Tags could be added manually to add context and group
• The full text can also generate a set of tags for keyword searches

This allows for improved grouping and UX and could be supported by popular categories for example.

Shareability

These can be shared out directly from the interface to other social media platforms, like Twitter and Facebook with links included to their author and source on Hive platforms. With attractive designs, these could be useful for sharing further through networks.

Discussion

There could be a comments section with a forum format where people are able to discuss the quote or the post it links to in a more specific manner, independent of the author themselves. It would also be a source for content inspiration and the identification of community relevant topic trends.

Reasons for Re:Quoted?

• A repository of consumable short-form content that leads to the long-form sources
• The discovery of contributors
• Clickable links that feed back directly to Hive from wherever they are shared
• Content that could be found useful and used externally from Hive
• A resource for internal collaboration where people use Hive sources of information easily
• A place to build quotable content around consistent contributors
• A place to create links to older content while opening a new payout window
• A potential earning point for consumers
• It encourages contribution of consumable content and better comments
• Proliferation of Hive links throughout the internet as gateways to Hive
• Developing "evergreen" content that can be revisited endlessly
• It could be administrated and useless and abusive submissions delisted and accounts blacklisted

There has been a push for short-form content and this could find a happy medium where one post can provide both short and long for context. It also allows for the many "one-liners" that appear daily on Hive to be collected together and have a home and a space for wider consumption.

I think it would be pretty cool to see Hiveans quoted around the internet in a way that looks professional and inviting for a viewer to click a link back in, to discover more about the content, the author and Hive. It also means that some of the leg work of advertising is made more user friendly and natural by coming into line with other shareable content forms.

This is just thoughts on this, so comments on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are welcome. If you are interested, please share it out also, as it might fall into the eyes of someone who wants to develop the idea into a working product, even an MVP would be nice to build from.

I am going to tag @themarkymark as you probably have some ideas around this and also @emrebeyler, as I think some of the code for AnonRamblings could be leveraged for this.
