Today we released a bonus feature we’re calling the “Coin Marketplace” which will now appear below the "Updates Log" in the sidebar. We know that one of the most common reasons why people leave steemit.com is so that they can check the price of STEEM and their other favorite coins. For that reason we decided to give our users the ability to check those prices right from steemit.com.
Improving Steemit.com
One of our priorities right now is developing a roadmap for improving steemit.com, one component of which will likely be how to better integrate community code contributions. But in the meantime, we wanted to begin adding features to the site that we were reasonably confident would be of value to users. Steemit.com has become the central hub for people interested in all kinds of different crypto projects. To quote @birdinc, it's "The Front Page of Crypto." Now those people will be able to stay on top of their favorite coins without having to leave steemit.com .
Just the Beginning
As of now the Coin Marketplace feed will feature STEEM, SBD, BTC, ETH, and XRP, but next we intend to allow users to click through the feed into a page that lists the top 200 coins. But what do you think? Leave your feedback below.
