These are my 11 favorite NEW updates by @steempeak that make STEEM way more enjoyable on STEEMPEAK.COM
Some of these are just new to SteemPeak and some of these are new to any Web Browser interface for Steem.
I'm just gonna list 11 of the newest that I have enjoyed and wanted to share.
OLD NEWS?
If you're on discord you probably already know about these things.
We try to keep users up to date over on the SteemPeak Discord
But these are my favorite new small updates that
1. SLIDESHOW OF ALL PICTURES
SCROLL THROUGH ALL THE PICTURES!!
Turn this feature on in settings.
This is perhaps one of the coolest things for this Photographer... I do long posts with lots of pictures at the very least I'd love people to see them. Also I am much more likely to see a lot more pictures because of this. And I can bookmark the post if i want to read the post later.
2. SAVED USERS
This is a small feature that compliments the Saved Topics feature which has been a big hit. You know if you're the person who's constantly going to an account and having to type it in. Well now you have a faster method. Save the user and have a fast easy access. It's a small but frequently used feature.
3. FILTER OUT RE-STEEMS
You may want them or you may not... at least you have the choice now.
We all have accounts we love and we want to support and we follow which happen to resteem a ton!! Sometimes we like seeing the new content they bring us and sometimes we just want to see content from the accounts we follow.
This is our most recent feature by request from a user on discord @r00sj3 ... I've been bothered at times but didn't think to ask. I guess the moral of the story is get on the discord and at least ask.
4. UPLOAD PICTURES IN REPLIES + Other reply editing features
This is a staple of Steem... we were a little late getting it in there.
To a photographer this isn't just a quality of life improvement this is a necessity.
I help run @photogames and this sort of option is almost a requirement. So I'm glad we go this on there.
Right now it's just on replies to a post. It will gradually improve but the basics are there.
5. SEEING THE "HEART BREAK"
These are representations of flags in a more intuitive fashion. As for flagging itself it's on the roadmap (no requests yet, so we focus on other things).
Because we went with the more universally recognized HEART as the way to interact with a post. (dedication to intuitiveness for new users)
We therefore went with the Broken Break for what steem calls "flagging" I like to call it a "HeartBreak"
The ability to quickly and easily view the heartbreak right there on the post and it's actually really insightful and intuitive for users.
Never given or recieved a steem "heartbreak" but can always see some over on @berniesanders
SIDE NOTE:
I'm enjoying the new terminology (like "Heartbreak" which i just thought was funny) but the symbols and even maybe the term heartbreak is actually way more intuitive than "Flagging" ... and we are trying to make Steem through @SteemPeak more intuitive for new users there are so many terms and ideas users don't understand even after weeks using the platform.
Please let us know which aspect of Steemit confused you when you first started! We'd love to know.
6. SORTING COMMENTS
This one was a couple weeks ago but worth sharing here in case you didn't know.
In that case you did something awesome and have a TON of comments you now have 4 ways to sort them.
Now the question is... which way are you most likely to sort? Reward is default but you interested in any of the others?
7. TEMPLATES: A SPECIAL FORM OF DRAFTS
Ok this one is cheating... this isn't just a quality of life improvement this is pretty much a full on new feature. BUT... I thought i'd add it here because it's so awesome. Also this shows how everything is located in one POST related drop downs.
Best way to think of a template is as a post that is used to make other posts and in and of itself can't be posted. Those who need it know how awesome this is
8. PROFILE CLICKABLE
Previously the top right focused on being a drop down to access other cool features. Changing it to be clickable is a very small thing, however it is intuitive to most of the internet that it works this way. So if you think of other intuitive things that will make life simpler on a new user let us know.
9. WATCH VIDEOS IN THE FEED
You can watch Dtube videos right from the feed. YouTube coming soon.
This basically means you don't have to go into the post... specially when many video posts are only the video.
10. FILTER THE WALLET
You can let your wallet activity load and then filter by type and then you can even filter that info even more by text.
Loading the activity does take some time and we will make this even more intuitive in the future
11. FULL POST INSIDE OF FEED
That's right there's an option to EXPAND and be able to see the whole post without having to leave your FEED.
YOUR HELP
We have not promoted SteemPeak very much in the 3 weeks since launch. We've been able to expand features and fix errors without the pressure of tons of users. Now we're ready for the primetime. And @asgarth has a consistent track record of responding to requests and bug reports in an insanely fast fashion. so... We're Ready for the Limelight.
