Our New, Hot, Trending and Promoted tabs show us filtering options by tags. Here's how I think we should build on that.
And with 'we', I don't mean 'me', but our tech savvy wonder workers who can code better than my simple copy/paste/edit skills.
I love the tag filters we can apply on our feeds. It allows us to find articles on the topics we find interesting. It's also great that we can sort them by Hot, Trending and Promoted (though I don't visit the last one very often).
I think there is still more we can do with the tags though and with the increase of users, I think this will become more and more important. Here are my ideas in an increasing order of implementation difficulty, as far as I can judge these things.
Home feed filtering between original posts and resteems
I like the Resteem option and I think it's a very kind thing of people to do. However, people have many different views on resteeming. Some resteem anything and everything and if I follow someone for their recipe posts, I don't necessarily want to see random resteems of sports posts (as an example). So I'd love to be able to filter out the resteems, so I can see the original content of the people I follow.
Home feed filtering by tag
The tags we now see displayed on our Home feed lead us to a list of trending topics on that particular tag. What I would like to see is that it leads us to a list of our own feed, filtered by tag. This would help us keep up with our topics of interest from our favorite authors.
Account page filtering
This would be a great feature to have on both my own account page as those of others. I write on a couple of different topics and it is currently a pain to scroll through my old posts, just to remember where I left things on certain topics. Filtering my own posts by tag would make things so much easier.
Also, as is already possible within busy.org, it would be great if we were able to filter out the Resteems on account pages aswell.
Account page sorting options
I would love to be able to sort my own posts by different stats. Sort by amount of upvotes, views, comments, payouts, that sort of thing. It would help me see what people enjoy the most. I understand this might be a tough question, because it might require all of my old posts to be pre-loaded. I'm not sure what technical tricks can be applied to this though, so I'm throwing it out there anyway.
How about you, what would you love to see on Steemit? And do you agree with my ideas?
