- Guess Manual Curation is a dying profession on Steemit :(
- Lets revive this! Lets help those to become much more efficient in the task of manual curation! We need this on Steemit!

Can’t believe how much „Crap“ Is trending. It’s been really hard to curate manually. I stopped my autovoter and it’s nearly impossible to make enough. I hope my resteeming effort will help a little bit.
Thanks so much for your support. Am reaching out on many channels, including witness channels on Steemit.Chat. Some users already promised me to show my post to developers they know.
That’s good to hear because we really need more support for manual curation
Thanks! Lets see, so far some response from none technical people, but generally stating: the engineers I know, will not develop when not getting paid by the hour. My search continues :)
I also would need a tool to unfollow members who are not active. It’s a nightmare to scroll through every single one and check. My feed is clogged up that I can’t find my favourite authors anymore.
I agree. For some people, only 1 post is needed to make it to the trending page day after day. Even if they repeat themselves! Sometimes I wonder why these posts get trending every time. It makes no sense to me and I can't figure out why. I think it is a great thing, in my opinion, you stopped autovoting.
True, there's so much noise on the trending section. Do we know how posts get there?
Circle jerks or people who have powerful voter friends.
12 views is maybe due to the fact that, at this moment, there are many 'pingers' ... they come, ping their content and go .. and they follow others in the hole of being followed ... (not because they like the content) .. this is (almost) a generation thing ...
Most people don't look into their HOME channel, or their HOME channel is clogged with too many posts since many Steemians follow hundreds to thousands of Steemians :) or better said :(
My home channel is a big mess but it’s too time consuming to sort it out.
Correct, and it is quite blunt to unfollow users, and beside that even more important a user you follow can post great posts and also not so great posts, or on multiple topics of which you maybe interested only in a subset of the topics. The MUTE button is to harsh IMHO and will exclude users from being detected at any time in the future. Hence, we need personalised filtering capabilities. When not provided by the main Steem blockchain interfaces, then as a separate tool; At least that is my opinion :)
This is also my opinion. I unfollowed some but feel bad. The same way I feel bad when I find somebody who unfollows me. Anyways we need MORE helpful tools as you wrote in your previous post.
It's not. We, curators, adjust. I strongly recommend you try and get this done through @utopian-io . All the good developers are there, and the platform rewards them for their efforts.
I would love to use Utopian, but unless I'm mistaken, when I launch a new project on Github, I'm required to have CODE in it to be considered by Utopian. Even when it concerns a BLOG, SUGGESTION or even TASK REQUEST contribution. So, please give me hints how I can get Utopian support without having CODE for this project I'm proposing.
I am still learning myself. I am not a programmer but a content writer and marketer. So I plan to help utopian bridge the gap between people with ideas and open source developers. Until I figure it all out, I recommend you pop over to the utopian discord and simply ASK. Alternatively, I'll send it to one of my significant others and ask if he wants to code it. Or start to.
Are we talking about a website or a browser plug-in? Because there is Steemit Plus (I think) that attempts to offer some filtering options on steemit, but it's pretty buggy.
The tool needs to be very efficient and needs to perform while it needs to search and filter a large database (the Steem blockchain). I think the tool will need to have a witness node, to have local copy of Steem blockchain + backend processing + frontend. The frontend can be anything, eg webservices, or desktop tool. My preference is a desktop tool with local Steem blockchain as an option so curators can take their laptop offline and still curate. But that will require a lot of resources in terms of HDD, but it will limit the amount of resources required serverside. All that said, I'm a product manager and know what it means to develop high performant software tools, but I'm not an software architect/developer at all, so I will have to leave it with those who are experts in creating fast/reliable software tools.
I think you really should ask the guys at utopian how to make this happen. Because I need a tool like that in my life.
Utopian don't take requests .. they take already-developed-tools ... there are parts where contacts may be established though ...
I thought so indeed, but still, left a message in the general HELP section of Utopian at Discord.
Thanks :)
Yes! We need such tool to beat Autovoters and find good content. Too many great new authors vanish too fast otherwise.
