Ups, sorry about writing steemit inc. :)
I thought myself that the steemit UI is held back on purpose, but even with all the other interfaces around, I somehow always return to it and almost 2/3 of all posts are still from steemit.com You can see that behavior with busy.org and esteem, people post from there for the upvotes, for commenting they come back to steemit. Steemit will also always be the "main hub"'for account recovery and key management.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
That’s also because currently all links always (almost always) redirect to Steemit. It’s a nuisance to constantly change links to busy, although I try as often as possible.
Recently I started using relative links rather than absolute links to Steem contact but that means they don’t work in esteem and other apps. Or wouldn’t work in feed readers (if there were).
All SEO also goes to Steemit.com. There are no
canonicalsettings for apps so apps get hit by duplicate content penalty by Google for their own URLs.Lastly, as a busy and apps user, who am I to hijack someone’s experience and link to busy (or steemhunt) rather than to the Steemit post?
It’s difficult and lots of work still needs to be done before the user can enjoy a more flawless experience and app developers have (SEO/link) parity. Hopefully it will happen in a not too distant future. It would be a great evolution.
See, to adapt Big Sir's words from The Flash a little: Steem Inc. didn't let you down, rather they gave you the remembrance of what hope feels like :)
Hope is for adolescents and young adults who wish to get laid on the weekend.
It's all part of growing up 😅
