New Promotion System and Other Improvements

[peakd]

A new release of peakd.com is now available. Keep reading for the full list of changes and improvements ;)

The new release is now live at https://peakd.com

1. New Post Promotion System

The main change introduced with this release is the new Post Promotion System. The new system has more options and some new rules. To better highlight the changes we are going to publish a detailed post in the next few days.

But you can already try the new system and share feedback. Also please remind that we are still doing some adjustments here and there so some small changes are to be expected.

2. Layout improvements in the Publish page

To accomodate the increasing number of options and features available in the Publish page the layout has been slightly changed.

Now there is a menu at the top of the page that can be used to access some of the features available in the post editor.

Also you can now open the 'Snippets' popup from the editor toolbar:

3. Improved layout on smaller tablet

The website layout has been improved for smaller tablet. An huge thanks to @espoem for his help on this.

4. Some minor improvements and bug fixes

As always some minor fixes and improvements across the website. You can check the full release notes here: https://peakd.com/about/changelog.

Support the @peakd / @steempeak projects

Now is probably a nice time to remind you of the ways you can support the development of @peakd.

We have a proposal on the Decentralized Hive Fund. You can review the proposal here.
If you agree to the proposal and you think the points mentioned add value to the Hive Blockchain consider supporting it using the above links or directly with this link.

---

We also run a witness server to help produce the blocks for the Hive Blockchain. You can vote for our witness so we are in a position to process more of them.

Vote on the witness page: https://peakd.com/witnesses

• Using Keychain: You just have to click and approve the transaction
• Using HiveSigner: You'll need access to confirm the transaction with your Active Key at least

As usual, you guys really impress. Hats off to some very solid work.👍

[shmoogleosukami]

Awesome, looking forward to the new post about the new promotion system.

[engrsayful]

Summary useful and necessary changes. Some of those were must needed like snippet issue. Let's try the promotion feature. Thanks for changes

[bradleyarrow]

Awesome sauce 👍

[brittandjosie]

I am always glad to see work is still being done to improve and get more benefits of posting with peakd, will go now and try

[livinguktaiwan]

I was wondering where my snippets had gone!!!

[jarvie]

In two places now

[espoem]

I've got a few requests to make:

1. Allow not to load comments at a post by default. There is a threshold of 200 comments (or so) when the comments are not loaded by default. It would be interesting to have it configurable so that one could even disallow default comment loading altogether and load them on button click.
2. When a post is opened in a modal, the URL changes for the post, but apparently it isn't set in the history. Going back, however, doesn't close the post modal it makes one more step back than I would like to see after closing the modal. It may be more obvious for Android tablet users.

Great work as always.

Nice to see you around

[marielopez]

Good

[codingdefined]

Awesome work as always

Steemconnect? Not Hivesigner?

[peakd]

Fixed the wording... probably an old snippet was used.

The CoinGecko price feeds seem to be gone from the Wallet page. Just a glitch?

[peakd]

It did seem to be down for a bit.

[preparedwombat]

What seems strange is that a few days ago it looked like this:

but now it’s not there at all.

I guess what I’m asking is whether it’s a “bad feed” glitch coming from CoinGecko (which might explain those 0.000 numbers), or if it is instead some glitch on the PeakD end.

[zacknorman97]

Awesome updates, and very well done! I love the UI of the post editor, and now it's even better :-D

[jarvie]

Post with more information about promotions is coming... first we're working on some UI bugs with the community promotions... but turning on promotions for your community is working if an admin goes to the community settings.

[justinashby]

Yay! Frikin' sweet!😀

[cmplxty]

Thanks for the update I will have to check out the features but I’m most excited about the joined date tat I requested! Thanks guys, as always, for the constant work you’re doing to be the best front end!

[asgarth]

Oh sorry, forgot to mention that change :D

[namnouha]

Thank u so much for ur efforts

[stayoutoftherz]

Sorry, off-topic, but I wanted to change my keys using peakd and I got repeatedly an error message when I wanted to apply them, that the format of the keys which were generated would not have the right format (but I didn´t change anything).
Thought you would be interested to know.
