Can someone just make it? It shouldnt be too hard. Its just a couple hundred hours of grueling dev work.
I really dont know how you guys do it. Coming in every day and managing to think up a bunch of stuff to write about in 500+ word posts, and not make it feel repetitive.
Guys like Taskmaster and Tarazkp must be robots lol.
Unlike them I need someone to do something completely crazy so i have the drive to write something compelling.
Maybe i have the wrong mindset here. Maybe not everything has to be a "blockchain literary achievement". Maybe we could find a way to create a space for a microblogging platform on HIVE.
What if the dapp that decides to do that on HIVE simply had a max:payout option?
Max 280 characters and max $X payout and once SMTs launch on HIVE it can distribute any amount of their respective SMT they want.
It would work and it would be used by Hivers if the sign-in wasnt too asinine (user unfriendly)..
Make me a HIVE Twitter, im too illiterate to make it on @peakd. 😂
Were you around in the days of Zappl? That was “Twitter for Steem” back in the day. Unfortunately the team seemed more focused on fundraising than development and it folded. Think I still have some worthless tokens I purchased in my bitshares wallet!
I agree Twitter & Instagram style content should be embraced. I think one of the best approaches to propel such projects forward is to refine the displays on hive.blog, PeakD, and other “core” Hive sites that are more long form focused. These front ends should potentially not show content from dApps geared toward a radically different format, have it be a user toggle preference, or create a widget style feed/homepage which separates out blog/pic/microblog/Actifit, etc. into respective containers, sidebars, footers and such.
I do like having a “one stop” site for all my Hive needs, but the uncontrolled mingling of content types and posting cultures creates a lot of unnecessary friction in content sorting, discoverability, and user interaction.
You put perfectly. It is how I get pissed off with running into Appics posts on Steem. Perhaps a parallel space or something like what Musings.io tried to science by making everything into one long ass thread that won't make any sense if you don't use the dapp
Id say it should show the content in a different manner. Even as we speak @peakd has "communities", "topics" which is the "ex" trending page, "favorites", "your feed" etc. It could simply add a new content category related to "microblogging". @asgarth, could this work?
Why do we even need a community for micro blogging? I really enjoy micro blogging rather than a 1500 text wall. People shouldn't hesitate to posts stuff that they enjoy on their blogs even if it's a 50 word text that makes one "feel" something.
Do you feel that a 100 word posts doesn't deserve rewards / good rewards or something?
I didnt mean a community for microblogging. I meant that a frontend would present the microblogging dapp as a "new content category".
I personally feel that frontends like peakd should do exactly that. Offer multiple choices for what content a user might like. A sort of portal to crypto social media.
There is a place for everything. Categorization is essential as well as a system where comparison in value of certain content genres is pointless. SMTs will allow for that.
I have a feeling that we still have a long way to go before we get there...
Here's a mock-up I made for a post almost three years ago, when content from Zappl and Steepshot was more prevalent. I'd still love a widget setup like this.
"trending" is just an algorithm. There are potentially tens of thousands of trending pages. The most well known page is ALL TOPICS (or no topic... depending on how you think of it)
I was a big fan of Zappl !

Quora on Hive would be absolutely fantastic. My brain must have optimal factory settings for the Q&A format. I could bang away answers to questions all day every day. I often have difficulty coming up with anything to say from scratch but if there is a wealth of interesting questions to answer it's like Christmas to me.
Trouble is, I have zero interest in fattening the bank accounts of the founders of Quora. People who know and understand blockchain-based social media with crypto rewards and still remain on Web 2.0 platforms must be brain dead because this is so completely superior on so many levels. There is no disgusting censorship here involving stupid moderators or some idiot whose argument you're destroying making your answers or comments disappear. Back in the day when Musing had the large Steemit, Inc delegation, you could take ten minutes to come up with a decent answer after which @musing would vote on it and a week from that you'd get a couple of dollar's worth of Steem. People who turn their backs at that must have something really seriously wrong with them. Why the fuck would you rather let some fat cats in Silicon valley collect the fruits of your labor? And not only that, the same fat cats have minions on their payroll whose job it is to make a digital zombie of you, which they sit around prodding and poking all day to learn every possible way to manipulate you into spending money on crap advertised on their platform that you help populate with interesting content for free.
Web 2.0 is absolute crap. It's total fucking bullshit compared to what we have here.
I know many people werent too fond of Musing short form content but most of those "comments" on Musing (as we see them on the frontends) were surprisingly much higher quality then vast majority of Steem comments at the time.
Its something about putting your answer in a shorter format that makes it contain more substance in less words.
The problem with Musing was/is that Musing stores the questions and top-level answers on a private server. Only a link was stored on chain.
Some of the answers to questions on Musing were very good. The range of topics wasn't anywhere as large as on Quora but there was some good material.
Really? What i remember is that all the questions and answers were readable as regular comments and replies on a Steemit/steempeak post meaning they were hosted on the blockchain.
The post would contain all the questions and replies which would make it either crash or take ages to load.
No, at least the top level answers weren't stored on chain, only a link was. Only comment chains from the first comment to an answer down were.
Musing's strategy was actually somewhat exploitative. The blockchain generated the tokens distributed to the content creators. Investors bought the tokens thus giving them monetary value. Musing stored all the content to a private server denying all other front ends access to the answers. Only placeholders with links to the actual content serving as recipients of votes were posted on chain. Musing got its delegation from Steemit, Inc for free. The @musing account would power down continously. None of the pretty sizable curation rewards were reinvested. It was actually a bit scammy an operation and Ned was right to pull the delegation. Musing did not help the ecosystem in any way by rewarding for content being added to the chain.
This is a NEED man. We need this shitt
I think if the app had max payout limit in the current state then it would not get used. Only if it was an SMT could that be a thing because people will just use normal hive and already post 100 character crap for $2 values. Needy baby greedy baby.
Without SMT or a way to properly control hive will remain the dumpsite it is and there is no reason to do the effort on niche things that touch on "governance" aka controlling payout
Microblogging takes much less effort then to write a full post. Because the effort is lower the max payout wouldnt really matter much.
With SMTs there wouldnt be any problem since the dapp would be separate from blogging etc.
thanks for helping me out in a dire time of need!
Very true. I for one will be using it much. I think steemit use to have such an app
At some point Whaleshares.io will make sense to everyone.
What you want is already implemented, it is called quick post. We also have pods (community posts with comment access restricted to community members but reward (tip) access to all) to have like minded people post about their passion without being trolled by people who have no interest in the topic.
Combined with the absence of downvotes, you have no need for all the restrictions and limitations to prevent gamifying rewards.
People should try it. At least the people who value comments over rewards.
I think the top echelon on hive will consider it spamming just as they considered steemhunt spamming/abusing on steem. Except if such dapp will have its own layer where posts will not show up on the main blogging interface.
Themarkymark did have a steem.social back in the day.
Functioned exactly like Twitter.
He never tried it out on the chain
But
It's still my best experience on Steem till this day.
