All of the frontends for Steem and Hive have been complete garbage compared to what they should be. Condenser is a disorganized over-bloated hunk of shit. We need something sleek and simple. We need to turn these centralized reputations systems into decentralized ones.
I know exactly what we need to do, but I don't have the resources or the knowledge to put them to paper at the moment.
We need a node that gives ownership of the blog to the blogger.
We need custom trending tabs unique to every user.
Reputation must be determined by everyone collectively.
I basically just chalk it up to no one having any idea as to what this platform needs or how to implement it.
I absolutely agree, except that reputation should be just as individually determined as the first two mechanisms. Reputation in the real world is utterly subjective, and that's what makes it useful. If you want something collectively determined, don't call it reputation, because reputation isn't collectively determined IRL.
Call it community response, or something, since that's what it will likely be.
I look forward to the eventuation of a distributed blockchain social media platform, that enables individuals themselves to undertake to control their content choices personally, and participate in collective choices at will.
However platforms fail to meet those goals, they subject the community to arbitrary control.
Thanks!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have a tiny bit of experience working with condenser and it isn't pretty. I had to wade through far too many deprecated or unfinished calls to find the ones that actually work.

I'm awful at social networking, but I can code. If I could find an inlet to a community that might organize to develop something that respects all of us, my motivation would soar and I could likely overcome the roadblocks I've found on my quest to make an application frontend to my favorite content blockchain.
