I think that's a great idea and another steemian is also thinking about it. Check out the conversation here: https://steemit.com/technology/@lextenebris/programming-beginning-the-search-for-discovery
Essentially, I think there are many different recommendation algorithms and potential UIs. How would you like to use a tool like that? Would it be a separate webpage that would just show 100 recommendations or would it be a bot that tagged you when it thinks you'll like something?
Thank you for the link. I’ll check it out.
Do you mean theoretical algorithms or are there already some that are implemented on Steemit data?
If there already some implementations, I’d appreciate some links, because I can’t seem to find them.
I prefer a page like your word cloud. I enter my username on the top of the page and I receive 100 posts, broken down into 10 pages.
I don’t mind waiting for a few seconds until it loads. Neither do I mind a few ads on that page.
I wouldn’t like that idea. It’s not privacy friendly. Suppose that it tags me with a completely irrelevant, irritating post.
Moreover, it might be perceived as me spamming posts, if I understood the idea correctly.
By the way, I don’t think I get what you mean with this sentence. Do you mean commenting with my username?
If so, how can I find the posts and comments that mention my username? I can’t find a method to do that except the google solution and it takes a while until those pages are indexed.
I don't know any algorithms already implemented using steem data. I do know that recommendation algorithms are plentiful and there are many implemented examples. In other words, repurposing existing code should be able to do the job.
I like the separate page too but I'm not sure how making users go to a separate site is friction for usage.
The alternative of a bot commenting with your username and a specific tag is you can use something like https://www.asksteem.com/search?q=%22%40egmracer01%22 with a specific tag and I don't have to reinvent the search interface.
Believe me, I'd go to any website to find content relevant to my account. Trending and hot tabs don't work for me anyway. But of course, that's only me. I can't speak for others.
