RE: What do you think of the updates for Steemit? Worst UI Update

in #steemit7 years ago

I like the way you try to teach them basic web design, but seriously what do you expect from a team UI/UX wise, that has done the steemit interface that looks like early 2k design? If there wouldn't be interfaces like busy.org, I couldn't use this blockchain at all without risking serious damage done to my eyes 😉

Sort:  

honestly i like the format of Steemit far better than Busy.org but that's me. I think people gravitated to busy.org out of RAGE QUITTING and Frustration. The UI they have lacks all kinds of personality and function but its the same regurgitated on busy.org just rearranged. no added functionality really. add a bunch of plugins to it and you have an interface that kind of works.
For me I may just build for web and not responsive for mobile I am unsure. It depends of resources, costs, $ etc. or potentially will build for mobile as my 2.0.
Unsure. but overall It could be a corporate direction to establish some kind of UI and move on to other things like Alt coins and other things... perhaps its the Communities job to improve it and emerge creative talents to surface the evolution of steem.
Either way im here to help grow as a designer, while meeting new people and establishing a presence in a community that I've grown to enjoy. Thats my goal. its created a new direction for me to take design work

I love your approach! Thanks for sharing!

well, are you in touch with ned. I can maybe arrange something...

Id love that. we've never spoken or had a conversation. He did drop me a one liner to get in touch with there HR team about staffing. When i responded to Christi, I received a pleasant response but they arent hiring etc. For me it'd be more important in being aquainted so i CAN reach out to their corporate team to discuss new developments, features, direction. I have worked as a consultant in UX for strategy for almost everyone. 15 years in the field. But my hope is to get in touch with these guys to help spearhead new development. I am building a Redesign series of the UI that @aggroed has helped me start up to get the community involved. I've been rebuilding the UI for about 2 months now taking in the community comments, pain points etc. it can be found here.

I would love any assistance and getting heard so i can help build this better. its taking up all my free time but im very passionate about it even if i AM just a PLANKTON LOL

I fully agree and think busy is a steeming pile of crap!

But Steemit really needs a proper search function...

i have a work in progress to tackle search in a new post coming in about a week. add me on or ill try to tag you on it when it comes out
