We have already implemented categories-based home page in our app https://oneplace.media where customized tags are selected during registration step or in the user profile.
This is what the tags setup page looks like, quite similar to what you suggested:
Trending posts with favorite tags are then aggregated to the users' home screen.
Searching multiple tags is an idea we also like but this needs to be supported by relevant blockchain API and not easy to realize just on the front-end side.
This is super awesome! I have a question though - how can i log in with my steem account on your site? I only see options to create an account with an email address and password.
Thank you! You need first to create profile with email/password, then you can add multiple blockchain accounts by giving posting authority permission to the app. After that is done you can just login with email/pass and you can switch between different accounts easily.
@oneplace Just checked out your site, you guys are basically doing the same thing and pool reward monopolizers like haejin (who happens to be front and center in Money) and sweetjsss are still on the front for all to see. So, whats the point then?
@yabapmatt Your idea is super dope man hope @ned can see this is of value
Well basically we don't want to ban anyone, whether we like them or not, from trending tags and by default we show you selection of most popular tags in Steem. Only when you customize your tag selection you will get the real experience of our platform, for example, if I am subscribed to #steemdev, #open-source, #design and #art, I don't ever see haejin or sweetssj in my trends.
It may not be perfect for now but we are open to suggestions.
I am pretty sure I did see something like that in the RPC documentation somewhere.
fun and updated ... thanks
