RE: Sugar Steem - A more personalized Steem UI - MY PROFILE final

You don't like lists? One of the problems people have with the feed is that when you follow a lot of people, your feed is a flood. It's not parseable at all and impossible to curate. If you have lists you can separate the feed into parsable segments.

  • Crypto
  • Bots
  • Witnesses
  • Athletes
  • Friends
  • Family
  • Spammers

It makes it easier for you to go straight to content you're interested in. I guess favorites are good for content discovery. Personally though, my feed is more important to me than content discovery.

Sort:  

yea i dont want to sort the content of lists by topic tag. thats not an interest. Being able to favorite a user ha or see what tags of categories they like or i like have value but sorting through a "my feed" by topic isnt really too valuable. Its not something globally usable really... Being able to sort between a toggle of resteemed content and organic content in a feed is enough. the average user isnt going to sift through a bunch of tags to find a topic written by a particular user.

favorite the user. then use that list of people to read through their posts. This way you havent isolated a user to a specifc micro topic instead you are filtering by user to allow a list of all of their topics

Well, the thing about lists is that

  1. You can have a user in more than one list, so I don't think you're really isolating them. For example, @dan can be in
    • Friends
    • Crypto
    • Developers
  2. Lists can be subscribed/shared by other users. @dan again for example could have a list of crypto analysts he follows, and maybe I want to follow the same ones. I can just subscribe to the same list.
  3. Lists aren't tags. They're collections of users. A user can be in the gamers list and post a movie review. Lists are more about the people in them than the content.

Favorites is good. It's like if you could only have one list, who would you put in it? I just think it's unreasonable to expect that people only want one list.

yea for now i just want 1 list. perhaps a top 20 i squashed that a while ago. but for now have 1 list and test it in the UI if it works we can add more lists.
