How about adding a Character Count feature in our Steemt Create a Post portion? Adding this feature would benefit a lot to our Steemit users & Utopian.io users since character count (LEN in bot's code) is basically part of the bot's parameters checking on how much Voting Percentage it must give to a post.
These are the following reasons why there's a need for us to add this feature :
- This enables our Steemit users to see if they have input enough words to post their blogs. Short posts are somewhat not an advisable one. Though a short & direct post is advisable, there are instances that an enough length of post satisfied the user.
- Too lengthy post makes it boring. By checking on the word count, users will be able to be notified or they can check if the amount of words/characters they used were too much. Realizations will come to chunk ideas to simplify them.
- This is extremely helpful to the Utopian.io platform. Though character count is only a parameter set by Utopian.io and not in Steemit, this will still be beneficial for the purpose of some users preferring to use the Steemit site then paste it to utopian.io.
- It follows the standard procedure of every word application. Microsoft word & Wordpress has this feature, which basically have foreseen that this creates impact on the users.
Parameters | Factors to Consider in Character Counting
- Spacing is Included
- Spacing must not be included if used two or three times in a single space.
- Hastags must not be included (Number sign)
- Links & Parenthesis must not be included
- Only words, phrases, sentences and punctation marks are accepted any will be counted by the number of characters they had.
- Title must not be included
- New lines and tabs are also not included.
The Idea
Basically the idea is to auto-count the number of characters used in the sentence. Though some of the things above are considered as characters, there's a purpose of abusing it especially the number of characters a link has. If you see, if you upload an image in Steemit there will be another 64 bit character on the image name.
Hoping this feature will be implemented.
I firmly believe this will be an additional feature for the convenience of the platform. Thank you very much!
Hope this will also be implemented in Utopian.io
