RE: [Crowdsourced solutions] The problem with Tags...
I believe I said this before...
... and tried to engage developers...
We need searching and sorting on steemit.
Do you remember being promised a "resteem" tab?
What happened is the guy got it all done, but found that the back end couldn't deliver. It basically spewed out 20 followed posts (resteemed or not)
So, it went back to the drawing board... and hasn't been heard from again.
Steemit needs sorting:
You should be able to show all of your favorite followees. (this should be a personal, or public list of accounts) Your favorite followees with your favorite tags. And then after you read all those, go to all your followees and see just the posts (not the resteems)
This is pretty close to the groups function we have heard rumor of.
All it takes is storing a list of accounts. The sharing of the accounts list would be the hard part, as we don't have anything in our current interface for it.
We should be able to go to someone's blog page and then sort by tags. Steemit really should put the 5 or 6 most used tags just under the menu bar.
These are all easy things, but the interface is a pain. Its hard to get it just right, with enough information and sorting, without becoming too cluttered.
Further, we should have default tags. Such as CN or tagalog
So you can drill down from there. (Important if you don't read english)
And like I said, I tried to engage the programmers, but... I think they are all on Github not here.
