Summary of my involvement to Communities that is now getting released to Steemit.com / https://hive.blog/@quochuy/summary-of-my-involvement-to-communities-that-is-now-getting-released-to-steemit-com


"We're beginning to roll out communities. Stay tuned for updates. " says the notification banner on https://steemit.com/ 🎉🎊🥳

Congratulations and thank you @roadscape and his team at Steemit Inc. for the hard work during those last months. The Steemit frontend is now powered with a critical features allowing us Steemians to create communities for our content creators.

As a community developer, I contributed with small code changes some of which have a big impact on the project.

Communities on Steemit.com

Light relooking of Steemit.com

This is the first important change I added to the Condenser. I've previously redesigned the comment section of a blog post view to make it more readable. With this next relooking, I went relooking the comment section a bit further to add more contrast and make each comment block stand out and even more visible.

Better design for the comment section of a post

As you can see, I've introduced a different background color from the background of each comment blocks. That creates a bit more contrast for readability and separation. The post article above the comments has also been restyled to make it as wide as the comment for nicer view, however the effective width of the article was not changed as to not mess up with the layout of existing posts.

As you can see on the top screenshot, the feed list has also been redesigned to align with the new look of the comment section. Each post summary block in the feed list is now more compact, allowing display of more posts in the list. This has been worked on multiple times thanks to the feedbacks from @roadscape and @therealwolf.

Author dropdown

I revamped the author drop down to make it load asynchronously after page load, this allows the Condenser to fetch more data related to the author.

Revamped author dropdown

Multiple image upload and drag-and-drop like GitHub

Another nice feature I added is for the post editor. You can now upload multiple images at once and you should still be able to continue writing your post and the images will get inserted where they should be instead of right in the middle of what you are typing, just like in GitHub. This was requested here: https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/2832

Drag and drop is now also supported.

I thought communities was accomplished the last week from Justin Sun and his TRON team. Is it not true? 1qok7d.jpg

lol

You are kicking ass @quochuy, keep it up. It is nice to see such great improvements to the main Steem front-end.

While I am here, when I was tagging you I had to ensure to properly spell your name. Maybe we could have username auto-complete when tagging a user. Perhaps it could choose from the users you follow, the user you are replying to, or some other method.

Thanks again!

Hey @netuoso, thank you for the nice words.
I appreciate that you paid attention at the spelling of my name :-D
The auto-complete of mentioned user is a good idea. Would need to see if its feasible, the API used to retrieve usernames should be fast enough.
https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/3711

We need auto-complete on Explore communities page. Is it possible to add 'communities by language' sorting?

Great idea!

I would actually love that!

Thanks for all you do @quochuy!

My pleasure

Oh how I missed notifications - nice to know when someone comments back or tags you 🙂

Yep definitely important.
We should implement proper browser push notifications on the Condenser too.

Where is my feed button? Don’t want to look in dozens of useless communities to find posts from people I follow.

It’s now called “My Friends” but it’s missing from the mobile menu. The issue has been reported.

absolutely fantastic update!

This has renewed my excitement in the future of the platform by 110%. communities are fantastic and make it so much easier to find and filter to the places of personal interest.
Notifications have long been a feature that we have needed and so happy to see them arrive.
I love the multi-image upload and drag and drop feature but yet to test them myself.
well done team!

Thank you :-D

Great Call with the comments ! It's totally better !!! and for the rest of the update I am still discovering, great works thanks a lot !
upvoted !

Except the UI (btw those paddings are not possible, it gives a bad feel), I really appreciate what you made! Keep up the good job man.

Thanks for the feedback. Some paddings were done a certain way due to other requirements but I’m sure things will get improved progressively now that Communities is out.

Very good achievement! Go ahead with those favorable initiatives. Thank you, @quochuy.
PS: I tried to vote you as a witness but something is wrong with SteemConnect that doesn't recognize my active key. I'll try another way.

Thanks @quochuy! :-)

Thanks for your help with the PRs
