RE: Steemit More Info 1.4 - Chrome Extension + Firefox Extension

in #steemdev7 years ago

In future update posts could you please only include the features instead of copy pasting the whole thing every time. That's gonna get pretty spammy and massive at the rate you've been adding features.

I really do appreciate what you've been doing here, I just wish these features would be accepted into the condensor repo directly.

I coded a patch for the vote strength % in the dropdowns 5 months ago now, it was rejected despite community support and now here we are installing 3rd party overlays into a site that handles money to get that feature back again...

Sort:  

The reason for copy/pasting all the features is that the number of users of my extension is limited, and I want to show all the feature for new users that don't know yet what the extension is capable of.
However, I see that the post is becoming every time more crowded, so you are right that a solution is needed to keep it shorter.
Maybe I'll work on a website where I show a list of the feature and I'll provide only the updates here on steemit!

I was contacted by @sneak that told me that if I wanted to make some of the changes available in condenser I was welcome to submit pull requests.
Then, he continued by saying that before I do that, I should contact their designer to check that the UI is acceptable, otherwise I would risk to waste my time since they would not accept my requests.

That's why I decided I was not going to touch the condenser code.. In my opinion, the cost for a user to download an extension is far less then the cost it will need for me to learn react, apply my changes, submit pull request, and maybe they will not even get accepted (He told me most of the feature are too advanced and not useful for the majority of people).

Your experience tells me that my decision was right.
I see that the number of people using my extension is growing day by day, and that means in my opinion that the features I'm adding are needed and condenser should at least add them with the ability to turn them on in the settings (like I'm doing)

In the meantime, I'm going to keep doing what I can here, this is the fastest way I know to send more feature out to the users

@armandocat i now you havent been online lately but i loved your chrome extension and would love to incorporate 90% of the features in my UI build SugarSteem. Can you get on discord and find me. Id love to have you work with me to build out my UI and together we can really kick some ass here. Please let me know.

Maybe you can use some kind of spoiler code to hide things in the Post? Not sure if it works here. Just an idea. ;)

I just update the extension. I changed the layout of the post putting the new features on top of the list so it easier to find out what changed!
I decided to keep all of them though, because I still see a lot of people downloading for the first time, so it is important to show all the features, I think. 😼
