Steemit Major Website Re-Launch

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Have you seen this? Woohooo!!!

Pretty awesome new look & feel of Steemit.com - will we see a totally new user interface and appearance of our loved platform? What do you think about the new dark blue Post-Button?

Free money?

I am only confused about the definition of "free money" - what does that mean? Tax free? Marketing phrase?

Sort:  

Steemit is way, way overdue for a facelift. The current interface looks very amateury and simple.

It could be improved indeed - sure they are working on it as we see - and given you get a fantastic up vote by the master himself aka @sneak there must be something in the working right :-)?

Wow, I just noticed that. Thanks @sneak. I would image with a Reddit-like interface, improved post sorting and custom filters, many upcoming content creators on Steemit will have a much better chance of being discovered and rewarded.

Nice post loving the change... I much prefer it to other social media sites.. Simplicity is key hope they keep this in mind going forward and with all and every other change. Cheers ;)

Can't wait for a new and modern interface!

I even remember that, guess how old I must be :-) good comparison!

I hope they will do a complete remake of the user interface with better options to follow people / favorite user list and we need a functioning search bar as well.

I was surprised when I saw it as well. I'm in two minds about it to be honest. They're only subtle changes, but it feels like an entirely new experience. I guess the FREE MONEY is just a marketing ploy to draw users in. It is quite confusing, since you're giving up time and effort to earn, so it's not entirely free.

Have just noticed it. I am old and usually dont like change but I am fine with that :-)

Happy they changed the "free money" though

Hope more change is coming

I just modded the new look for me a bit. Woaaa!

Am I the only one not liking this button? 😂 I find it way too big and square, and it just doesn't look good next to the round profile picture.

I tend to agree, it does seem to dwarf my profile picture ...

There are also other noticeable changes if you are keen enough!

"Home" has been replaced with "Steemit Logo"
"Trending" tab has been moved to be next to Steemit Logo(Home)

I can also see the "FREE MONEY" has been quickly changed to "FREE STEEM"

Steemit is having a UI overhaul.

Thanks for spotting even more. Replacing "Free Money" is a good approach.

It would be nice if they fix all the wallet UI bugs. Like how it shows a URL from a transfer in the "Claim Rewards" operation but only visible from your end. Other people see it "blank" like it should be.

This new change also made some bug with transfers. I transferred $65 from one account to another account that had $5. The 65 showed up and the balance updated on the remote account to 70 but then reverted back like nothing happened. Not a good feeling when you are moving money around. Likely due to the on-going node issues, but I've also noticed things are much slower today on the site. The node issues usually mostly affect third-party services, but I have noticed opening posts and making comments can hang for well over a minute.

One thing I'd really love to see fixed is whatever voodoo is in the post/comment editor that fouls up Grammarly and makes it reverse any changes when you hit post or just wait a second.

Hmm? - "Free Money!" as opposed to "Imprisoned Money!" or "Captive Money!" I'm wondering...

How about "Monetize your Life! Sign up Now!" ... something like that?

wohooo a new major change :) but if it says only for money the users are only up for that and the things get wrong there at the start
