@whatsup @uyobong @urun @khaleelkazi Awesome discussion. I want to continue to take feedback to co-create leofinance with the community.
One issue is that in Hive there is a distinction between all of your posts and the posts that you have on your "blog". So when you reblog something, it goes to your blog. And you can have posts which you write which you don't put on your blog. The distinction is more clear on PeakD, where there are both posts and blogs. I almost added another section just for posts to the current UI, because it makes sense to show all your posts.
Seems to me that we could look at Twitter for inspiration. To me that means:
Thoughts?

for me, it would be enough to add a tag that means microblog, and the content with that tag doesn't show up in Blog, but under the category microblogging. It would be the easiest thing to do. Also because it could become another post interface that's super simple, like write a comment :).
Something that long term could be really beneficial is adding likes ( no dislikes) to content.
Not because it has any value, but for the user experience. Older posts can receive some likes (in addition). So authors can see which content is also long-term a thing.
I'd prefer to defer anything related to microblogging to Project Blank. Would rather not add features to support such a thing to leofinance.

Hi Shawn and great to meet you, welcome to the community!
Just brainstorming here:
Regarding MY Posts:
MyPosts, Posts, Publications, Writing
When those are mixed in with what I've shared..
My Page (a bit facebookish)
So, perhaps a page and a list of posts?
Just ideas here. I personally think that words matter and BLOG keeps us locked into a specific idea of what a post should be.
Thanks for the consideration!

I agree, words matter. A lot. Happy to hear others who have the same view.
I would like to remove "My Posts" completely, and leave only "My Page" (which I suggest calling your Timeline). In Twitter, there doesn't seem to even be a way to show just your posts without showing what you retweeted. So IMHO there would need to be a compelling reason that the two would need to be separate.

Timeline is good and well understood! I like it.

Yep the team has needed expansion for a while. This has been a focus for the past few months.
Why is "Blog" not a good term to describe blog posts?

The tags are not easy to find. I would make it bigger for people like this @urun guy, that doesn't find it and post on peakd :D
Blogging is outdated and limits, it helps to promote the idea of long content and quality.
Social media is about a quick post or publishing an article.
Blogs are NOT cool in 2021

Indeed, i've tried answering questions from my referees on the blog and posts and I even get lost on my answers.

i agree. I would call it posts. So it could be everything.
I never do 3000 word posts, simple because nobody reads them and i don't like them :)
A short post about topics i like is IMO way more 2021
Really a smart observation there.
