Quite true, and I certainly understood what your emphasis was. I guess it's a balancing act of making sure you have enough photos to compliment your post, without absolutely bombarding the reader, or distracting them with constant scrolling to make the post unreadable.
That's a very good observation to make about the tagging. If you're not putting in the effort for this step, you've likely missed out on other steps in the process, too. One possible UI improvement to be made to Peakd/Hive.Blog is the ability to better search through tags.
Like on Medium, where typing out some tags would lead to suggestions, then telling you how many each particular tag is being used. This I think, could help users to more precisely choose their appropriate tags, instead of what we do now, and just indexing them manually :-D
You know? Peakd kinda does it. I didn't know too. It recommends previously used tags I guess. But yeah, we need a site-wide tag cloud. Steem "had" one based on my research. Hive should get one too.
Almost feels like reinventing the wheel.
Haha, true. Peakd's tagging system, as you say, only recommends previously used ones, especially if you've used them frequently enough. I didn't remember much from Steemit, though. It's one of those little improvements that should be added to Hive/Peakd in a later update. Not a huge feature, but neat to have :-)
