I’m just beginning my deep dive into Steem despite having been on the platform since 2016.
Rather than storing all of my notes in a Google Doc, it makes sense to use the research openingly and ask for feedback where I may be getting something wrong.
I haven’t decided yet whether to create one long post or a series of posts, so I would appreciate comments on why one would be preferred over the other.—if approaching the question as a general rule for publishing long-form content on Steemit.
It’s unlikely there will be much thought put into how the research will be structured—at least initially— and will be more of a semi-chronological brain dump of newbie questions and scavenged answers than sensical categorization.
It may later help if the Curse of Knowledge becomes a problem:
The Angle:
In case you’re reading this well off in the future and are about to dive into the myriad of questions, articles and videos that are presumptuously stored below, they're mainly going to be about the following:
- The technical aspects of Steemit,
- What interesting projects are being built on it
- Who are the interesting people building on Steemit
- Why a particular project was built on Steemit rather than an alternative protocol
- How easy is it to start developing on Steemit
- What are its limitations vs building a DApp on Ethereum
- Other days I may just be bored and want to look at something less world-changing but interesting nonetheless...such as Monsters Market [ #Steemmonsters / @steemmonsters ]
The point being, if anything sensical comes out of these ramblings, it will be much less about how to manipulate the algorithm, chase whales (see how quickly I learned that bit of jargon), or gain upvotes, comments, or resteems.
I want to build something interesting and would like to know if SMT is the correct protocol for exerting those energies onto. In the least, Steemit is certainly an interesting place to write and participate in.
With that in mind, if you have any suggestions for places to start exploration, it would be great to read them, otherwise I’ll start posting questions to the questions tag and linking the answers and interesting findings of all sorts back to this main hub.
Question:
In your opinion, is it better to break up long-form content into multiple pieces or present in one long article? Or is there even a preference? I should add, relating specifically to Steemit, not in general.
Answer:
Basically, there's not really a preference. There are likely some merits to both depending on the purpose, which makes sense. You can see the more detailed answer here along with links to supportive articles.
Question:
What are the most interesting projects currently being built on SMT and who's behind them?
Answer
Coming soon...
