This type of discussion is what steemit needs more than anything. Resteemed hard.
I think there needs to be a better way to bridge the gap between the platform developers and decision makers, and us little people. IIRC, the last time I complained about some bug, I was basically told to go fix it myself in the condenser git. I can't code. In fact, most people on the platform can't. How do we fix this? How do we make the techs listen to authors, artists and curators?
There is unofficial support in the help channel of Steemit chat. If you run into issues, just report them there and I (or one of the other support volunteers) will do our best to help.
Okay, who would one need to beg to get some RTL alignment up in here, for us Hebrew and Arabic authors? Yes, I will keep asking for it till I get it!!! :)
P.S. Good to know there's a help channel, but what can you actually do to solve bugs or improve features to better cater to the needs of the community?
I'll discuss it with the dev team.
We can help with getting bugs solved.
Feature requests need to go through the 'standard process' of drumming up support through posts and word of mouth first. If you can get something to the trending page, that's usually enough for it to get some serious consideration.
Please do! I would offer bribe if I had any.
Hello . I wonder if you can help me with a new account. I submit all the necessary information for a new account and Steemit send me the confirmation email , but when I clicked on the link , it took me to a new page where the message was - Thankyou for your time we will review the information that you send us , we will check it and give you an answer later - Its been 2 months since that happened . Is there a way to know if im going to have a validated account ? Regards.
You already have an account. The terms of use are one account per user. You are welcome to signup for additional accounts, but you need to pay the account creation fee for them. There is info on this in the faq. (AnonSteem, SteemConnect, SteemCreate, etc.) @blocktrades also posted today about a service they are offering too.
Thanks for the information . Good day.
Great to know!
Super solid points!
I know what you mean. The learning curve is really steep here! One of the big reasons it's hard to get people here or to stay once they are here.
We definitely cannot all be coders lol.
I don't even know what the condenser git is.
Deeper even still is most of us would ask "who are the techs? who would we even point a glitch out to?".
The condenser git is the place the source code of steemit.com is developed.
There's a steemcleaners initiative. Why doesn't Steemit Inc create one for tech support, onboarding and bridging that gap to connect with the non-technical userbase in making the platform better?
I guess steemit Inc is more interested in developing their SMT.
Tech support for the condenser is very expensive, if done right, and wouldn't return anything for them in the short term.
They are sitting on tons of SP in their accounts. Making this a rewarded community effort won't cost them a penny, but instead distribute their power among trustworthy steemians. This can be run like steemcleaners and curie, who community projects that are doing what I consider holy work.
Steemoverflow as in stackoverflow would be a nice idea for someone with time(not me) to set up. And see how it goes. Blockchain based technical questions. The answer with most Upvotes is mostly right. I thought about that. Maybe one could at least please it at utopian-io?
I support this wholeheartedly.
Nice!!
Wonderful!
I think you are right. There are definitely things that could have been developed or enhanced before working on SMT.
Tech support is expensive everywhere but also a necessary and normally beginning part of a website.
I see...
This is definitely something needed lol.
Without us, Steemit wouldn't continue to exist.
wow, so many responses that I'm not even sure who you responded to lol. But, I totally agree!
