RE: Introducing Liketu - A playful new experience on Hive - Launching soon!

in #liketu3 years ago

Possible, though a little more engineering involved. Not totally adverse to working this in. It would feel some what invasive to have to deal with paywalled content (remember it's pictures that are paywalled, words are not) when you are using a "show all on chain" kind of front-end. We leaned on tailoring the experience to use our front-end because we wanted to get the proof of concept working in an environment we have some control of. Ultimately, as our resources expand, we would pay attention to how posts appear on other front-ends too.

Point taken.

Excellent. I produce digital art. So of course I'm interested in displaying a lower quality version that still gets the point across and placing the full version designed for downloading behind a paywall then offering access for the low low price of whatever I decide is fair, for instance.

The NFT scene is, neat, I guess, but I'd much rather utilize a subscription service since the artwork only plays one important role of many involved in creating my content. So far on Hive I've yet to stumble into any potential solutions suitable for how I like to do business. I like the consumer to be able to access everything, all in one space, but so far each service demands the consumer bounce around from site to site and back if they forgot a step like voting. Far too many clicks and steps involved in something that should be a seamless experience. A blurred image that's impossible for the consumer to see doesn't quite fit in with the way I prefer to present my work and is like offering someone unfamiliar with my brand a mystery box. It's next to impossible to make money if they don't know what they're buying.

I'll keep my eye on your service though and see how things take shape. I'm sure on your site itself, everything would work well together, but unfortunately there's the potential of the product appearing disastrous elsewhere on chain and that could result in chasing away new potential followers, customers, and the like. Common growing pains of Hive though. Even basic formatting of text can look different depending where it's viewed. Some frontends display images larger than others. Content can appear 'perfect' in one space then look like Frankenstein in another.

Anyway, that's not a complaint about your service. I look forward to seeing yours in action and simply felt like offering some food for thought coming from the user experience side of things.
