RE: Share2Steem V1 Release Announcement

in #share2steem6 years ago

Hi @share2steem,

I have a few suggestions:

  1. Instead of using our profile pic in the footer of each post, allow us to upload a chosen photo. The profile picture is too small and turns out blurry when you enlarge it.

  2. As I mentioned in a reply to @kenmelendez, it is possible that using Instagram filters makes the shared picture a little bit less clear. You might want to see if that's true and use a disclaimer if it is. People can use Adobe Photoshop on their mobile phones for free if they login with Facebook.

  3. It's important that you find a way for users to choose custom titles since it doesn't look that good on Steemit and elsewhere on the Steem blockchain when it is a cookie cut title and date. Something along the lines of your verification technique would suffice.

Example: #This_Is_My_Title

P.S. Thank you for upvoting @emaferice's post!

Hi @chrisrice !
Thanks a lot for your input ! Let me answer to your questions :

  1. You have the possibility to not put the avatar into the post on Steemit. On the website, in the Medias section, go to your Instagram / Twitter account and you'll see an option to edit the body of your posts (the content that will be posted on Steem). You can, at this place, put something else than your avatar (that we get from the social media you're posting from). In fact you can put anything you want if it's in Markdown or HTML. As the system can be complex, don't hesitate to come on Discord if you encounter any difficulty doing so.
  2. I haven't tested every possible filter on Instagram, but we're taking the best resolution at our disposal. If you have any example of a photo that looks less clear on Steem than it is on Instagram, please point me to a Share2Steem post and I will check it out and see if there is a way to remedy to the problem.
  3. We already had that request on Discord and I'm working on putting a system in place to allow unique titles for each Steemit post. Know that in the same way that you can customize the content of your posts made via Share2Steem, you can also edit the title that is displayed on Steemit (but anyway it will stay the same on each post). We're thinking on allowing multiple options for users :
  • Choose as a title the 10 first words of the post (hashtags excepted)
  • Put a [my title] or {my title} somewhere in the post that will be used as the title on Steemit (# won't be ideal as it will be hard to distinguish hashtags - that we transform into Steemit tags - and the title)

FYI, the title customization will be available soon (next week tops).

Thanks again for your suggestions, and I hope I could answer some of your questions.

Thanks @algo.coder the custom titles will help a lot!

I will do some testing on Instagram and @steem2share and I'll let you know if I still notice any differences.
