Awesome idea and great domain name Charlie , but I think we may have already knocked it offline.
Really cool to see you getting involved with building tools here, I wish I could upvote this post twice!
I have actually been experimenting with something similar, but as a browser userscript - Your website is far more likely to get used by the masses though so if you could consider implementing these features that would be awesome:
- Collaborative editing, and or the ability to pass draft posts between users for review.
This would simplify work for lots of users currently asking for help to make more effective articles. (Think steemprentice, or assisting users with language issues or other disabilities)
- Some sort of user group management/hierarchy or directory of users willing to help edit and/or proofread and then signal approval/dissaproval before a post hits the blockchain.
I have a heap but these are the ones that would have the biggest impact.
That wouldnt be hard to do. I can incorporate https://passphrase.io/ into this so you create an encrypted document and share it with people.
That was a really quick answer and a good solution :)
For bonus points - I discovered cryptbin recently and its auto-delete timer and unique shorturl per post would be useful additions too imo.
Having a way to refer to a unique code per post means we could potentially automate passing those codes in tx memos/comments , or make a blockchain based que of recent submissions for proofreaders to read/approve/deny etc.
I'm probably overthinking this and asking too much ~ even if it stayed as-is this is a great addition already :)
By the way, I find it interesting how many people, from all corners of the globe, have similar ideas without every interacting.
Made me reflect on the pyramids built by different ancient civilizations . Asians, Egyptians, MesoAmerica, Native Americans and many more have shared thinking in this greater consciousness we call life.
I argued about this feature at earlier post.

The idea came after learning how Wikipedia works!!! However, people told me it was difficult to do. How though? How does Wikipedia do it, that can't be done in this platform? I can see people finally make money based on editing, translating, and creating content and truly finding another monetizing scheme aside from curating and posting. Editing and translating can be monetized!!!
