It's crazy because I have been thinking the same thing about both the search function and the time limit on payouts.
I agree that something needs to be done about the time limit because many people may visit your post after the 7 day period. Authors should still be able to benefit from the work they've produced even if it was a month old.
As for the search engaing on Steemit it needs to improve. There should be a suggestion feature something that allows the exact name or post you are looking for to pop up when searching. This makes it much quicker to find something you want to look at instead of having to scroll through countless numbers of posts.
Also I like what you did with the Dali art.
Hey mate glad you like, great feedback.
I see the time limit is most "pain" to creative content, like art, poetry, writing, musik...this kind of content is always actual.
Yes the missing search funktion is like not used potential. It would be a great tool to work with.
I just wanted to talk about this things with steemians to share oppinions. Lets see what Steemit will have for us in the future ;)
