Do you think it could be beneficial to enable visitors of a social website to add businesses to a map?
For instance, consider the map of salons on cleangirllook.com. If a user discovers a new salon, they might want to contribute by adding it to the map.
Hi.
This would be a very useful feature for the cleangirllook.com
The possibility of adding salons from Europe would speed up data filling on the site.
I think that the salons also quickly adopted payment with the possibility of receiving cashback from Distriator.
Correct, at this stage, the map is focused on beauty salons in the US and Canada. Adding more locations from Europe and around the world is a good suggestion, but it's up to the project owner to decide if they want to expand the scope.
I do think this would be a helpful feature but for admins only to prevent others from listing "spam" locations or locations unrelated to your site.
Perhaps it will be easier to provide the ability to add salons to everyone, and administrators will delete "spam" locations already after checking.
From a technical perspective, Hive is a permissionless blockchain, meaning any user can publish or edit objects without requiring approval. Waivio.com displays products, restaurants, and other objects based on the overall balance of votes, factoring in voting power and strength.
For individual social projects, however, website owners and their trusted admins have the final say—their votes are definitive within their controlled space. This means that objects on Hive may appear differently across various contexts (see tutorial: Accumulating Knowledge on Hive).
While the edit functionality on Waivio is open to all Hive users, in most social projects, editing is typically restricted to admins. Perhaps we can explore an easy way for users to suggest new locations on the map—maybe even through a simple message.
