RE: The UX Pyramid: The REAL reason Steem is stagnant.
Super valuable insights as ever.
I feel like there needs to be an ‘advanced’ button that unlocks everything an experienced Steemian might encounter, to operate. (Which is what we have now)
But the default Steemit when anyone lands should be the most beautiful easy to use fool proof thing with language and references that would probably make tech geeks feel sick.
But there’s no need for some to even read the word blockchain, rewards curve, or node.
They need things like ‘Pay me!’ (Claim Rewards), ‘What would you like to say?’ (Make a post), ‘Unlock bigger votes’ (Power Up) ‘Cash out!’ (Power down) etc
And that’s it. With some info and tabs to hover over that explain more if want to know more about its function.
Lastly, gamify it more.
Make it a challenge - people love to earn and see the numbers go up. It would get competitive which makes it exciting.
Love your ideas man!
Yea, it definitely needs to be completely braindead easy at that first level, but have accessible information for the users that want to learn more.
Also I totally agree about more gamification. I would add more fish levels more frequently that Minnow,Dolphin, Orca, and Whale. Each one is 10x the previous! There should be a lot more in the beginning then have if be more rare as you get bigger.
Those are good ideas, especially making it so there are more fish levels to accomplish
