My May on INLEO [Feedback]

avatar
(Edited)



Khal's dev team has been working to make the INLEO interface bug-free at the end of this month, asking for feedback on how the UI could improve and most importantly, for errors encountered. We do want 99% stability in the UI, don't we? That would give us a better user experience whenever we are logged on.

Generally, the user experience during the month was good (at least for me), except on two occasions when threading became nearly impossible and lasted more than half a day. The first was around the middle of the month (14 days ago when the UI kept leading to an error. I discovered later that day that using the Brave browser was the solution.

The second time was a few days ago when threads were not being indexed no matter what browser I used. Others had the same experience based on the comments I received on my feedback thread.




During those times, I just assumed that fixes were being made because most of us experienced similar issues. Thankfully, the UI is back working smoothly.

Drafts & Publishing UI

Like in April, I have not had any issues publishing long-form posts this May. Saving drafts was working too. I have not lost any drafts and hope never to experience it.

That said, there are a few feedback I would like to share regarding the publishing UI:

  • Previously, the embedded links added to long-form posts were usually messed up and when I left a feedback thread 16 days ago, Khal commented they were working on it. Guess what? They seem to have fixed it so thank you.😉

  • Having a word count on the drafts/publishing UI would be nice too. Some communities or tribes require a minimum number of words for long-form posts, so the word count is a necessary feature.

  • Since we can publish posts to different communities through the INLEO frontend, it would be great if there is a search field to easily find the community where we want to post, instead of scrolling and finding them among the long list of communities.


  • It would be nice to be able to choose the thumbnail photo for a post. This is very useful when a post has a lot of images in it. Sometimes, the UI displays the post divider as the thumbnail.

  • Be able to drag and drop photos when uploading. Currently, the UI allows uploading one image at a time but it would be a time saver when we can upload several at once when drafting our posts.

  • Post-scheduling currently doesn't work so I hope this will be available soon.


Summing Up

My experience with the UI during the month was good, thanks and my respect to the developers working behind the scenes. Salute!

I'm mostly on my computer for my Hive activities (posting, threading, engaging, curating, etc) using Brave, Carbon, Opera GX, or Chrome browsers. I switch between these browsers whenever I encounter difficulty accessing the UI. That is of course to check if they were browser-related issues or not.

So yes, most of my feedback on threads (and in this post) are based on my experiences using the bigger screen because I rarely use my smartphone.

Again, thank you :)

I am satisfied with the progress of Inleo. The refreshing became faster and feeds automatically refreshing and I liked it very much because I don't need to do refresh manually.

The loading speed is great indeed. Hope there will be no more major bugs after today :)

Two of my friends complained sometimes this month that their threads were being deleted
Do you know if some other people experienced this?

They were not deleted, they were not indexed on the blockchain. And yes I experienced them too.

It's really great to hear that INLEO is improving. I agree, a smoother interface makes browsing much nicer dearest . I have had some issues with thread deletion some weeks ago hope it'll get good, but it's good to keep an eye out for any glitches.

Yeah. Thankfully, things are working better now. Threads not being indexed was one of the major issues this month so let's hope to not experience it in June and beyond.

I admire your attitude to "Push through the Difficulties and keep posting.
Sorry if it didn't sound like a compliment, as that was the intent.

Hi @ifarmgirl ! ! I was a while absent from Hive and I'm retaking the platform learning again and trying to update myself, do you have any tutorial that is your favorite or recommend about InLeo to understand the project? Sorry for the inconvenience, as I see that you are a person involved in the subject I am very interested in your opinion 😳

Congratulations for your good work! And for sharing your experience so far, I was just looking in the feed for something like this 💫

INLEO is a frontend on Hive (like Peakd, Ecency etc). It has its own token (LEO) and we can earn it from threading (microblogging) or posting via the interface. The project includes Leodex where we can trade HIVE, LEO, SPS, and soon HBD to other assets like BTC, ETH, USDC, etc.

You can read more about the project via its documentation.

Such errors are what the team should work on because people are waiting for their daily post to be posted.

Daily posting is okay, I haven't had any problem with it. It was the threading feature where we had some bugs a few times during the month and it seems to have been fixed.

Oh, sorry to hear about your experience. Sometimes changing the browser helps. I only had issues with threads but posting (long-form) was all smooth for me.

Wow!, on point, I like the facts that, you address the idea of adding search bar that would be using in choosing community in the Inleo, now that everything is back to normal, we threads everyday every moment, happy new month to you @ifarmgirl more successful months I wish you.

I find it challenging to find the community to post to (maybe because I'm a member of a lot of communities). Unfortunately, the interface is having issues now hehe. Thank you for your good wishes and happy new month too.
