[2017-7-17] chainBB Suggestion #1
It is with some difficulty that I continue to create further posts here on the Steem blockchain.
However, I have had an Epiphany of sorts - yeah old guys can have them too - and am now convinced of what needs to be done here and elsewhere.
My difficulty is I love to write (and read - in my youth Ayan Rands The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, Anthem...all Sherlock Holmes all James Bond books all Buckminster Fuller books and a lot of Arthur C Clarke and Isaac Asimov…) but my target audience is most likely young and likes short, compact Bites to digest.
So far I have written some 15 Suggestions for this site but decided to feed them to the community/Suggestions one at a time - (no - not for more upVotes, LOL - see Altruism in Action due out shortly).
So in order to satisfy my cause and my 'new outlook', here is the first of many suggestions.
By writing only to this tag: Suggestions on this site, I believe I am able to restrict the traffic seeing this post to just those on this site.
Of course everyone who checks the tag: chainbb-suggestions, we'll find it, but they must look!
If I had a listed subdirectory say “help the poor” the community would form there and no one using the 249 standard tags on Steemit, Busy etc., would find it by default.
This is both good and bad.
So then this Suggestion is basically to create an introduction for the two to four thousand newcomers who come to Steam blockchain everyday and redirect them to see a unique or refined list of chainBB topics they could participate in - different than the other sites. That's it. Great idea or what @jesta ?

Sorry was on a bit of a vacation, just now catching up on posts.
I don't think this should be done with tags, but I like what you're thinking - a way to cause a post to only appear on a specific site.
This would take coordination with the other websites as well since we all share a common datasource. Each frontend would have to integrate and respect the "visibility" of the post based on what the author chose.
It sounds pretty easy to code, but would likely take some time coordinating and establishing the standards of how it would work. I'll add it to my issue tracker and start some discussions with other devs about it.
