RE: GoodBook.Reviews Beta now Live - v0.2.0

in #utopian-io7 years ago (edited)

Love it! Here's some thoughts:

  • It might be beneficial to indicate what tags the site auto adds. I wasn't sure if it did add any before I tried it.
  • I submitted a pull request on GitHub to fix the image not centering. While doing that I was wondering if maybe posts would look better if there was a space between the image and text.
  • Do the current posts have enough info to later be implemented into the one book many reviews system? Just curious ;)
  • Adding an @ symbol before the author in a posts url would make it easier for bots to parse the url for upvoting.
  • I currently run a book review curation bot (@steemitbooks) and if you're interested I would be willing to give you curation permissions that let you upvote posts through Discord.

👊 Thanks for checking out the site and posting.

  • Good point on tags, I think people might expect them to appear outside of the input filed now like they do on many other interfaces.
  • Thanks for the PR. 🤦‍♂️ will accept that and also agree on extra space below book cover image.

Do the current posts have enough info to later be implemented into the one book many reviews system? Just curious ;)

yes/no - my plan is to add a database in the next update. I plan on using the ISBN as the identifier to link books/reviews (unless you think something else would be better?) I don't anticipate there being many too many reviews that I can't do that manually myself for all upload but also make it possible to edit in future.

I plan on keeping an internal database while still syncing to STEEM to make the whole experience faster. I want all data to be accessible on the blockchain so the library could be rebuilt by any other developer. Anything that's added before the structure is 100% finalised might take some extra work to link up it should always be possible. :)

  • @ symbol, another good suggestion to match other interfaces. I'm planning to change the structure /review/main_tag/author/permlink to be /review/@author/permlink, would that mess the parsing up?
  • Sounds like a great idea to use @steemitbooks, thank you that's super cool. I'll join the discord server 👍

Thanks again, super useful feedback. Aiming to get the next update out mid week, hopefully using ISBN to pull in data and link authors/books/reviews although it might be a tad ambitions in the time I have.

/review/@author/permlink works fine 😉 all you need to upvote or comment on a post is @author/permlink. The @ symbol lets me parse a url into that easily.
