I have to credit @ifarmgirl for the inspiration for this post....
So last night I was scrolling around Threads and check out what people were talking about. You know, trying to be a product of the product and all :)
And then I came across her Thread that I'll paste here...
This was so cool to see, and it's something that I'm sure has been in place but I didn't notice it until she mentioned it.
So I poked around my account and here's what I find:
Now, this may not seem like a huge deal but let me say a few things about what the Leo team has done here.
They've added some very cool little hidden eggs within their app. It adds a ton of fun to anyone that is trying out Threads for the first time and they will more than likely smile when they see it.
You see, these little things matter.
And you might be surprised at how much they do. This isn't rocket science and it's not changing the world, but adding little small features like this will help adoption of Leo Threads and Hive overall.
I've been talking about this in the CTP community for decades, and it's something I believe really separates the apps that 'get it' from those that don't.
Heck, you don't even need to own an app or be a developer, you can literally do the small things right now. And make people on the blockchain feel valued.
Most people won't do the basics, like replying to comments left on their blogs. Separate yourself, by replying to everyone! It's a 'little thing' but it matters.
Most won't upvote comments, upvote the comments left on your blog. You don't need to give it a full 100% vote, but if they are posting on LEO or CTP, they not only get Hive but some layer 2 tokens as well.
Little things.
They matter.
And what Leo is doing is just epic. What's crazy to think is that they are just starting out and haven't even released the finished product yet, so this is just going to get better and better.
The user experience. This is why I'm such a fan of these small little gems that apps add. It makes you feel good while you are using the app. It's fun! It's shareable! It's how things like Threads can spread.
If the users feel valued they will talk about it with their friends. They will blog about it (case in point...). And more importantly, they will keep coming back.
I encourage all app developers to focus on the little things that add a better user experience for their community. These things matter and will help with user adoption today and much more down the road.
Well done Leo, just a brilliant 'little thing' that is appreciated!
