I've had fun testing out the latest version of Busy.org's Beta version. The UI is impeccable, and the design is gorgeous, but I do have a few suggestions to make! In this article, I'll give outlines of possible improvements that could make the service even better for everyone!

1. Add Beneficiaries to Post Editor

This is a feature that does exist on ChainBB.com but is lacking on both Busy and Steemit. Beneficiaries is a tool on the STEEM blockchain that allows you to:

  • collaborate on posts with other Steemian if you'd like
  • (more importantly) redirect or split post rewards with other Steemians

For example, if I collaborate on a post with another Steemian, say fabien@fabien, I can set the beneficiaries as follows:

This way, half of all post rewards go to my Steem account, and the other half goes to fabien. However, this feature already exists on the STEEM blockchain. It's up to Busy.org to implement it in their latest version.

2. Be Able to Search for Multiple Tags Simultaneously

This is something that could be useful for everyone! Let's say I wanted to find a post about STEEM, the cryptocurrency. It could be under many tags, but only some posts will be about the cryptocurrency. Others might be about the blockchain, and others might be about services like Steemit.

If this feature was enabled, I would be able to go to Busy.org's "News" section and click on two tags, namely "steem" and "cryptocurrency".

However, as shown below, I can only click on one at a time currently.

3. Less Dependability on SteemConnect

I love SteemConnect v2; it's an amazing website and bridge for many apps.

However, Busy.org is meant to be a standalone website like Steemit. Having to log in twice to make a transaction is slightly harder than doing it natively.

On Steemit.com currently, if I make a transfer I sign in on the main website and the transfer quickly goes through.

However, on Busy.org's beta, each transfer takes me to a new window with SteemConnect. Then, I have to log in there, wait for the transfer to go through, then go back to Busy. I think it would be easier if everything was done natively on Busy.

3b. More Native Features!

Honing that point a bit more, I'm seeing that a lot of links redirect outside of Busy. Seeing the menu below:

The "Activity" link takes me to SteemD.com, a third-party website. The "Settings" link takes me to Steemit.com as well.

Additionally, seeing the menu to the right, the "Wallet" link takes me to Steemit.com. I think it would be better for everyone if all these features were done natively. This is because I don't have to sign in to multiple services multiple time if it was implemented this way.

Impeccable User Interface

Other than the above small kinks, the new Busy.org is flawless in design. The website flows smoothly, and I love the minimalist emphasis. As these features get fixed and added in, I'm sure the website will blow up exponentially.

Thanks!
