Steemauto was made open source not so long ago and I was excited at the news. Thanks to that I am now able to make my contribution to the project.
In the curation trail page, there is a table where you will see a list of trailers to follow.
As steemauto is still young, this list is not so long and as at now, there are 78 users who have created trails. This can be manageable for now but as time goes on and more people decide to use the services of steemauto, that list can grow to thousands. Scrolling through to find a trail is definitely not a option, so a search feature such as the one shown in the screenshot below has to be implemented.
This can be acheived in two different ways
- Querying the steemauto database and returning the user you are searching for
- Filtering the results in the trailers table based on the parameter typed into the search box without querying the database. This can be done with javascript.
Either method would be fine. I hope to see this feature added as it will greatly improve the user experience
