a blurt front-end twitter-like
was thinking of this idea, suggest we make a front-end to blurt blockchain that looks like twitter, feels like twitter, acts like twitter and even blurts like twitter and yet it is BLURT!
earn crypto and tweet while importantly not being censored
above i made some impression image of what this could look like- surprise! it looks like twitter. If the front-end is almost totally similar to twitter, potential new users will immediately be familiar and hence feel happy and can settle into BLURT right away w very little leaning curve.
there are BILLIONS of twitter users - capture 0.1% (= 1 million) so the people can tweet - uh BLURT with ease, earn and most importantly without censorship
What do u think? @jacobgadikian, @megadrive, @ericet, @empato365, @someguy123, @trev03, @linegro, @forrestwillie, @jakeminlim, @yehey, @blurtdev, @agr8buzz, @franky1, @brofund, @eastmeal, @saboin, @zahidsun, @ionomy. of course some developer(s) got to do the job, could be voluntary or via official proposal? thank u for ur attention
I like this layout. I think we need some safe colors. Too much orange/red might not be good for the eyes.
Twitter look and feel is abosolutely beautiful and this point on blurt it may be an 80% good idea and also a 20% bad idea. I will gladly state reasons why I think so below
WHY THIS MAY BE AN 80% GOOD IDEA
Firstly, twitter is simple, slick and not complicated to use by most people to use, so blurt having a twitter look and feel would bring ease of use to the users
Hundreds Millions of people who uses twitter daily would find it very easy to use blurt too, especialy people from #cryptotwitter community, so onboarding would be made easy.
It could attract twitter investors to blurt too if we do a very high degree of marketing for blurt.
It could put blurt as a twitter competitor which is actually very good for the economic growth of blurt, helping blurt to stand out as the best among many.
WHY THIS MAY ALSO BE A 20% BAD IDEA
It may be a bad idea to copy the looks of twitter because it is not creative to copy.
If we wanna copy we have to copy, modify, change, disrupt, add value to what blurt twitter look and feel has to be.
Secondly blurt and twitter does not really have the same technicalities, you can upload videos on blurt, but you cannot do that yet on blurt. You can post a thread on twitter but you cannot do that yet on blurt..you can retweet and comment on twitter but you cannot do that yet on blurt. You can change your username on twitter as long as it is not yet chosen by another person but you cannot do that yet on blurt. In general, blurt has to do a lot of technical adjustments to be like twitter or become a possible twitter competitor.
Blurt could get in trouble for looking exactly like twitter. Twitter codes is not open source and may have copyrights against cloning.
Blurt could also get hated by twitter fans if we claim to be a twitter look and feel and we never get to satisfy the twitter fans more than what twitter does for them.
In Conlusion Blurt having a twitter look and feel is a great idea but before it really makes sense at 100% we have to find a way to solve the problems that may make it a 20% bad idea, and we also need the technical ability on blurt to build it
I guess @megadrive @jacobgadikian @ericet @yehey might also agree to these facts?
I fully agree not to copy Twitter or any other app so we don't fall foul of copyright infringements. That being said a Twitter type app is not a bad idea, sort of like a lite client, we do have retweet capability, it's called Reblurt but is broken at present and will be fixed in next HF.
dont know if there is copyright on web layouts, functionalities and styles. but a twitter-like app would be great
thanks for the analysis. want to add that such front-end would be one of many over the blockchain. already there are a few to choose from. also, to have 99% twitter-ers to unliking blurtweet while 1% (1 million) using blurtweet would be progress. oh blurtweet could be a name for this thing🤣btw, coding such afront-end could to some larger degree be mostly shuffling html divs and blocks layout around to match twitter - still waiting for a volunteer💪
Excellent idea. If you have the frame work available and it is open source let me know and I will use it for https://blurtworld.com pool of websites.
This is perfect with our new IPFS implementation of saving photos, videos and other documents.
We are moving to the right direction here. Blurt on.
Cheers,
@Yehey
really it's looking amazing. I was confused when I show the image 1st time. I thought its twitter.....
I think it is a very good idea.
Can you build it?
Looks quite lovely
That would be splendid!
I like this design and creative.
This is a captivating post about an educational platform
Has there been any movement on this? I think this would be quite beneficial.
