Finding information on Steemit can be overwhelming and reaching all the users with vital information is a challenge. In the last couple weeks, I've been busy working on a little website project that consolidates some recurring information and FAQs. Many bloggers have written about some important subjects over and over, but despite that, not all users are benefiting from those posts. There's a limit to what followers and resteems can do, for example in the event of a new scam.
One weakness of Steem is the lack of editing after the payout, thus many informational posts often become obsolete after a while, without the possibility of editing them. The only way is to write new updated posts, which causes more problems in tracking and condensing the information. What's more, for some reason, many of the embedded images get deleted or become missing from Steemit's image host after a while! I've had this issue on several of my old posts.
So I thought to myself, why not pool essential resources together and present them to the users under one reference roof? Therefore, I present to you:
Steemian.Info
The concise information resource about the Steem blockchain
https://steemian.info
It's a non-profit project to help the users get organized and important information about the Steem platform. So far, the site's layout is:
General Information
- First Login - Important notes before the first login
- Sign-up FAQ - Answers to the common sign-up problems and delays
- Steemit FAQ - The official FAQ from Steemit.com
- Steem Whitepaper - Steem blockchain technicalities (August 2017)
- Steem Bluepaper - Short and simplified whitepaper
Security
- Account Security - How to handle your account securely
- Keys Demystified - Understanding the differences between each Steem keys
Witness Stuff
- Witness FAQ - What are witnesses, their rewards and requirements
- Witness Voting Guide - How to vote for witnesses
- Active Witnesses - List of active witnesses and their settings
Communities
- Minnow Support Project (MSP) - For helping new users
I'd like to expand it with sections about spam, scams, abuse, communities, artists, etc... If you wish to contribute to the website, you can write your article (condensed material from your own posts and others) and contact me on Steemit.Chat or PAL Discord. Preferably, the articles should embody all relevant information without being too long. I'm open to all ideas and suggestions to improve the site.
If you would like to promote your project or community, write a few paragraphs about it and I'll gladly add it to the site.
If any artists would like to make a site logo, that would be nice too.
Translations are welcome, contact me if you have time to translate the site so we can reach more communities.
I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
