The community voiced its concerns, and @Leprechaun has responded. Leprechaun addressed the access issues previously reported. Now, the objective analysis begins. My commitment to the community continues to investigate as much of the new front end as possible.
However, the Call-To-Action remains: Give your opinion and insight into the new front end!
Posting Review
I began the POB-Ecency Series with the post entitled "POB-Ecency: CTA/RFP". It covers, among other things, a complete review of @leprechaun's work. I want to make sure that communities members have this information available. It's essential to keep the info out there so we can continue receiving input.
- I feel the biggest issue in the new proofofbrain.blog was accessing our accounts. Fortunately, Leprechaun remedied the issue, and further analysis of the new site can continue.
- Our first series on proofofbrain.blog covered entries starting from Leprechaun's initial proposal through the July 8, 2021 entry "POB Has Moved".
Let us now present the most recent articles covering POB-Ecency Development during 2021.
For everyone else, don't forget to use the #pob-ecency tag in your posts if you wish to communicate any problems you see.

Asssessment
What I Like.
- Sidebars are consistent.
- Reward breakdowns are easy to follow
- GIFS are easily transferred when creating posts.
- Browser crash doesn't lead to a loss of a post.
What I Don't Like.
- MP4s can't be uploaded into new posts.
- Drafts can't be saved.
- Templates can't be created.
- Muted user posts are available for review apart from the standard tabs. Should it include why the user was muted too?
- POB tag availability is inconsistent. Selecting the HIVE symbol in the upper left-hand corner shows popular HIVE tags. Deciding on the POB symbol shows no POB tags. It was available when I first logged in but then disappeared.
Conclusion
- I recommend adding a home tag that includes the base POB information.
- Include, in this tab beginner links that would benefit new users.
- When someone goes to another tab, then make POB tags available to each tag
- Please allow the ability to create and save drafts and templates.
- Please allow the ability to add videos and images directly to the "create post" function.
- Please add a notification icon.
We are moving in the proper direction. Thanks go to community members for reporting their issues and @Leprechaun for implementing the solutions.
Request for Proposal
I would like to ask for a proposal to accomplish the following formally:
- Further develop the POB-Ecency front end and address community concerns and recommendations for improvement.
- Maintain continuous monitoring and maintenance of the POB-Ecency front end for the foreseeable future.
- Include all current frontend features into the POB-Ecency platform.
- Incorporate, if possible, PeakD posting flexibility.
- Report on the progress of development.
FREE-to-use GIFS!
Thank you to all HIVE and POB participants for your active engagement. Please feel free to use these GIFS in any of your posts. I am unable to take specific requests at this time until I complete the POB-Ecency evaluations and resolve POB-Discussions.
Do you like contests?
If you love contests, #proofofbrain has contests just for you! The table below presents a few POB authors, along with examples of their contests. Dates may vary when each new contest occurs, so be sure to follow along to get the most recent updates!
