Fake Content or Better User Experience!?

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Let's talk about fake content... not the fake content you're thinking about. We're talking about "Ghost Comments".

What is a Ghost Comment. It's just a random name I made up for a new feature on the LeoFinance Alpha UI -- https://alpha.leofinance.io.

What are they?

Basically, the UI reads content from the Hive blockchain and that's what you see on the UI. The only problem with that is that if you're reading content from the chain and people are interacting and expecting things to show up instantly (as they do on Web3), then even a 3 second delay can be annyoing for the User Experience.

Ghost Comments are our solution to that. Essentially, the UI shows you a "Fake Comment" when you publish a thread or comment underneath a post.

This allows the UI to show you what you did instantly but then on the backend, it is waiting for the data to "fully load" in its interaction with the Hive blockchain.

We talk about it more in this clip from the AMA!

  • New mechanic: In the old UI when you post a comment it doesn't show the it right away, but on Threads it shows you the Thread instantly after posting it, this mechanic will be implemented to everything in the new UI.
  • The way this works is easy, once you post you will see a fake version of the thread or comment while the blockchain engraves the action, this way the UI shows your actions until the blockchain shows you the real one.
  • Once the Thread or comment is indexed on chain, you will see the real version of it.

Leofinance is just going ahead of everyone else. This is a nice implementation, put UX in the front of everything.

Thats cool because it usually happens to me when creating a comment, sometimes the comment might be long and Im afraid I lost the text so before I click reply or post I always copy the text and then wait a few minutes refresh and make sure it was send out, didnt know it was a UI issue but makes sense, awesome you are doing this because new users, like me, wont have the same doubt

I've run into this a few times mainly when I leave a comment and then click on it again to view it, "it can't be found" until a few seconds later it loads up fine. Wonder if that's going to cause issues however in terms of confusion.
