RE: A Sneak Peak at Communities on Steempeak!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
so i watch some online streams (mostly sports). and on some web pages there are chats, i just few weeks realised that some of them are discord (maybe more of them are they just don't look like it). So as you get to the web page you have a discord chat loaded for that streamer (some of them stream bunch of stuff all the time). you only get that room of the discord, nothing else.
It would be interesting that every community that has discord, when you get to that community you have a discord room for that community. Not sure is it clear what i wanted to say.
There is nothing live now, i could maybe take a screenshot tomorrow, but i am sure that you know what i mean.
EDIT:
I think i f-ed up, think it is a twitch chat
Yes, I get what you mean and that's definitely the idea, only it would be a tab on your Community page vs right there on the side. It's still a pretty big question mark whether the plugins out there work well enough to integrate, but I'm hopeful.
that side chat would be great. as you can browse the community and see who is chatting and chat live. but it is probably to much and maybe not possible :D
Well I'm sure it's possible, I think it just might be too much of a design change for Steempeak. As people start creating their own frontends for their communities, they'll be able to arrange them however they want.
Hopefully we find an open source option for integrating discord that isn't as buggy as the first one we tried which had some quirks that were a little rough.
But with that said I'd much rather see us make COMMUNITIES itself more of the STAR of the show instead of making discord the headliner. There's gonna be so much we can do with discord and so much a group can use that I'd hate to see everyone just defaulting back to old discord habbits.
I know steempeak will shift to doing much more in communities. Doesn't mean a chit-chat application like discord (or telegram or whatever the community chooses... like maybe @openseed discussions) will still have a place... because chit-chat real time discussions are always a nice thing but they get overused when there aren't other options. And that has been steem for a long time... all we seemed to have was Discord so it is presently being used for tons of things that community structure can do way better.
this was going through my head while i was writing that comment. i could see people just chatting in discord while on community page.
I never got to deep to communities so i am not sure what can be done, so i will just wait and see :)
