Web Devs: MaskNetwork is full of bugs and dead links (I am using MaskBuzz.com)
1. Lots of links go back to the login page.
2. The buttons are dead when trying to update profile info and photo
3. When trying to post, I cannot enter in my wallet address (dropdown is cutoff)
4. Lots of things that should be clickable are not such as usernames in posts. Should click to their profile.
Also, I cannot figure out the simplest of usability:
1. I cannot find any good way to navigate posts. all I see are three tabs: Top 24 Hours, Top 7 Days, Top 30 Days. Is that it? Does that show all the posts made?? I am confused. Is there a directory of post categories? Newest?
2. I am unsure how to access user profiles, or at least a database of users.
3. At this point I cannot even create a post as I cannot assign a wallet address (I think).
Also, there are different "nodes" that look exactly the same. This is really confusing to me. Why would there be identical websites?? Is there different blogs on these nodes? I tried another node and the dead links were even worse than maskbuzz!
To me, this website is unusable. But, maybe someone can answer at least a couple of these questions to explain how to use it. Maybe I am missing something??
I think you come from steemit and you are used with one big central website.
What you see are web wallets. Anybody can download the software and join the network. In the future, some users will customize the interface but right now, they prefer the default one. This is why you see the same splash page everywhere.
Masknetwork is an OPEN network. It's hard for users coming from fb, steem or any other social platform to understand why / how web nodes operate but web nodes are important because they make the network impossible to censor. If maskwallet.com owner don't like your posts, and censor them, you can switch to maskbuzz or hiddenwallet or even your own wallet.
Maskwallet.com was down yesterday due some tech issues but almost nobody was affected. Users imported their addresses to another web node and continued to blog. If twitter.com goes down, it's over. If steemit.com goes down it's over.
Many of the usability issues you have mentioned were reported and will be solved in the next releases.PS : you can't post because you have no address. Create an address and send a message to your wallet operators for a small MSK "donation" to start experimenting with masknetwork or post your address here and i will send you some coins.
