I really love write.as, and plan on switching to a yearly subscription real soon. Just want to bounce off a few ideas I had while browsing the internet.
Infinite scroll- Just from a discoverability front, and to ensure folks don’t have to click ‘older’ to read blog posts from the past. Not a deal breaker, but if most folks are writing byte-sized insights (like myself), this would give readers a good experience.
Previous, Next and Random- I saw this idea on Seth Godin’s blog. When you click on a particular blog, you’re given an option to navigate to next, previous or random blogs. That way, we’re giving readers an option to hangout with us for a longer time!
Option to add social share and search- Can this be achieved with the signature pack? I want to have both subscribe and options for readers to share it on social. Would be good for folks to search though the entire blog
Suggestions, brickbats and perspectives welcome :).
@matt just curious to know if this can be achieved. I was looking at a few Seth Godin’s blogs, and I was wondering if there is possibility of having one of these two (in order of priority)
Have next, previous, and random- Since I write every weekday, I want the reader to discover more content I might have written. Higher page views, and higher chance of someone subscribing.
Infinite scroll- To ensure people are able just to scroll and read. Currently I’m limited by folks reading the 5-6 articles that’s there on the 1st page.
This has become a bit of a deal-breaker for me. I can limit the number of posts initially visible using CSS, but have no way of allowing readers to access any other posts.
Thanks for your feedback on this potential feature update! I’ve got a feeling this might take a while to implement, but I’ll go ahead and assign this to engineer Matt just in case.
