[Feature-Proposal] "follow" content creator

Superhero Development
1

Motivation

  • Currently, the feed on SH is the same for every user. Aiming with Superhero to become a social media / crowdfunding platform, the building of communities and a personalised feed is an essential part. Therefore, this feature is inspired by the need of having the possibility as a user to follow my preferred content creators and have a personalised feed based on their posts

Implication

Users will be able to follow content creators.

  • Extend the SH profile with a “follow” button building links between profiles
    • Implement a feed that is based on the posts of ppl I am following
  • SH profile will be showing
    • no. of followers
    • List of followers (by clicking on the no. of followers)
    • no. of accounts I am following
    • List of accounts I am following
  • When visiting the profile of a follower, it should be visible that this person is following me (i.e. like on twitter showing “follows you”)
  • notification for “new follower”

I see it’s been a while since you’ve posted, but I just want to ask—has there been any progress on exploring this idea further? It still sounds useful, especially if paired with tipping or direct support tools. Curious if there are any updates on whether AE developers have considered building something like this or if there’s a way the community can help push it forward.

I’m working on something similar and can see how adding personalized content feeds would make a big difference. For example, I’ve been using an ai product description generator for e-commerce, and it’s been cool to see how small bits of machine learning can improve user experience by showing more relevant stuff without making it feel forced. Something like that could really help with creator discovery and engagement here too.
