Last week, we published our first Medium post announcing our three overarching goals for 2019:

Revamping our UX

Operating on an international scale

Expanding the IQ network with new dApps

This week, we want to take the time to show you some of the features on Everipedia we’ve been working on related to these goals.

Before we do that, though, we want to want to encourage you to join our Telegram to participate in the discussion. (If you’re technical, you can also join our EP Developers channel for more info on Everipedia’s code, front-end implementations, and smart contract work.)

And Now, Our Feature Presentation…

No Scatter? No Problem

We are in the process of implementing an AIKON dService to Everipedia.org using the Open Rights Exchange (ORE-ID) protocol. In laymen’s terms, this means…

1) There is finally an alternative to logging in with Scatter.

2) People who want to edit on Everipedia can do so using centralized platforms (like Facebook and Twitter).

3) You will no longer need an EOS account in order to make contributions!

An Update on Language Expansion

We are currently working on a ‘language connection’ feature in which one can toggle between the languages of a particular subject. If a page about the same topic has been created, you will be able to find the option in a drop-down menu.

Here is a demonstration of what it will look like:

In addition, we are continuing to work on the importation of Wikipedia content. We announced our importation of Korean, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish Wikipedia last week, and we are now working on importing the following languages:

Italian

Arabic

Hindi

Explain What Your Edit Is and/or Why You’re Voting

Have you ever wondered why someone voted the way they did on a certain edit proposal? Have you ever felt the need to explain why you’re making a cer

To help other Everipedia editors and voters understand the intention behind your edits and votes, Everipedia is working on an option to allow users to explain to the rest of the community what their edits are and why they are voting to approve or reject an edit.

It would work similar to Wikipedia:

We hope that this feature will create better engagement and stimulate more effective interactions among editors while also maintaining anonymity.

Over to You

What do you think of these updates? Is there anything you think our UX/design team and/or community leaders should know about? (We received a Christmas list of questions/comments not too long ago, and we will do our best to address as many of these as we can.)

*You can always reach out to us on Telegram, too!

We will be posting our next update(s) a couple days after Christmas. So until then, we want to wish you a Merry Christmas. Happy HODLdays!
