Content Discovery with Veews

mypathtofire in The CTP Swarm • last year (edited)

Veews is a new content discovery platform brought to you by the CTP team and allows you to find content to view on Hive based on your own likes and preferences.

How does it do that you might ask?

The platform works in a way similar to the classic Hot or Not platform with a thumbs up and down. Therefore, the more content that you like and upvote throught Veews, the computer algorythm learns about your preferences.

Here you can see that I am being presented Splinterlands content as I have liked and upvoted this.

Veews also gives you the chance to view the post in your favorite Hive Dapp. You just need to click on the Open Post button.

I like to view posts in Ecency, therefore to set Ecency as the default option, I goto the settings menu and select Ecency from the dropdown menu.

From the settings menu, you can also configure some of the default options such as your Default Post Vote Value which is useful for voting.

Veews is still in the beta phase but developments are happening very quickly as Blain is drinking lots of Mountain Dew. I saw that a new feature is in development for how old the posts are that you see.

This would be a great feature if you wanted to use your voting power to set it shorter or if you want to set it longer to find older content that you may like.

You can also leave comments within Veews. At the end of the post, type your comment in and click reply.

To vote in Veews, you just click the heart button and then if you don't want to use your default vote value, just slide the bar to how much you want to vote and click vote.

Summary

Veews is a very easy to use tool that is good fun to use for curation and finding content that you like across many users that may not be in your regular feeds. Over time my feed has got more accurate to what I like.

To get started in Veews is very easy. You goto veews.io and login with Keychain. Once logged in, you can pick some categories that you are interested in to help start the algorythm to find posts that you like.

Veews is an exciting tool that I think will be a must-have in the Hive toolbox for discovering content on Hive. It is only at the beta stage so far and already it is looking like a great easy to use tool. Give it a try today.

I have used Veews several times but I'm always shown dbuzz posts even if I dislike them each time. It would be great to be able to sort out some tags.

That's a good improvement suggestion. I'm sure Blain is looking at that although I think over time they should reduce as that has happened to me and I haven't seen a dbuzz post for a while.

I sent a suggestion feed-back with that. In general, I realized that there is a lot of content on Hive that I'm not so much interested in lolol

This was a really timely post as I have finally got around to finding my way around Veews ... and got totally confused (it's me, not Veews, I have a long induction period) 😁.

I would like to add a bit of a filter: it says to click some of the topics you like and add others, but I get a multitude of things I'm not interested in. I'd like to be able to set and see my own filters: both the topics I want to see and the things I don't.

There could be a "I feel lucky" button, too, for those times you want to be introduced to something new.

It was good to see the "follow" button added.

Those were my thoughts about it initially too. The AI needs some time and will filter out those posts that don't interest you and the categories are just initial help guides. What you like and upvote are more important Blain mentioned in a livestream.

It is a great tool and going back to the days of when you used to have tons of Traffic Exchanges, this was how you got views to what site you promoting.
I did try in the beginning and I think it is great for people who want to check out what else gets posted on Hive.
Personally I have a hard time keeping up with the content and engagement of who I interact with and follow etc.
A reason why I am always updating my followings etc.
Perhaps in The New Year I will give it another shot as I do like using ecency for speed.
A great post though Steve of the features of veews 👏

That is pretty cool. I haven't played around with it as much as I probably should. From what I have seen it looks really great though. I was getting a lot of spammy posts in my feed from this Hive front end I had never heard of before. I just need to weed through those with the thumbs down button and I should be good.

Thanks so much for the review man and for using it! We're going to be pushing a huge update on a new framework that'll re-do the learning engine tremendously. It's happening because of all the users and valuable feedback we've gotten.

Can't wait to show everyone what we've got coming :)

To me, it's very similar to Stumble Upon. But it is very good that there is one such service on the Hive network. I'm waiting for a token to browse. 😎

I've been enjoying veews, I'm setting a goal for myself, at least 10 veews per day, comments and potential (100%) upvote to posts that show up. Some nice content has shown up that I otherwise wouldn't have seen. Some junk too, but that's ok, it's still learning. I set it to less than 6 days so I don't get very old content. Good review! !ALIVE
