Today we're adding sections to read.cash and updating the main page.
This is how the main page looked before:
The problem with this layout is that it seems that the only content read.cash has is cryptocurrency content. It even led some people to believe that "To be visible I have to talk about Bitcoin Cash". We need to change this.
So, we're introducing sections and the new layout for the main page:
At first sight it doesn't seem like much has changed, but that's only until you scroll a bit down:
As you can see - some other sections are moving much slower than "Bitcoin Cash" or "Cryptocurrencies", so the articles in them will stay visible far longer now, getting a better exposure and not drowning in the crypto news.
There are now sections like "My Life", where you publish stuff about how you live and what's going on with your life. "Travel" section is where you can find interesting places to visit (don't forget to click "New" to see the new posts in each section). You can find sections for Music, Programming, Hobbies, Health, Fiction, etc...
If you need a new section - publish a few posts and then post a request for a new section in read.cash forum.
There is one more step now before you can publish an article:
...it takes just a second.
We'll add a few more things to the new main page, so that the sections would adapt to your reading style, meaning that if you don't read Bitcoin Cash articles - that section will go lower than the sections you visit more often (though it's not done yet, just a plan).
Oh yeah, you might have noticed that the dollar amounts are gone from the main page, but not from the section page. It's an experiment - we think that an interesting article should not be judged by how much did it earn. We'll see how it works out, but frankly - number of comments and views seems like much more interesting measure of how interesting the article is. Disagree? Let us know in the comments.
Have fun!
I'd love to have a section (or community?) where one can see all the posts that specifically relate to your site's news.
Sort of like the news blog of the site itself.
