A long time ago, when I first encountered Web3, I felt that Web3 was very suitable for content publishing. After all, decentralized content is great.
At that time, I learned about Mirror. However, Mirror had many shortcomings, which I won't go into detail here. So I was still looking forward to something else.
Then I discovered xLog on v2. When it was first released, I thought xLog was good, especially its interactive features. So I decided to wait and see for a while.
After such a long time, it's time to get involved. After a few days of experience, I feel that xLog still has some areas that cannot meet my needs.
Lack of plugin functionality#
Compared to blog systems like Hexo, xLog lacks plugin functionality, making it difficult to meet some personalized needs. For example, the statistics and analysis system can only use Google Analytics.
No homepage recommendations and hot topics like Zhihu#
Although people have always criticized information silos, I still hope to have personalized recommendations to easily access content that I am interested in, and hot topics to understand the most popular content recently.
Excessive frequency of pop-ups#
Personally, I think pop-ups are a very painful interaction method.
For pop-ups like the one shown in the image below, it can actually be set to the default option, and users can switch characters on their own when needed.
Painful experience of repetitive Connect#
Perhaps due to being based on Web3, every time the browser is closed, it needs to be reconnected, and there are many steps involved in each Connect. And switching to a different website requires reconnecting again.
