Introduction:

In this article I will outline a list of bugs I discovered on https://D.Buzz, a single bug I found on https://Next.D.Buzz, and some recommendations I have in mind as a returning user.

Disclaimer: This article is strictly from the perspective of a user.

Discovered Bugs: Mainnet

https://D.Buzz

---

A. I posted a Buzz with exactly 0 characters left, but instead of properly posting to Mainnet (https://D.Buzz), it does not show up on my account (https://D.Buzz/#/@loving-kindness), but instead, directs to:

• https://blog.d.buzz/#/@loving-kindness/c/yiiknctlbd59ngctsyeui5

The title section may be inappropriately consuming some of the character limit, but that's just a guess.

---

B. The tip feature via @buymeberries seems broken, and I think it's been broken for a while.

---

C. The wallet page does not separate delegated Hive Power from each user's real #HivePower, and this leads to a skewed view of a person's holdings.

• Compare the HP holdings of the following pages
  https://d.buzz/#/@loving-kindness/wallet
  https://wallet.hive.blog/@pjentrepreneur/transfers

to see what I mean . . D.Buzz displays it wrong.

---

D. The video upload fails for me 5 out of 5 times.

• I used 20 second pre-recorded videos from an Android phone.

---

E. Image uploads fail 2/5 to ⅗ for me.

• I am using an Android Phone.
• I am referring to it failing before I press Buzz.
• The error might be related to it displaying improperly before publishing only, but I am not sure.
• I have also noticed that images fail much more with an intermittent Internet connection, but Facebook and other Web 2 platforms, do not have the same unreliability (given the same set of circumstances).

---

F. When a new account is added inside https://D.Buzz, and then:

• The theme is switched, and then:
• The profile page from the upper-right-hand-corner is clicked . .

The profile & cover photo of the previous account logged in is displayed instead of the photos (or lack of photos) of the new account.

---

Discovered Bugs: Testnet

https://next.d.buzz

---

• The "-" (minus sign) does not work in the username field of the login page on https://next.d.buzz

When the - character is typed, nothing shows up.

---

Recommendations for @dbuzz:

---

• I recommend @dbuzz use the D.Buzz name logo for link previews instead of the incircled D.Buzz icon . . the former directs views to the domain name.

When the Web Dapp is downloaded to a Desktop computer the app title is named:

• Micro-Blogging for HIVE

I recommend changing it to just D.Buzz

It's already correct on Mobile Phones / Android.

• Withdrawing money from D.Buzz is far too hard, I recommend the platform integrate https://Blocktrades.us like https://Steemit.com and https://Hive.Blog did.

• Not everyone knows they have to claim their rewards to receive them.

Add a weekly notification that notifies users when they have unclaimed balances.

More than once a week is a nuisance.

• Add the ability to cross-post to a secondary community, besides just the D.Buzz Community

@threespeak has this feature for their video platform.

• Add the ability for the @dbuzz account to claim discounted HIVE account credits.

It's #Free.

• D.Buzz used to remember the upvote strength each user used last, I recommend this be reimplimented so that users can easily upvote without having to readjust the update strength each time.

• Add a custom Trending Hashtag section that shows trending hashtags limited to D.Buzz, instead of featuring #Hashtags from the entire blockchain.

• Someday it would be good to add support for the 17+ other Graphene chains (except for Steem) and using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whalevault/hcoigoaekhfajcoingnngmfjdidhmdon might be a good way to do it.
