In August, we added advanced functionality for collaborating and editing articles. Here is a list of some of the exciting new features and functionality that we launched this month:

Chat Rebuilt to make it Easier to Collaborate

We rebuilt chat from the ground up in August to make it easier to collaborate when editing and voting. Our goal is for Everipedia to best-in-class collaborative content creation platform. With our August chat updates, we’ve made it easier to discover ongoing conversations, we’ve added notifications, and we’ve simplified the user interface. We also added a sitewide chat that can be used to communicate platform-wide.

Your Followed chat directory now displays the number of unread messages since you last visited an article. This should make it easier to keep track of new messages in articles you care about. Chats are automatically added to your directory when you post a message and you can remove them from your directory anytime you want.

You can also see the number of unread chat messages in the top right of the nav bar. This is an aggregation of unread chat messages from articles in your directory and from the Everipedia Chat.

We’ve added a Recommended tab, which suggests chats that have recently been active, which will make it easier to have discussions with other editors. Finding chats to participate in is now simple, so active chats will likely have lots of action!

We’ve split article chat into two sections — Chat and Activity to separate article activity from messages and make it easier to follow both. Chat also displays stats on the number of messages and participants, while the Activity feed displays stats on the number of edits and IQ invested.

Everipedia Chat is platform-wide and enables discussions that aren’t tied to a particular article. This is where we’ll be making announcements, having Everipedia-related discussions and engaging with the community. We expect that Everipedia Chat will slowly replace Telegram as the primary communication medium for our Everipedia community.

This is just the beginning of our advanced collaboration tools. Come chat and let us know what you think!

Editor Improvements

The editor is continuing to see performance improvements and additional functionality.

Merge duplicate articles and earn rewards for doing so

Cite books by inputting their ISBN

Tables have received an overhaul and now support nesting

Korean Language Support

We’ve customized the platform for Korean and will be deploying a new Korean version of Everipedia in the next couple months. The Korean version of the site will have its own homepage, a Korean-specific chat and will only display Korean articles.

We’ll be rolling out additional support for other languages later this year.

Get IQ directly from Everipedia

It is now possible to get IQ directly from the Everipedia platform.

We’ve integrated the YOLO exchange to make this possible and our goal is to reduce the barriers to getting IQ and making edits. Right now, you can only get IQ with an existing EOS account, but we’re exploring ways to get IQ using other mediums of exchange.

IQ Delegation v1

With delegation, accounts can earn a return on their IQ even when they are passively holding tokens. Editors can borrow IQ to make edits and vote on changes to articles. This will enhance the liquidity of the IQ token and make editing / voting accessible to anyone anywhere in the world.

We’ve updated our smart contract to enable delegation and will be rolling out a frontend for managing your delegates soon.
