Busy v2 is now in public beta!
The team Busy is proud to announce the public release of Busy v2! We invited many of you to test out the private beta, thank you for all your contributions. SteemFest2 is the perfect timing for a public release so that everyone can easy get access, test and so we can get more feedbacks.
Busy v2 uses Steemconnect v2 for login, and posting API.
SteemConnect is a layer built on top of the Steem blockchain that allows you to connect to authorised apps in a secure and convenient way.
SteemConnect will be the infrastructure that lets any developer or entrepreneur to build on Steem without having to worry about security or the signup process, making it that much easier.
SteemConnect is a community project. That’s why it’s open source under MIT license, for anyone to use (and contribute to) as they see fit!
Read @steemitblog announcement
With SteemConnect2 you need to grant @busy.app permission to post on your behalf (delegate posting authority), so the app can post for you. This operation require at least your active key when you authorize the app, then you can login with your memo key or posting key. You can revoke @busy.app anytime using this link http://v2.steemconnect.com/revoke/@busy.app
The active key is only used to sign the transaction in your browser then discarded, nothing goes or stay to the server.
What's Busy?
Busy.org is an open-source social network and communications platform that includes a variety of rich features and functionalities.
An open platform for an apps ecosystem: Busy’s goal is to build an all-in-one platform and allow many apps and features to flourish on top of the Busy social media platform. We are offering an open-source and secure social network layer to bootstrap any Apps (like Facebook Apps does, or WeChat services), games, community tools, marketplaces for good or services, using Steem.js API, SteemConnect and the Busy.org 'framework.'
An open-source project and vision, and an alternative interface to Steemit.com: we believe in wisdom of the crowd, open decision-making, taking a collaborative and transparent approach, that's why all our work is open source. Everyone is free to contribute, by all appropriate means to accomplish our mission. Not only coders but also designers, writers, translators, testers, marketers, advisors, etc. We’re partnering with @utopian.io to incentivize and reward open source contributions on Busy.org.

Busy v2 public release
A few month ago, we decided to stop all further development on the first version of Busy, running on busy.org, to focus on our new version.
Many people were invited to test the first version, which allowed us to receive their feedback and enabled us to redirect our strategy. We want to thank everyone who helped us make the next version, the best possible.
This new version was running in private beta with some testers for more than a month now, and it’s time for us to open it to the community and to more testers!
We are now PUBLIC.
There are still several works in progress, and not everything may work 100% correctly. All feedback is welcome on our GitHub, or Discord server.
- Access to Busy’s new design version: https://busy.org
- You can still access the old Busy at: https://v1.busy.org

Steem on!
How can I redeem rewards in my wallet on busy.org? could not find that...
I think that is one of the things that are still to be worked on. But going to the feed/home You have a link on your left side that says wallet and will bring you to your steemit wallet straight away where You can do that.
Lol, I see that you took all of these screenshots pretty recently considering @Aggroed's post haha.
It definitely looks a lot nicer that v1. I will have to check this out when I get home since busy.org is blocked for me at work. One thing that looks really nice is seeing what percentage people upvoted at and how much it is worth. I have wanted to feature for awhile!
I would like to know why you made the vesting 10M+ for the slider being automatic. Why such a large vesting default amount?
Will post a follow-up comment about my thoughts on it!
Good catch there it's fresh screenshots :). For the slider the 10M+ vesting limit is just to see the slider by default, but anytime you can enable it in settings page even if you have only 20 Steem Power.
busy.org looks smarter. i've been exploring it for hours. i like that it has bookmarks. i used to resteem a post just to somehow bookmark a post. good thing that busy.org has this feature. also, i tried creating a draft. i no longer need to re-check the markdown guidelines since the base functionalities are made easier, on buttons. there's so much feature to love.
i prefer that the user info should be place on the banner/header though just to highlight the user data. also, i've tried to edit comments from busy.org, error prompt requiring me to enter a title? isn't it supported yet? hmm..
overall, i like its intuitive user interface and functionality. looking forward for more improvements and features.
Two things:
Why is there no tab for ‘Comments’ on the left navi panel?
Why do you exclude downvoting?
Hey @ats-david
No, not replies. Comments that you make on other users’ posts.
Good job guys ;) I have been using closed beta for a few weeks and I have to say that it works great ;)
Btw. have you considered to move navigation to 'Replies' to more visible place? It took me too much time to find it when I needed it for the first time.
Yes we been thinking about this and it's on the way see :D see https://github.com/busyorg/busy/pull/980
I'm waiting for merge then ;)
really like the new look
the new text editor is a lot better too
There is no turning back now 😉
Why Busy.org stop voting?
Great user interface, clean and neat.
Looks like Facebook, nice to see the price charts.
This one is the most alarming change you should have done long ago.
