RE: Introducing Mangosteem - Steem Powered Web Chat
Great work, finally!!
Edit: oh wait, will this add to a new blog entry visible on the likes of Steemit or something like that?
Edit 2: Nevermind, figured it out :) this is awesome to bring over existing communities / chat groups from anyone's telegram / whatsapp. I think it's okay in some ways for it to be like a glassroom.
Feedback: Ok in most cases, people chat with quick successive one-liners. Since the Steem protocol has that 20 seconds / comment limit, I think it might be possible to make it a smoother experience by grouping multiple one-liners after the first before posting it on the blockchain.
For example: I typed this and pressed enter --> this gets posted into the chain, hence begins the 20-seconds timer before the next comment is possible. So in this timeframe, any text entries will be grouped and posted as one larger comment by the end of the time limit.
Thanks for the feedback @kevinwong.
Currently the UX is limited by the design, but I think you have made some great suggestions. Many robust chat features will likely require a private server acting as liaison between the app and the blockchain. Unfortunately that is not something that I can set up in the near term and without careful planning.
@mynameisbrian Keep up the great work. I have made some suggestions to MangoSteem in my post.
Suggestions
They should make a steemit app, so that its easier to use.
eSteem is a pretty good way to use steem on your mobile!
Hi @starblade @babane @world-currency @ackza have you tried the eSteem app?
Am also waiting for the steemit app... it will make things more easy.
Agree with you on that, have been saying it for a while now.
@sneak said we are gettting a steemit app soon!
I agree, I joined about eight days ago and I am still in the dark about a lot of what one can and what one should do.
there is esteem app but on iOS especially it is really bad
Sure, it's for something down the road. Sure works pretty well as an MVP now. Only came across two issues at the moment: message not posted on the chain on my first couple tries, and chat messages not updating on page after a certain time, but I guess these aren't big issues.
If your internet is very slow or spotty it can cause issues with the polling of new blocks. Currently the app will just refresh if the connection falls behind. Just one of numerous issues that need to be ironed out.
Not sure about your messages not posting. I haven't encountered that.
yes u did
how does one earn on mangosteem though? is it just like the length of the conversation?... or is it determined how intellectual the comment is? Not really understanding, would appreciate feedback!
Feedback: it would be cool to have like a live chatroom in some ways similar to omegle and/or livestreaming
people would like to solve peoples issues through chat way more, in return they receive upvotes as rewards, so i guess, has a huge area to be explored there, quite stunning idea. lets see!!
sounds dope! thanks for the reply man
your comment really helps alot buddy
I haven't figured out when you get paid
upvote me thanks
20 second gap - ahh for me its too long....
thats a steem problem
upvote me
i'm going to flag you for being lame
the easiest way to get around this (which i demonstrated the other night, it to fall back to editing the pervious post in the 20 second time limit... then you can just watch the chain for post edits (which the current ui already does)
