Steepshot: more than 20 updates (Web/Android). 3-weeks rally Report.
This year we started working on a new functionality, and in the near future we will present you the updates.
In parallel, the work was started in many directions: faster browsing, videos, image galleries, push notifications. (See the full list in the bottom of the post.)
We hope you'll love new features in this update too. And yes, stability is the king. The number of crashes in Steepshot app on Android decreased by 80-90%!
Logos
We present an updated logo. It looks smoother and friendlier.
You can always find the latest updates to our promotional materials for using in your posts in our Discord channel.

Ok, let's talk about what was done in January with regards to the Android app:
Steepshot Android app
New Tab Bar
Power of Like around the Avatar
If you go to the Google Play Store, you will see on the second slide, the words "Power of Like".
It works like mana in online games. Each time you press the heart button, you spend a part of your voting power. It is constantly rebelling (recharging). The value of each of your likes depends on the Power of Like and your amount of Steem Power combined.
Do not regret giving your Like Power to someone, but think who is more worthy of it!
Power of like on the profile page:
Click on the avatar to display the current amount of power in % of the max value:
List of Likes
The "List of Likes" screen displays the amount of money next to each user showing to you who your supporters are.
Timer on the button "Publish photo"
There's a blockchain level restriction of 5 minutes between posts. We've visualized that restriction in Steepshot UI. Now you will always know how much time remains until the moment when you can publish the next photo.
Delete, edit post options
Yes. It works. Now you can delete or correct text to your photo directly from the application.
More fixes
- Fixed a bug when duplicate posts are displayed in feed
- Updated Boot Loader
- The Profile page is updated when you come back from the Followers page
- Zero likes, zero balance on the Comments screen are no longer displayed
- Fixed a bug when some users' avatars are not displayed
- Fixed a bug when posts are viewed as low rated but they aren't low rated
- Fixed app crash when user tries to publish his/her first post
Steepshot for the Web
Much faster!
It took us some time, but now we have finally improved the framework in the right way. The download speed has significantly increased. In the near future we will also make a number of improvements to ensure even faster loading of pages and maximum comfort of use.
Improved UI for mobile devices
Now it's even more convenient to use the web version on mobile devices.
Likes work correctly and the amount is updated quickly
Comments
Now the number of comments can be seen directly below the photo on the page you are viewing.
List of likes
Now shared links are displayed as a separate page
Now that you have shared the link, it will open in a special form.
GIFs
For fans of the GIF-format images, it will be a pleasant surprise to know, then we also support it!
Slider
Now in the pop-up window you can see the previous and the next photo of the current page.
Action box
We took the 1st step to add future options for actions with photos. Soon there will be features to share photos in social networks, delete, edit. These features are already fully working in the mobile version!
HTML in comments
Viewing the comments has become more convenient with markup recognized as it is displayed on Steemit.
More fixes on the Web
- Fixed a bug when user can`t upload a photo on Safari
- Fixed a bug when user can`t close a popup window

You've build a nice app! Keep going!
When will stable release be out?
amazing update !! thanks for following me and this nice opportunity !
This app no doubt has tremendously helped alot of persons particularly myself @steepshot I appreciate this, try and come up with the video uploads.
Thanks alot
I can confirm that the app on Android phones is stable. I have rarely crashes.
I like the new features especially the "List of Likes". Well done, Steepshot team.
Updates keep getting better toward perfection. Good work, thanks @ steepshot
Like button ❤️ should be customizable. Currently it is burning 100% of power.
Would be nice to have it in settings as an option - 100% or let say a step of 5%. One click - 5%, two - 10% and so on. Or whatever you think of.
Hello. This feuture is currently under development.
That's fine with me.
However, it is wise to reconsider the priorities of what are your audience. If you target only minnows with $0.02 power it is one thing, but in case of those whose power is $1+ it is very important to have this feature.
really a brilliant app and its more good to hear its more updates
the upcoming features and updates are more good and hope after this @steepshot will be more attractive
Hi, I think the android app works better after the update and the interface has improved too. I like the feature that you can see your 'power of like'.
now, it works quite well on my mobile phone and i am particularly happy about that. at least i can get to steep and snap and upload anywhere and everywhere i go.
Bravo guys.
together we can
An amazing update where it's long overdue, so hope this app. love slider and better UI for mobile device. hope the future of udpdate is more cool again
