SteemPeak review: a better user interface than Steemit?
SteemPeak have gifted us with a multitude of goodies designed to organise & enhance our time spent interacting with the Steem blockchain. A blockchain which has been designed to encourage the development of projects exactly like this one. Steemit and SteemPeak are not in competition. In fact, they are working together to bring the Steem blockchain to more and more people.
In a nutshell
After using SteemPeak for just a few days I am sure I will never use Steemit again.
It is an interface for the experienced Steemit users who posts every day and gets involved in lots of different projects. Creatives who enjoy the visual aspect of things will love this.
The YouTube version of my review can be seen above.
Here is the Discord group I mention in the film which will connect you directly with the SteemPeak development team & its growing community.
Many thanks to @finnian for alerting me this!
SteemPeak, a closer look...
The first thing which blew me away was the full page format our posts can be viewed in.
Easily viewable
Not only does it look great, I was really impressed that both YouTube & DTube films play in this format, permitting us to scan through films without having to open the posts.
Portfolio view
Once enabled, the Portfolio view shows our work using the first image from each post. Reminds me of Instagram. Simple but effective.
Notifications
Notifications (the little bell in the top bar) permits us to know when something happens.
The difference between this and what Busy have created are the four different options we can adjust: votes, rewards, transfers & rewards. Now we can choose what we want to be notified about!
Personally I enjoy knowing when people have written me messages. This way I can better keep up with responding to them.
Drafts
Having the option to save drafts is like a dream come true. Now I can write 20 articles at the same time!
Templates
Steemit offers a 'signature' for our posts but SteemPeak takes it further by giving us the chance to have as many 'templates' as we like. If we are looking to develop a bunch of different series at the same time, this is perfect.
Bookmarks
We can bookmark posts to read later and they will be neatly collected in an easily assesible bookmarks page.
Estimated income
We can even estimate our monthly income on a Tools page where we can also quickly see the average value of our voters upvotes.
Dashboard
Last but not least, here is the Dashboard page showing stats for our account. A really cool feature.
There are plenty of other awesome features I haven't mentioned here so I strongly suggest you check it out. Something tells me you will never look back.
Chatting in their Discord group yesterday I learned that private messages and autovoting are on their roadmap, which is a great sign for the future.
What an awesome team they are!
Working to make our lives easier 😃

This looks incredibly good in so many ways. I see a lot of the UI is implemented in a way that I was missing from the earlier front-end services.
As a visual artist I appreciate the portfolio mode. From early on, I felt like steemit valued words over pictures. Some would even go so far as to say that a post of just a photo is spam or low quality.
I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the write up.
Hi Nikema, haven't seen you in the Partiko community for a while, I hope you are doing great! We just recently made some cool announcements, might be worth checking out! https://steemit.com/partiko/@partiko/partiko-weekly-report-2--partiko-growthzky4myyx

As a visual artist I am sure you will love it. And you're right about Steemit. It is more about the words than the images.
Enter SteemPeak ;)
Yes, I've been playing with this too. It's great to see steemit dev team being given a run for their money. The more competition and dev work the better!
You know it! Steemit have some catching up to do it would seem....
Thank you so very much for sharing this steempeak option with us. I will definitely be checking it out. It sounds pretty interesting and may be easier to use which sounds great.
It is possible to do more advanced functions, like templates, drafts & bookmarks. And better for photographers :)
My pleasure sharing something so interesting ;)
