SteemPeak.com - The Best Steem Front-End?
Introduction
Let's be honest,
We can all wait here for Steemit Inc to get around to make their website better or vote with our feet and start using alternatives. I've tried many and I must say that now I'm 100% switching to STEEMPEAK
What I Love About Steempeak.com
Steempeak mission is:
Simplify the STEEM experience for the new users and be a one-stop shop for the advanced users.
I have to say that so far, they are right on the money. I don't want to have one website for my autovotes, one website for my private message, one website for my analytics, etc. I'm happy they are coming in the fill that niche.
1. THEY ARE MOVING FAST!
Tired of stagnant development and not seeing new features and design coming your way? The people of SteemPeak are working super hard to make this front-end the best of the best. You can connect with them directly via their discord channel: https://discord.gg/Fy3bca5
They are quick to respond and loves to have your feedback.
2. Side by Side Text Editor
One thing that bothers me with all the other front-end is that in order to see a preview of what I'm writing, I must scroll all the way down and then back up. This is both unproductive and frustrating to use. SteemPeak makes it so that I don't have to scroll back and forth to see what your post will look like.
3. ANALYTICS!
Any seriously blogging platform worth their salt provides a way to get data about who votes for you, how much you are making, etc.
Finally, I don't have to jump to another website to get the information that I need. Hopefully, with time, that feature will get better and better.
4. Saved Users + Saved Topics + Bookmarks
Want to create your own curated feed experience? Save your favorite topics and users for quick access through the "Saved Topic" and "Saved Users". Add the possibility to bookmark directly from the feed and you've got something much more enjoyable to browse.
Conclusion
Try out steempeak and you'll be happily surprised. I've heard through the grapevines that some awesome new features and coming online such as private message (which I can't believe steemit.com never implemented)
See you there!

Steempeak is by far the best UI. Steemit is still stuck in the 1990s.
I love Steempeak and they keep increasing the development on it. Unlike some apps, updates come regularly and often. They also add a ton of updates with each one.
I am sold on it and switched a couple weeks ago. I meant to do a write up on it but never got around to it.
Well we'll still look forward to it. haha
I love seeing which parts are the most interesting or useful for each person.
For example there's way more people mentioning analytics than we ever expected which makes me want to push updates to those to sooner than later. But like you said we're now doing tons of smaller updates from all the feedback we're getting. Aka doing a lot of polishing before we get back on track with the big stuff.
Hey @jarvie, how many people are working on this project? You've done a brilliant job, and I reckon your team is much smaller than Steemit's.
I have 1 question - would it be possible to implement the option to search in "Followers" and "Following" sections? For example, if I'd like to find a person that I am following whose account starts with "w", I have to scroll a lot.
Cheers!
:)
I do know we're going to be working on the following/follower list in the future.
And we're also going to be improving the search function as well.
:)
Oh and there are 4 right now but we're looking for some developers to help alleviate the load of the main developer.
I gotta say steempeak is amazing and works so well.
But something just holds me back into steemit.com
I think it's the old habbits and not wanting to change.
Hopefully more people start using steempeak so I would just HAVE to start using it aswell :D
I have been using SteemPeak exclusively for a couple of weeks now.
It is just a much smoother interface.
If you like the project, don't forget to support the team. @steempeak, @asgarth, @jarvie
Haha too kind ;)
I'm already using it and it's amazing, the mobile site needs a little work, but I don't doubt that it won't be long before it's looking professional as well.
Yeah mobile is something we haven't even really touched too much as of yet. I'm also looking forward to when we get rolling with that design.
agreed!, and mentioned in last digest ... @steempeak still need to improve editor a bit, as adding links you have to keep scrolling up to the top. But it's really great so far
Agreed i've experienced what you're talking about with the scrolling for the links specially on long posts that's something I'll bring up, not sure how the design could change to make that easier. If you have any thoughts let us know.
That is totally awesome I didn’t even know it has expanded this far and so many other projects are coming along the way
The private messaging idea was thrown around many times, it's useful and can (should) be implemented off-chain. If that's the intention of steempeak, go for it :)
My first impression is, it's a sleek interface but the posts are too big, maybe reduce the image sizes and show more posts in the field of view. The "detailed view" is a little bit chaotic: the animated reshuffling is cool, but the posts end up looking disorganized to my taste.
@cryptoctopus i haven't yet used steempeak.com this is a good suggestion. I will try this website for betterment.
Analytics is the best part of this site. I hope, it will exist for a long time, much projects die after several months.
