RE: 20 SOLID REASONS TO STEEM on STEEMPEAK.COM
Jesus Christ this is SPECTACULAR! I'm swapping over from steemit to steempeak right now. I'm a photographer, and follow other photographer, so it's good in that regard too. You've implemented some stuff that I've had in various different apps that I've created since being here. I've often thought about combining everything, but honestly it seemed too hard (and I'm a shit UX designer). I'm so glad someone else has done it and done it well by the looks of it. Congrats on your hard work so far. On the face of it, this would appear to be the best steem front end by a LONG shot. Could be a bit of a game changer, as steemit.com is a pretty ordinary introduction to the steem environment for new users. If we get something like steempeak as the almost default front end, I think we'll see a much larger retention rate of new users. Again, well done guys!
Yeah don't think I haven't thought about how they should just swap it out for the good of steemit haha.
I want my photographer friends and youtuber friends to come over here and have a great first experience.
But a large corporation gets grilled on every tiny little thing they do. When it's a small group of private individuals I think we get away with more things just on the basis of saying we think it's best for us... or best for photographers (which we all are)
Anyway thanks for the feedback and enthusiasm... sounds like your experience was pretty similar to mine.
I was in the middle of developing a photographers browser extension for steemit that is displaying photos in grid, and was going to allow a slideshow of images. But Steempeak does all this, and probably nicer than I was doing it. I go a bit mental when I do app development, so it's good to have excuses to stop developing an app. :). Unfortunately it just means I'll put all that same energy into another app I'm developing and will wind up just as mental...
Have you considered doing notifications? That was another of my apps that I previously developed. But I pulled the plug because I got sick of paying for the server and not getting enough support from the community. I.e. I went mental... :)
Yes @revo notifications is on the list but we know it's a big one so we're waiting until after autovotes. We'd love to hear about your experience with it. If you jump on the discord we'll get you on the private brainstorming channel and have a conversation about it. @asgarth has started to look into what's needed.
Personally i'm excited to have some developers as users I know they can be a tough audience but they can be a great resource.
Thanks, feel free to join us on Discord to stay up to date with the latest news and to discuss about what will come next :)
Well said. Its encouraging to know there is such creative and prolific talent on Steemit.As you say,it will inspire user retention.
Yep if people are saving time, having a more pleasant interaction experience and are generally less confused ... then I think they stick with it.
