Thanks for sharing your ideas and proposal! I believe we have a huge need for a mobile app with a 'design-y' look, as let's be honest, people will find it easier to try out/post on Hive if we make them feel cool doing it :-)
I dig the mock-ups, are you aiming at a 'photo' and 'short content' first approach or are you aiming at users who are more text-focused as well? (I would say these users would like drafts, some fail-proof text formatting functionality, etc.)
Are you aware of and/or in touch with the @openseed (oops, they just changed their name) @openorchard guys? They are aiming amongst others at 'turn key' chat functionality and such, so maybe there's collaborations and/or knowledge exchange possible. A big part of the team is very knowledgeable as they were involved at Steemit, Inc for months or years.
Good luck, I'll share the post on my feed for more visibility :-)
Hi @soyrosa
We totally agree that we should have an standout user experience just like our blockchain.
The approach is going to be rich content which includes images as well as formatted text content. We have an updated design with different view e.g ListView, Instagram like view and Grid view. Our first priority is to integrate an user experience that will help user feel connected.
We are aware about @openseed and @openorchard, They are really wonderful and intelligent people. Dapplr's idea is a little bit different in terms of what it offers. We don't believe in centralizing the user's credentials and we want our app to be as fluid as water. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions.
Thank you so much.
Let us know what feature would you want the most in an app.
Thanks for your response! All sounds very reasonable and I'm excited to see you're finding your way around Steem including the people :-) It seems like you did some decent background research before presenting your roadmap and ideas and have clear ideas on how you want to implement some solutions, which I'm curious to see become a reality :-)
I'll come back in a few days with some additions as it's late in the evening now and I want to think about it properly. Good luck for now, will retweet your announcement on Twitter as well! :-)
Yes @soyrosa, Thank you for appreciating our work. There is still a lot of things that we are working in parallel.
We believe in delivering a quality product else there is not benefit of having it.
Thank you so much for your support...
