I appreciate what you guys are doing, even with the very few funds you are able to collect so far. I've upvoted all posts in @esteem8 that are still in the 30 day payout window as a token of my appreciation.
You may like to do some additional marketing. Bare with me, since I did not read all your posts, but you may consider to write a post (or multiple of them as in running a campaign) answering the question "Why Esteem8" will be so great, What the USPs are, How it differs from Steemit UI Busy UI's and this all in very easy non technical language and include some mockups, if you have them and they are very appealing looking. I hope you have "Simplicity" as Key requirement for the UI? That is what I learned being the TOP key requirement to make a service successful, in the last 20+ years of working in product management and sales positions in IT/Telecoms.
Update: @esteem8 has a new follower as well, although I already see the posts since I followed you already :)
Thanks,
Great idea thanks ! we're currently running it.
In short terms,
The APP is built to around user-experience and privacy, the users can use tor with changing the node, his not depending on something with a single point of failure.
Good. I like an App, or at least some notification that I can set and receive on my smartphone. That is what I like of eSteem, although eSteem is still quite slow. I understand the web approach though, it also requires less development and headaches to get the Apps in the stores and people to download them. But it has it downsides as well, like to no notification part which is for me a trigger to open Steemit and respond to comments.
We'll implement notifications after login function with the possibility to set for which type of event you want to get notified.
It's essential you add this to you recent [GitHub "What is ESTEEM?" doc](from our github here)
Agreed on all points!
Just went quickly through the posts you guys submitted last month. The roadmap post showed some diagram (GOOD!), but more or less showed only the process, not the content. I suggest to create in Powerpoint or so, some great slides (Why, What, How) and post them here as part of your marketing campaign. Maybe per post 1 USP, so you bring with every post a new message. Although I have limited followers being still some kind of newbie, I'll ReSteem those.
I agree. One thing you might want to look into is communicating your project in a way that non-programmers will understand. I will be checking you guys out definitely. :)
Absolute a very valuable comment!
Promoting and describing any software tool MUST be done in such a way acttualy. Next to that some factsheet/spec sheet can be created for the more techie readers to quickly understand what the software can do in shorter and maybe more exact wordings.
