Thanks,
answering the question "Why Esteem8" will be so great
Great idea thanks ! we're currently running it.
In short terms,
- Accessibility (All device with a browser)
- Usability (Native application quality like)
- Privacy (No server-side, the user choose the node)
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)
