Actually, nope, a defacto fiction blogging platform, was announced at SteemCreators, in Toronto, last week.
In the witness channels, the discussion tends to turn to @preparedwombat's point, steemit actually needs to just be turned completely off, with it would go the trending debacle, rep, which the other dapps barely even notice or use and all the new dapps and sites will and already dont resemble the "reference prototype" that is now steemits' 2004-ish era style of site.
Steemit is done, time to turn it off and use steempeak, zappl, steepshot, dtube, dlive, dsound, wordrow, and on and on and on.
Stick a fork in the now stale, never updated, completely inadequate steemit inc offering.
They can put up a MARKETING site in it's place, what a concept! and keep the wallet functions maybe, at most. And even those suck compared to newer options.
I don't necessarily mean Steemit the front end. I believe this platform, which can be accessed from Steemit's frontend, Steempeak, Busy, or whatever you like, will have a strong fiction presence.
I do think all the other aspects...... zappl, steepshot, etc.... combined make Steem unbeatable.
Will you tell me what defacto fiction blogging platform was announced at Steemcreators last week?
As for rep, I think Steem-ua is onto something with their User Authority thing.
Yes, its called Wordrow.org, and it's not released yet, so if you look at that domain, you'll see some old experimental shit, that has no bearing on the soon to be released "real" thing. It really should still have an under construction sign up to be honest. I'm on the team helping produce it, from The Writers Block and @noblewitness, as its part of our three part writing community, author/reader site and real world incorporated publishing company platform.
Steem UA upon dissection just moves the circle jerk from voting to following. Don't be fooled, it solves nothing and creates bigger problems. They tried it for years with klout.com and it's a fail.
rep and related metrics are useless and just move the gamification over a notch. Thats why most dapps and pre-blockchain apps dont even bother with it.
Thanks for keeping me in the loop. I really look forward to a site that is specifically for us fiction writers.
If you need help with any part of it, let me know. I write fiction pretty much constantly, and I could do my best to lend a hand if need be.
I'm keeping a careful eye on some of these Circle Jerks. Sometimes it's hard not to be fooled when everybody jumps on board a new train.
steampeak is RAPIDLY killing steemit in adoption, there are half a dozen other ways to reg already and when HF20 arrives around sept 25th and is implemented by us witnesses, it brings the complete and total end of needing steemit for reg at all, which they have failed at anyway with multiweek waits, 25 thousand account bot rings with literally sequentially numbered names, and on and on, because the current reg delegation reqs completely flip the script at that point of HF20 without breaking down on a billion details around that here in a comment, it's all in the docs already anyway.
We do NOT need them, and I say that with tenure and technical wisdom and experience both here and in a 35+ year tech career in which I myself am in an executive ownership role over a large scale multi million dollar app. This is literally what I've done for a living for 4 decades. Stinc needs to get out of the fucking way with it's amateur newb management and let those of us out here do what we are already doing anyone, without this stain on it.
