This is wonderful news! It looks like there are still some things to work through but your priorities on the reading and curation of content I believe are in the right place. If this thing allows for push notifications of various Steemit events (votes, mentions, $ received) in the future, and I have no doubt it will, Steem explodes straight into the stratosphere!
Earlier today, I predicted in a post the first dev to create a fully featured mobile Steem app would probably receive the highest upvoted post in Steemit history to date. Really hoping it happens for you. Thank you for all your hard work on this!
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. It is great to know that people are looking forward to future development on this.
Have you checked out Steem Mobile Android version is available for beta testing, Amazon app store version is also available for Kindle devices. iOS version coming soon. Push notification is also in feature list.
