I joined steemit a few days and i have been lurking around n watching everything. So i was wondering, why cant we have a mobile application for steemit ? [ Sorry for the wall of text but please readon :) )
At first Steemit looks just like 9gag application[ https://9gag.com/ ] (Please understand that i have no deals with 9gag and whatever i say is completely my opinion)
Why a mobile application for Steemit would work?
There are hundreds of reasons why this will work but just for the sake of argument, i will post a few.
Steemit in its current form has no advertisements , this is a big deal because there are a lot of people who just hates advertisements would love to have a platform with no excessive advertisements.
People love to express their feelings through pictures and steemit does a very good job in presenting such an idea. The users can post those images which gets commented , upvoted and judged by other users. Every upvote is an ac compliment for a user. Why? Because the voters are random people from random places who we have never seen before or met before.
We all love getting compliments from random people ( the good kind of compliments).
This is the exact reason why 9gag is a huge success, albeit Steemit has an innate advantage over 9gag is that people gets paid for their creations or their posts.
Steemit allows its users to post images or write blogs to express their ideas , their vision or just news stuff. Whatever it is, steemit allows it. Thats a huge selling factor for Steemit.
Steemit is just an absolute amazing combination of what a lot of people love. They get paid. They get to post their creations or blogs. They get to share their vision or creations with random people who can accept it, promote it or simply upvote it.
Steemit could actually become a platform for upcoming artists to present their creations which gets judged by the community. Why this would work? Because if its good, those creations gets commented and upvoted. Good creations gets rewarded for their hard work.
Steemit provides unprecedented opportunity for everyone one and its destined to be success.
Why Steemit needs a mobile application?
Steemit is still in beta-ish and its fairly unknown to the mass population. Creation of mobile application for Android and IOS would allow Steemit to reach a vast population. Steemit would get a huge boost in terms of popularity and users.
At the same time, having a mobile application would increase the users time spent on Steemit which inturn means more active community which results in better and brighter future for Steemit.
Personally i am a 9gag user and i have been using it for last 3 years , to this day i would spent around 1hr minimum on 9gag and everyday before i sleep i would spent atleast 30mins browsing random images. There are millions of other users who does this or even more.
Steemit could be next generation platform to share our creations to the world.
Would you like to see this? Then discuss , comment and upvote.
[P.S If its allowed, i am interested in creating Android app for Steemit (but i have no idea on IOS ) ]
Steemit - By community For the community. Lets join hands and make sure steemit beats all others.
I'm new here too :) I read that you could upvote every few seconds when learning how to use the system and I lost almost all my steam power. I'm re-building it now, it past 20% now. I was wondering today about mining with apps and thought about creating a game Team Lava style like Castle Story or Bakery Story and have people be mining while they play. But - I don't know how to do that 😂😂😂Have a nice day, welcome to steemit 🤑🤸🏽♀️
Thanks for the comment but a simple upvote would be nice :).
And mining is 1 thing and making something for everyone, no strings attached is another thing. I am sure, steemit can beat other social platforms , if everyone works together !
