I noticed this post about BUSY and decided to share my opinion .

Even the work is not yet complete, but the primary tests showed that the new BUSY works much awesome than the previous one. 3.2 times waiting to test the new BUSY...

Pretty not bad, huh?

In general, we are waiting for the update.

The major reason why I don't use Busy is because it is a little slower than the Steemit.com UI.

I don’t think I’ll jump in the beta, there are some big features not yet implemented and there are many more patient testers than I! However this is looking amazing! I think this could easily be my new front end on release...

Any talk or designs for filtering content from apps like Zappl or Steepshot and placing it in its own area/widget? I’d love to see functionality like this. It’ll soon be needed to keep feeds coherent and manageable, but I’d love to have a portal for the most used Steem services all in one place.

Keep up the great work!

ekitcho (60) · 7 years ago

thank your for your support. We will give many updates on the incoming enhancements and hope to have you on board soon.
Any idea of big features you want as priority ?

For filtering content and custom feeds or widget, we changed to design to add some sidebars area which allow tons of possibilities to display/filter contents. There are already few ideas that actually covers your request but it wont be implemented any time soon.

We will also probably allow creation of 3rd parties app embed in Busy. Any developer will be able to create its own app with specific features and be integrated into the platform, just like some Facebook Apps are available to the users.

bryan-imhoff (66) · 7 years ago

Actually, looking over the feature lists you posted, I may give it a try soon! It’s really just the lack of downvote, user blocking, and vote slider that would keep Busy from being fully functional for me at the moment. Obviously wallet integration is big, but I do use Vessel for most of my wallet management.

Glad to hear the thought process on widgets and filtering. I do think it’s important to address as soon as possible, as differently themed front ends proliferate.

I’d love to see reward splitting options available when posting, especially with a nice UI that perhaps applies badges (pulling relevant avatars) clearly showing readers where rewards are headed. It’s common in so many scenarios that users pledge liquid rewards to other accounts, causes, etc. I’d love to see these practices make use of the abilities of the blockchain to be guaranteed, automated, and secure.

tolkatore (55) · 7 years ago

Let me ask you guys a question, could people vote to make your posts invisible on this platform as well, or is it truly a decentralized Twitter?

$0.00

kevinwong (76) · 7 years ago

First of all, content will always be on the blockchain so theres no censorship. Secondly, apps can white-out flagged posts, but again upvotes and downvotes are by the community and not decided by one person. So in that sense, its quite decentralised. As for twitter, theres just the one company that can decide.

$0.12

tolkatore (55) · 7 years ago

I understand, but could they white-out on Busy too?

$0.00

lovejoy (67) · 7 years ago

Sure, any front-end can determine what users do or do not see. But in the end, as the open-source code that underlies front-end development proliferates, users will be able to gravitate towards services which align with their needs and values. In the future we should see competition among applications for users that wish to access the Steem blockchain, much like individual websites compete for our use and attention on the internet today.

the-ego-is-you (59) · 7 years ago

siavach (66) · 7 years ago

I'm already on the beta version for a month. Unfortunately also for a month, I do not have time to publish many articles. But I can testify that the beta version brings a big plus in the user experience and allows interractions (via suggestion) that was not possible before.
Busy, begins to make emerge communities of Steemians who can easily find each other.
The future is ours, thanks to Busy !!!!

taspingo (50) · 7 years ago

It looks better in design than steem.

shyuan (38) · 7 years ago

I saw a combination of Twitter and Facebook, in a way. But I don't mind at all, because it's very sleek! Really hard to choose between the old design and new design! They two have different feels.

After testing for a bit, the only question I have for now is, must we use Source Sans Pro font? Source Sans Pro font looks good only in certain font sizes. So, I personally prefer to stick with Whitney for the entire site. Looks neater in my personal opinion. =)

Hope to see dark mode in the near future too! ;-)

kaptainkrayola (55) · 7 years ago

Great to see this project still alive and growing! I remember the very, very early days of the first version of the app so seeing it this far along is awesome. Great work @busy.org team!

jyezie (61) · 7 years ago

I hate it I hate it I hate it. Punaise je déteste ce nouveau look.
I get a Facebook like feeling when I see the interface. I am very sad 😓😖😖.

I am so disappointed I feel like I should make my own website that uses your old design. I know I will most likely be in the minority here but anyway!!

Sad but I wish you good luck because how you are working like crazy and doing such a good job.
Bonne chance

doelist (51) · 7 years ago

This design is more sexy. Facebook looks like old style internet. I think

jyezie (61) · 7 years ago

It's just not my type. It reminds what I want to avoid but I understand the choice. This also means that , even though they have the cash in the system, people will still compare them on the features they have. Not sure they will win like that.

the-ego-is-you (59) · 7 years ago

Even a minority opinion matters. I'm sure the team could use the impression of a dissatisfied user as well.

jyezie (61) · 7 years ago

But I still support them 100%. They do an awesome job IMHO.

ekitcho (60) · 7 years ago

thanks for your support. Totally understand. It wasn't an easy choice and things might change and evolve as well in the future. For now we do think it's a good layout which allow many possibilities and is easy for anyone who used Facebook. The goal behind this is mainstream adoption.

Thanks for your support anyway and hope you'll try the platform

jyezie (61) · 7 years ago

I will definitely try it. I still think you make choices that promote interactions between Steemians.

johano (59) · 7 years ago

Still I don't understand why we need this one as we have already steemit the original. Shall we work with both?

$0.00

ragepeanut (62) · 7 years ago

I would say having a lot of websites interacting with the Steem blockchain is a really good thing. Not only because people can choose depending on which one they prefer but also because it makes it harder to censor us by DDOSing.

steevc (73) · 7 years ago

It's about having a choice. Other sites may provide things that Steemit does not. Busy has private messages and draft posts. When the Steemit site got attacked we needed an alternative. Use whatever works for you

eternalsunshine (51) · 7 years ago

Oh oh. Didn't know about the private messages. That's a very good thing.

Hi wonderful busy dev team.

I have a question about the resilience of Frontend app (like steemit and busy).
I've wrote a little article here.
https://steemit.john-at-me.net/fr/@evildido/heberger-son-steemit-une-necessite-pour-defendre-steem-yep-another-steemit-instance

Steemit has made an easy way to deploy a new instance. And in my point of view. It's one (not only) solution to defend steem blockchain.

Do you plan to provide similar solution with busy (ex : with docker) ?

Thx for all your effort to make Steem popular.

fabien (62) · 7 years ago

We have a Docker file in our GitHub repo too :p, Busy code should be quite easy to deploy.

tarekadam (67) · 7 years ago

The UI screenshot and gif looks amazing! To be honest one of the things that prevented me to use busy before was the editor and that no images could be dragged in like on steemit.com.

I am looking now very much forward to the updated version and see myself using it much more and frequently! Well done!

For some reason that I'd like to see explained myself using a posting key is not enough. (talking about the new site)

I'm not the slightest worried about it though, since I don't count my money at the table and also because it's the Busy team after all.

richq11 (72) · 7 years ago

I tried all of mine and none worked. I don't use busy anyway- but my keys work fine on Steemit and that's what counts.

$0.00

the-ego-is-you (59) · 7 years ago

Do you use any other Steem based apps? Keys should work everywhere, unless there is a bug or if you're not yet approved for the limited beta.

If you're talking about the current busy.org, it only requires the private posting key as far as I know. The new site requires the private active key.

richq11 (72) · 7 years ago

I've tried them all. This happened before. I had to do a recovery on my account and the same thing happened before the recovery and after. Maybe they just don't like me!

eternalsunshine (51) · 7 years ago (edited)

Hmmm ... that is strange indeed, unless you are using your owner key here in Steemit and they are only accepting posting key in Busy ? (which is better for safety reasons).
