Any plans to make this a UWP app? Major kudos on the account creation - that will be a popular feature. I'd also request delegating SP. These are both popular features Steemit.com doesn't offer, so there's a demand you can fill.

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago

That might come later date where we can slowly adapt it to mobile as well! Yes Account creation will be possible with Delegation as you can see from one of the screenshots. There are many unique features and many of which is going through Usage and Design patterns to prioritize sequency of action which I am really looking forward to see how users will use it with ease 😊

Great to hear! I meant delegating SP to existing users, by the way. Fair amount of demand for that. Eagerly awaiting v2!

Oh man if you make a UWP app that would be great. Could use something like xamarin to make it work with iOS and Android as well! I'm so happy I'm not the only one that's totally down with that haha.

I'm just a regular user, not a developer or anything, so I don't know what Xamarin is. I was skeptical of UWP but I'm totally a UWP convert. It just works so wonderfully - performance is consistent, never bogs down, has all the auto updating, notifications support etc of modern app platforms etc. What I love most is how well it scales and syncs between different devices with screen sizes, pixel densities and device types. It's like magic! I still use many legacy x86 apps, but I try and use UWP wherever possible.

gr1b17cy (50) · 8 years ago

Yeah I'm the same! A huge UWP fan, I also have a windows phone as well and those apps just work seamlessly over to there (think I'm like some kind of 3% of the market or something so edgey!) so I'm all for a nice tight UWP app. As for Xamarin its a platform that allows you share code between apps on different platforms. So instead of having to do your UWP app again for iOS or Android (or whatever way its done), you can share the guts of your app between all of them and then just do your iOS, Android and UWP specific stuff. Its really neat!

Since I have not been able to make v1 work on any of my desktops (a linux and a windows). I hope this v2 desktop runs in either of my desktops. I really want to use this software. The andoid app is fine, I think.

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago

In v1 you will need to go to Settings and change websocket to wss://steemd.steemit.com it should work, but would suggest to wait v1 of the desktop app ;) Thanks!

One step closer to Steem being a fully functioning ecosystem!! I left steem awhile back, but its nice to see huge development ongoing!

vadbars (46) · 8 years ago

Will this work for Golos? Very much waiting for the announcement.

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago

Let's start with Steem and we can expand from there on ;)

vadbars (46) · 8 years ago

Yes, I believe in it! ) Viewing works now, but it's impossible to log in to the Golos yet.

christoryan (57) · 8 years ago

This looks awesome!!!

awesomianist (64) · 8 years ago

Man, wow!!

I'll keep the surprise and wait till v2 is out. E-steem android app is awesome by the way! Is there a way for users to participate in the growth and give feedback?

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago

Thank you!
Yes, eSteem is community driven and what you see now is community effort to make app better and better with their valuable feedback and translation contributions, etc.

Thanks! First version didn't receive any updates that's why not many heard or used it. But upcoming version is indeed different user experience and layout, it is wallet plus extras (exchange, marketplace, communities, etc.)

Nice, sorry can you give a little explaination for delegation ?

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago

You can delegate your SP to someone else so that they can use it to grow. You can also create account with delegation where you pay less fee for creation and compensate rate limit with delegation of SP.

Thank you for all of your hard work @good-karma your version looks very easy to use and I would not know how to use Steemit at all unless you made your other Android apps. Again thanks

From a mobile version to a desktop version! that's really amazing, looks forward to see how it's like, how it works, and the future updates!

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago

Yes mobile and desktop versions work in sync giving users possibilities to work across devices. You bookmark or draft post from mobile and you come back to desktop app and access them...

bbkoopsta (53) · 8 years ago

That's a good feature, it'll make it easier for the mobile users for sure! keep up your excellent work
Btw i recieved my translating bonus thanks a lot, your a good guy wish you the best & success in your life.

By when do you expect to have the Mac version available?

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago

You can try v1 on Mac now, v2 with above changes will take some time but it will be worth the time 😉

edje (69) · 8 years ago

v1 didn't work for me, pwd needs to be typed in by hand. Tried it several times, and didn't work unfortunately. That is why I used SteemWrite that I really liked, but was not finished. But HF18 killed that App. Hence I'm looking out for eSteem desktop.

What is some time? Weeks? Months?

$0.00

good-karma (76) · 8 years ago (edited)

v1 has old default websocket, you should change websocket from Settings page to wss://steemd.steemit.com. Not months that's for sure, but few weeks and we go iterative way same like eSteem mobile app, improve consistently... Depends on project load as well, because as you might know I am working on other projects as well (SteemPoll and others).
