This year PeakProjects team has put all our time and energy into PeakD.com along with some updates to PeakMonsters.com (market for Splinterlands.io)
The results have been awesome. We've added a long list of exciting new features meanwhile SteemPeak.com has stood still.
It has become clear that SteemPeak.com will not be a priority for our team moving forward and so we're moving forward with a plan to sunset the site.
I suppose we don't really need to explain the reasons and many may be apparent but here's some of our thinking.
REASONS
No plans for future development
Our team is not interested or invested in the Steem blockchain anymore
Desire to remove distractions from our focus on PeakD.com and Hive
Centralized Censorship (even of our own posts)
We have no sense of trust that even this post won't be censored
Lack of solid blockchain foundations and developers
Distinct lack of API options which are important to a website like SteemPeak (And remaining node operators give a censored experience)
Lack of business plan for SteemPeak.com or interest in creating one since our focus is on better performing PeakD.com
If something were to break or a HF was to occur we wouldn't have the time to fix or upgrade.
We don't know how to contact any blockchain or node developers on Steem anymore
We do not speak the primary language of Steem users which makes things a bit harder
Leave on a good note... not leave when it breaks or something else happens.
Most users have moved to PeakD.com even though there are some who still post on both sites.
THE PLAN
- We plan to sunset the site completely at the end of 2020
- We will turn the site into view only mode by the end of November 2020
- We will make some changes that point visitors to content on PeakD.com or help content creators realize they can keep creating content there.
THE EXCEPTION
We reserve the right to change our mind if something drastic happens (this includes speeding up the process). We will let you know if this happens.
SELL??
We also are willing to transfer the site to good hands. However, to set expectations to users; that is unlikely and would not be cheap proposition to a new owner as it comes with thousands of hours worth of code... so keep that in mind for expectations. But maybe someone wants to have a steempeak style site in Korean for Steem users who remain.

It is important to concentrate on the important things. I support the shutdown. With the development of PeakD there is enough work to do and I am glad that you are such a great team that brings such a great value to the hive community.
There is no room for a great frontend on a centralized platform!

I'm sad to see this but can completely understand. Thanks for making what I consider to be the best interface that this side of things has ever had.
While it is regrettable that you guys are taking off I totally understand why you are doing so.
Godspeed

Удачи в разработке новых интересных функций!
Жалко, конечно, что Стим остается без красивой надстройки, но для его основного функционала это почти ничего не значит. =)

удобство интерфейса для юзера значит, например, что он может перестать быть юзером вообще. ей-ей. а так, вынося за скобки юзерскую массу - да, для стима и его мажоритариев это ничего не значит, всё так и есть.

Со всеми гениальными вещами есть одна проблема, кто будет платить за то чтобы они были. Здесь желающих помочь ребятам материально, не нашлось. Поэтому, да, и вы и я, не отказались бы от прямо сейчас нахаляву в Париж, но в наличии только родные пенаты. ;-)

с гениями и гениальными произведениями - не одна, а много проблем. и первая из них, чаще, та что они обогнали свое время, и оценивают их (высоко, и денежно) уже другие поколения.
в данном случае нет гениального произведения, а есть хорошо выполненная работа программистов, которые - прибегая к условно образному языку аналогий - обслуживали мотор, и делали это на пятерочку, получая вознаграждения от всей команды. а потом власть на корабле сменилась, он поплыл в совершенно другую сторону, и этот мотор обслуживать некому. и те программисты, с берега, машут ручкой тем кто остался на корабле, мол, до свидания и извините что так вышло, но мы, уже не с вами, потому что (в силу ряда причин пути разбежались....) и если (обязательно) в силу следующих форков мотор перестанет работать ваще, просьба нас не пинать, объективно мы тут не при чем. и прямым текстом говорят что нашу работу никто не оплачивает, какого хрена мы будем продолжать этот мотор обслуживать? работы много, код из много-строчек, да у нас и другая есть работа (Хайв) на которой лучше стоит сфокусировать внимание. фраза "не нашлось желающих помочь материально" сильно режет мое редакторское ухо. не о "помощи" речь вовсе.
