What's being build on top of the Steem blockchain. 7 projects to showcase. (for my mom who wants to learn more)

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

This post is for my mom.

She asked me to write some more about what is happening on the Steem blockchain when it comes to development.

She wants to have a better idea of what I talk about when she watches my vlogs.

I selected 7 projects to showcase. But many more are in the pipeline.

I was helping my mom on Monday with some Steem questions. Bianca took this.


All these websites are accessible by using your Steem credentials. It's not needed to make new accounts between them.

They are all connected through the Steem blockchain.

I would recommend that you always use your posting key when logging in to any of these websites.

Anyone can build on top of the Steem blockchain. The data is publicly accessible.

Developers can monetize their projects by asking for a certain percentage of the rewards of the content creators.

Personally, I think this system is beautiful.

Content creators get new products to make content with and the developers get a small percentage of whatever the content creators earn with their product. That's win-win.


Website: Steemit

https://steemit.com


Steemit.com was the first frontend build on top of the Steem blockchain. It recently got an upgrade to it's UI. It's the most well-known website to access the Blockchain. Steem inc. is the owner.

The rest of this list are projects build by the community.





Website: Dtube

https://d.tube


Decentralise videos on top of the Steem blockchain. It's an alternative to Youtube. Users can upload videos here freely and share them.

Website: Dsound

https://dsound.audio


Decentralise Music and Podcasts on top of the Steem blockchain. Users can upload their own music and podcast here and share them.

Website: Busy

https://busy.org


A different Frontend to display the content of the Steem blockchain (like steemit.com). (They are working on a new version it's in Beta). Extra note: They don't take a percentage of earnings.

Website: Chainbb

https://beta.chainbb.com


A different Frontend to display the content of the Steem blockchain (like steemit.com) in a forum format.

Website: Dmania

https://dmania.lol


Memes on top of the Steem blockchain. Like 9GAG. Users can upload memes here freely and share them.

Website: Zappl

https://zappl.com


Zappl is microblogging on the steem blockchain (like Twitter). It's just the website for now but an app will be released before the 5th of November.

The STEEM blockchain is so much more than just Steemit.com.

There is an incredible amount of development going on next to Steemit.com and it's so much fun to follow.

It's all active development too. So these products tend to get better over time with new features and upgrades.

The biggest problem I face when explaining the Steem blockchain is separating Steemit.com from the Steem blockchain. People tend to think they are the same. But that's not true.

Even if Steemit.com would disappear overnight (I hope not) the rest of these websites and frontends would still work because the Blockchain is still there in the background and all the data would still be there.

That is what makes the blockchain so powerful.

Thank you for making this post. It's also nice to know I'm not the only one who finds this post very helpful. When I read the reactions I found a lot of people who are glad you made this post.

My only question is: how secure our keys when we sign up for those variety of front-ends using our steemit creds?

Dear @exyle You gave complete information and it is interesting. Let me come to know please the difference between steemit.com and steem blockchain

Hii dear friend @exyle, nice projects discussed here along with your respected Mom, very helping article for us now a days ve facing problems on steemit.com website, nice solution of these problem and issues. keep it up, hope for best

I also came across this one
https://stage.steemiz.io

thanks!

Really nice summary of all the different front ends for the block chain. It took me a while to figure out the difference between the block chain and steemit. This article will be my go to source when I want to easily explain that. You should definitely do more of these :)

fantastic post my friend, you describe seven great project and they all can be used to access the steem blockchain, i personally use busy and chainbb and both of them fetches the exact same data which we have on steemit.com and if we found steemit.com is down we can use busy or chainbb, i also like to mentioned about https://esteem.ws it is another good project and we can access steem blockchain by downloading there mobile app on our i.phone, ipad or android devices, i absolutely agree with you my friend that these developments are created on top of steem blockchain and they surely add more strength to steem blcokchain and i am sure many more developments and projects are yet to come.

@exyle i also find https://stage.steemiz.io/@adnanrabbani/blog project even though i didn't use it yet but i like to hear your thoughts about this project.

Stay happy and blessed my friend and thanks for sharing

What about the keys? They will be requiring our Steemit creds upon signing up. How safe is that?

i think it would be better if you use your posting key to sign in instead of master password.

both great additions!

thank you very much my friend.

I love this. You really took your time to explain this. Thank you @exyle

Hey @exyle, your discussion with your mom better and informative for us like as new users low knowledge in steemit.com. nice description here. its easily understand how i used steem blockchain system without any doubt. As per the these condition you showing some imagine step by step & website by website. Also clearly explain how will I do solve some issues in blockchain system.
Absolutely better contribution sir...
Resteemed your post for see steem community.

I will use this post to support my words when I talk to my friends about the possibilities and benefits of steemit.
I might show it to my mother too.

@exyle,
I didn't know about 2 apps from this list and got an idea! Actually this is a very useful article for me too! Thank you dude you are always very helpful! Appreciate your effort!

Cheers~

Hi mark, very great information about the power and authority of block chain system. Thanks for the valuable assurance that our future will be stable in the black chain system. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing. I hope your mother was able to get what she wanted to know?

@exyle - Sir it's a nice summary of very useful projects run on Steem Block Chain... This is not only a Block Chain... now it becomes lives of ours..... No other Block Chain influences us like Steem do.... Very useful information you shared Sir.... To get more audience, I wish to ReSteem your post.

Thx for sharing, do you have a personal favorite?

No, but I use Dtube, busy.org, Steemit.com the most.

I like how your mum finds technology interesting particularly blockchain and Steem; it is a rare sight at this day and age. It's also heart warming that you as a son are spending much quality time with your mum in this area, may you and your family have a great time ahead.

Just one question, if I post in dmania, will it be posted to my steemit account also?

Yes, it will. With all of them btw.

My dear friend, one humble request from my side. It is going to be nearly two months I am always reading your blogs and learning some good life lessons from you. During these days, have you visited my posts anytime? I will be really very very happy if you do so and support me. I am really loving this steemit platform and working hard to make it a great community. I do not follow too many people here, only those I love the most and add value to my life.

I just posted 4 memes on there so far. Never thought that the caption would appear as a title on Steemit. It looks very messy for me so I needed to edit my caption via @steemit. The thing is, the permalink never changed. At least I learn a lesson.

Hi, @exyle! Great post! There are so many interesting and exciting projects for the Steem blockchain, and I'm sure these are going to attract a huge amount of new users in the coming years. A great project that I really like is Steepshot; an app that kind of turns Steem into an Instagram interface. I think people will love this app since it allows them to take "everyday pictures" and get paid for the upvotes it receives.

it seems like such an influx of new stuff has been built just recently which has to be healthy for the general steem token which is great for everyone putting in effort and helping amplify the great platform that it is. i really feel that the next six months will be the great rush forward out of beta! :)

wasn't aware of a couple of these projects, thanks for sharing the info about it

You are welcome.

When it comes to new updated on Steemit related I always look into your blog @exyle. Here again you have provide us with very useful information about the Steem blockchain developments.
Thanks @exyle

wow, i had no idea about that. cheers! is it a way to "mine" steems there as well, as we do it on steemit? ;)

Yes, you can earn Steem in the same way.

In my opinion these projects will be what really makes Steemit get popular. I'd like to see a store like e bay built on it where people buy and sell stuff with steem

I knew most of these, but it's definitely nice to be seeing them all in one place. I didn't know zappl was coming out with an app so that's awesome news, and so soon!

thank to your mom even we came to know a lot of interesting things today perfectly written post its always exciting to know about steemit everyday :)

Hahahaha my mom asked me every day that why I am wasting my time on steemit instead of asking that what it is :D

You got all the info covered here!!

Nice post

Well done Mum for asking those questions, I think we all learned something, please keep on asking.
