Hello Steem Community :)
I've been anticipating the release of the new Smart Media Tokens because I have so many ideas on new apps to build that would be based on the Smart Media Tokens.
The idea of gamifying web applications by rewarding users and growing your application sounds like something I want to be a part of. Additionally this will only help strengthen the Steem Coin.
Ok, the reason for that intro is because a few months ago I purchased the domain steemgag.com, which is going to be a website similar to 9GAG but built on top of the new Smart Media Tokens. Check out the site and signup for updates to learn about the progress of this project.
So, if you've never been to 9GAG, in it's simplest form it is a website where users can share funny images and gifs and users upvote or downvote the images and gifs/videos. I feel that the Smart Media Token will be perfect for this type of site. Plus the users who add and curate content will be rewarded with SteemGag Coins, which can then be converted into Steem Tokens and converted into actual money :)
I've had some experience creating sites similar to 9gag for quite awhile. In fact I created one of the top selling Viral Media Script on CodeCanyon.
Unfortunately it looks like there are not any Native PHP libraries supported in the Steem Developer Portal, nonetheless I'm sure the Javascript version can be ported over to PHP, or I may write the script in NodeJS.
Anyway, if you all could give me any advice, encouragement, or thoughts on this idea, I would love to hear them :)
Thanks! And I look forward to getting your feedback.
