This is a post for a SteemDAO proposal to fund steemconnect continued improvements and current expenses.
Rational
For the past few months we’ve been released steemconnect 3 and have done a lot of adjustments after that based on users feedback. Our initial plan was to add some fees on steemconnect API paid by users or / and dapps to finance the project, this is something we’ve announced on a previous post. Little bit after the post we received some funds from Steemit Inc. to sustain the project 6 months more so we decided to wait before introducing fees. 7 months after, we believe SteemDAO would be a perfect opportunity for us to finance the project and keep the service running free for users and dapps.
Deliverables
Funds will be spent to pay steemconnect expenses such: the servers, databases, log provider, SSL certificate and domain name. A minimum of 5 hours per week will be spent to improve steemconnect service and give real time support for users and dapps. Here is some improvements we are working on or plan to deliver:
- Keep user posting key unlocked for quick 1 click login
- Run a steemconnect API for the testnet
- Make interface more friendly, improve naming
- Add fallback mechanism if a node fail to answer
- Ability to sign a custom message
- Form to create a new account
- Form to create a signing link
- Create Firefox extension
- And more, this list is not exhaustive
Timeframe
1 year
Budget
9,000 SBD

Are you still interested in doing the work of this proposal? You're only 3m away from the funding... I'd be interested in helping promote this but maybe another post showing renewed interest in doing some stuff. A lot has changed since September of last year so maybe something that says if you have any different plans. People haven't seen you post anything this year so maybe they think you're not actively developing or doing stuff on steem and steemconnect has had some issues recently.
So let me know if you do another post I'd really love to see some solid improvements to steemconnect so I'd love to help this proposal start getting funding.

I'd like to know what you plan to do to make steemconnect easy for the masses to use.
How are you gonna handle the mobile sector that isn't being handled by keychain for example.
If you can work on those issue then you have great value for the future of Steem and that makes the proposal worth it.
I will say our users are leaving steemconnect daily because they're very confused by it and it used to be the simplest system. So I'd love to know what you plan to do to make the experience very intuitive.

The last version was too disconnected compared to the previous one, introducing a lot of confusion.
It must become purified again for mass adoption with an advanced mode possibility (option, button) for those who want it, while remaining simple to integrate in third-party apps such as Auth0 .
To handle the mobile sector it's not a big work, steemconnect can already be used on it. Maybe it just lacks a password less management as mentioned in the post.

I second your last paragraph. Used to be very simple, now confusing.

Right now the solution on mobile is to use steemconnect through the browser. Ideally steemconnect should have his own mobile app, it's not yet on top of our priority list but it may happen within the proposal period. If a contributor want to jump and make a PR to add Cordova webview i will be happy to review and go forward with it, i may create a bounty for it.
Some of the changes we working on come from the feedback document you sent me thank you for that, here is some others things we plan to do to improve UX:

I think you need to review few processes too
Example: this morning when I voted your proposal by https://steemproposals.com/proposal/37 the process was 1 step too much.
Digression: I done by Steemproposals because I don't know why, but it was impossible to do on Steampeak, there was a spinner and nothing happened (Jarvie, if you see this, I'm not sure it was a Steampeak problem, but maybe more keychain).
For me the first step is useless especially since it is reappearing more complete at the third and last step
The process: I connect and confirm my action is more than enough ;)
ps: je renouvelle mon merci pour le travail effectué (ouai désolé en avais marre d'écrire en anglais en plus a un francophone Hahaha) et bonne idée a garder sous le coude pour Cordova :)

I really want to see your product succeed and get be a great option for new users
So let me know if there's anyway I can help because I'd still like to see a non-app simple system for new users in particular because later this year and next year we plan to bring in LOTS of new users.

I support this proposal for funding. Steem connect has made my steem life worth living in so many ways. Thank you for your service!

SteemConnect has, in my opinion, contributed a lot to the development of Steem through its integration on the different frontends, so it would be normal for it to be financed via the SPS, especially since the demand is much more than reasonable.
Thank you for the great work and time you have already invested.

So what happens if this proposal doesn't get funded? Are you going to stop working on SteemConnect?
Are you saying you have no funding method presently?

I've used SteemConnect (who hasn't?) and would like to support this proposal. However, can someone explain the difference between KeyChain and SteemConnect from a user perspective? Do they perform different functions, etc?
