Steem Desktop Client

in steem-dev •  8 years ago 

Does anyone know about a desktop client for steem? I heard about the eSteem Desktop client built on electron, but there doesn't seem to be active development at the moment. Any other apps out there?

The projects I'm aware of so far (no web apps):

Would be nive to have an overview of ongoing projects related to steem.

Hi, thanks for mention!
eSteem desktop is under constant development along with mobile app, v1 of desktop app was initially ported from mobile app but we have decided to give desktop user more friendly and easier access with different user interface and work on v2 is going behind the scenes! You can check some updates and sneak previews in my blog on how it will look like! 😉
steemtools.com has full list of apps!

Whats the stack for both apps?
Haven't seen any progress in the desktop client repo on github. Secret?
TBH I have a lot of issues with the app on iOS, crashes quite often or doesn't react anymore.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

It is electron with angularjs and nodejs. Vessel is also I believe electron but with reactjs.

Yes, eSteem mobile will receive update soon which should address these issues. Usually I push changes to github right before/after announcement post ;)

I still get a huge grin on my face when I see you posting with esteem, talking to someone on steemit.com, and I'm here reading on chainBB :)

That's awesome feeling indeed! :) Perhaps chainBB can link eSteem posts to esteem.ws or #esteem tag to give some direction so users can learn more? Until webapp is out, which I think will use similar formatting to link posts/comments...

I thought I had that implemented already, but you're right, it doesn't link.

I'll fix that for ya!

Great, thanks! ;)

Ok, will check it.
The app is cordova and ionic as far as I can see, right?
You thought about react native?

Yes that's right!

Thought of gradually migrating to react native but that takes time. Do you develop in react native?

Yes, I have a long history in dev, actual focus is (still) meteor, with react/redux, and react-native (I don't use meteor/cordova anymore for mobile).
Checking out what to contribute to the steem community at the moment..

Great, you are on Steemit.chat?

Not yet. The registration seems broken at the moment. I'll try later, have to take care of the family now. I'll ping you..

Can't register on steemit.chat, no login, no emails. Do you know who the hoster is?

Please, .deb or rpm. Why not appimage? It is better to be cross distro to better serve linux users like me for example. :) Does not agree ?

I think you've got the whole list currently, I don't know of any other desktop apps at the moment.

Yep, seems so. Didn't find anything else yet, only outdated projects.
The steemstools.com which @good-karma mentioned is not really up to date (if maintained at all).
