Proposal: Dev Portal Documentation

inertia (73) in steemdao • 5 years ago (edited)

Synopsis

I will provide documentation intended for application and tool developers who work on the Steem blockchain.

Timeframe

One month from the start of the approved proposal, from 2019-09-01 until 2019-09-30. Total pay requested for timeframe: 3770 SBD

Deliverables

For the duration of the proposal work timeframe:

Periodic pull requests directed at the devportal github maintained by Steemit, Inc. to appear on https://developers.steem.io once merged.
- "API Definitions" section updates
- "Recipes" section updates, which are programming-language-agnostic tutorials
- Maintenance of existing documentation to ensure ongoing relevance.
Ongoing staged versions of the documentation to appear on inertia186.github.io/devportal, in cases where Steemit, Inc. is blocked (too busy) to merge the changes to the official devportal.
Updates using decline-payout-posts to detail ongoing deliverables in the timeframe.

Rational for Proposal Funding

Using the proposal system means I can decline-payout for related posts, be compensated by SPS Inflation, and thus avoid seeking compensation through Reward Pool Inflation for these deliverables.

In a sense, my ultimate goal is to turn this SPS Inflation into demand for STEEM Power by empowering application developers to expertly deploy Steem applications, leading to their continued desire to power up.

Qualifications

I was on the Steemit, Inc. payroll for 10 months. During that time, I learned the development philosophy and culture and I was part of a developer group called SteemWorks.

I am also accomplished at reverse-engineering, which is a requirement for doing heavy documentation on the Steem blockchain.

Previous Work

During my time at Steemit, Inc., I was part of the team that contributed to the following devportal updates:

Since then, I have provided several updates to the official devportal, which have all been merged by Steemit, Inc.:

Proposal Approval/Rejection Criteria

This is a good proposal idea but are you seriously asking for 130,000 SBD for a months work that is mostly done already? Seems a bit much

Hm, on steempeak I see 3,770 SBD total pay. The second link you put. On the first link it shows 130,000 SBD?

It's 3,770 SBD total pay.

Yeah, looks like steemproposals.com has some localization issues. 130,000 SBD should be displayed as 130.000 SBD (daily rate).

steempeak still seems to show this 130 THOUSAND SBD number that is really making people .prematurely and unnecessarily .. jealous :D

To avoid confusion, all Steem front-ends and Steem-related sites should display only two digits after the decimal sign, whether it's a point or a comma.

There will be no 130SBD per day on Sep 1.

Proposals pays only 1/100 of its budget daily.

drorion (37) · 5 years ago

And it grows only about 2K SBD per day. So on Sep 1 max payment will be around 80 SBD

if anyone deserves to get extra SBD from steem to help developers work on steem its @inertia and honestly, it is NEVER enough to work on projects for steem especially documentation and that work is NOT anywhere NEAr completed. We could document SO much and we SHOULD! It may sound boring t some but its a sure fire way to add value, even if we have some redundancies. But honestly documentation , good documentation can take full time staff and that requires SBD and we could, inertia could, really use that if he got it

I Feel he could add this to include some supplemental educational material to aid the documentation, videos for youtube for all levels of developers (or those looking to become one) to better understand and grasp the possibilities of steem which goes over the heads of most people, even its biggest supporters who usually have to go through a long journey learning about steem. It attracts the intelligent and the compassionaite. But many users dont have the time to document everything they work on, but honestly steem didn't evenhave a wikipedia page for a long time, and even that should be using a STEEM based protocal shouldnt it? I mean wikipedia for steem should have been one of the earliest sort of dapps, but everipedia on eos took most of that cake away but we can bake another... steem can still become a massive hub for scientific research and the storing of data, synchronizing it, ability to record things to sidechains that cant be altered...

Anyway Im off topic but no one is even commenting heer or much ANYWHERE on steem anymore except for a few posts on top trending but the types of opportunist comments you find theer are terrible and from peopel you rarely want to even talk with. All the best of steem happens here in the nooks and crannies, on proposal sections only even visible to people on Steempeak... a front end that shoudl be mroe popular by steemit.com by now but which needs SPS funding to make for its own advertisinga nd onbaording campaign

Oh that remind sme. Ive done the math and steemit inc alone had the SP to create enough accounts for 5 MILLIOn a year so at just 10% instead of 30, liek steemit inc, the rough estimate puts us at around 1.6 Million accounts a year made possible with the funds of 10% of the blockchain to stake SP and use it for FREE account creation , like an internal onbaording mechanism that can garuntee the funds to buy or create accounts for free, with faucets maintained full time by human Ai mix, funded by the SPS again, so theers no reason why we cant do this, and i see it happening soon enough

Steem PS is just beginning and NO other chain has had a proposal system this easy and open to the public.. bitshares was far too esoteric and dash was too expensive and also too complicated for most. As of yet, steempeak makes proposals EXTREMELy easy

We are on teh VERGE of something great

proposals will finally let steem get everything it always wanted or at least a lot of it

just the idea that 10% of SPS or 1% of inflation could be used to create at least around 160 THOUSAND FREE accounst a year is a great start, but if we PURCHASED the accounts at 3 steem each theer could be ... lets see
Supply: 324,392,497 STEEM (Worth $68,366,830 SBD) so at around 8% inflation , 5.4 Million USD worth of Steem this year printed, lets say 540 thousand or 10% is the SPS funds if steem price stays 16 cents.... , and just 50% of the proposal system funds or, $270K a year could pay for 570K new accounts a year lol a start...

of course we cant use ALL of it... for account creation or even half

but i predict a steem engine proposal can be launched to include a new self onbaordoing steem engien that uses steem invite to allow users to just pay to geta steem account loaded with a basket of popular tokens etc., we can give temliek gifts etc, steem nengine github si abot to geta LOT of new contributions.

hi.

"Dev Portal Documentation" sounds like a great idea.
I didn't even know about Steem Developer Portal.

I (as an amateur programmer) wonder
Will it be possible to adapt this documentation for offline usage (for API Documentation Browser https://devdocs.io)?

DevDocs combines multiple developer documentations in a clean and organized
web UI with instant search, offline support, mobile version, dark theme, keyboard shortcuts, and more.
