What timing - I have just found out that the Steemy App had been released a couple of minutes before this post. We were working on this design earlier though, so it overlapped!

Here is the App that has been released in the meantime:

Not released. Their post is an announcement of an upcoming announcement.

I upvoted your post because it is nice design work that I appreciate. Hopefully these design ideas someday make it into one or more apps.

Yesterday there was so much confusion about the Steemy App, it looked like the App was already downloadable but it wasn't. And he didn't explain that properly.
So now my Design Proposal is still valid and maybe the steem community can still use it for inspiration.

But thank you anyway for upvoting the design work so that more people have the chance to see it now that it has been ranked higher.

In part obscurity and the somewhat random component of what gets noticed on this platform and in part because this is a design proposal not a promise of an app. Apparently the latter generates more enthusiasm.

I am eagerly awaiting an app for both iOS and android. What I have seen so far is nowhere near as good as your proposal.

I've noticed on my phone (still rocking the 4s I know time for an upgrade) that when there are a lot of comments the scrolling feature gets somewhat "jumpy" for a lack of a better term. That may be due to the processor of my ancient phone, but would be interested to have others weigh in.

Being able to post content from a mobile device easily will be key. Maybe you could work with @blueorgy to integrate the Steemimg.com file hosting service into the app.

It is very difficult to format with raw html on the phone, so an easy "Microsoft Word" type editor would be useful.

Push notifications are a must as you noted already, and whether steemit chat it the best for mobile or if you wanted to come up with something more similar to fb chat that would be a pretty nice edition.

Maybe instead of clicking on the little reply button when you go to make a comment something like this would be helpful.

So if you clicked anywhere inside one of those rectangles (the rectangles are just for reference) it would open a reply text box.

Also to the best of my knowledge the little // inside the square at the bottom right of the text boxes for comments and posting blog posts does not allow you to drag and make it larger so you do not have to scroll up and down to edit comments.

But I'm excited to see this come to fruition. If I can be of any help to you @sirwinchester, please feel free to contact me. Whether that be ideas or features etc. Would love to be a part of this project.

That's a good suggestion, thank you. I agree that the "reply" button can sometimes be a little to small to push with your finger.

I'm hoping that an iOS App will be a reality soon!

Absolutely! I don't know how hard it would be to then create an app for android and also for amazon's version of android as well, but the more devices the better. The amount of value added by a successful project like this will be astronomical.

Hello @mammasitta, iOS app is in review by Apple, today I heard back from Apple, they said it will take little longer. You can checkout progress for Android now. For iOS, once review is done and released, I will push other changes that Android already has. Version 1.0.0 has been submitted to iOS review last Monday, since then Android had number of changes version 1.1.0... More changes coming tonight with version 1.1.1.

This app would be great, as a newbie here I am still working out how to do full posts with added photos, I have to learn about ( stars, brackets, hashtags, and so on......). Lol, I nearly typed those out before realising that my post might look weird. Told you I was a newbie, but finally to my question , you say one could summit posts, will that be the same or easier then this platform?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm that's a good question. If possible, I would like to make it easier so that no coding has to be done on the phone. So I'd like to have an extended version of the editor that we already have on here, where you can already center the images etc.

Yes , We need an app urgently , I saw a few designs floating around especially for android and this one looks clean and nice. I am not tech savy at all but logging in through safari is a drag for me with bad internet connection most of the time here in Indonesia. Writing blogs is also complicated especially when codes turn out wrong somehow ( who knows why ) and you find yourself puzzled why you are not allowed to post "missing posting authority " . I am close to giving up on this platform.

I really like your design. Do you think the steemit website design is good?
I think you could use basically the same design for the website than you did for the app.
The top bar could be night blue ( as in the app) with the steemit logo ( no need to write steemit), the menu logo,avatar and search button in white. Submit a story could also be as in the app with a light blue font.
Then you could have another small night blue element on the interface ( category drop down ), this needs to be only a small part of interface as night blue is strong color but it would be good to have a small contrast with the bar on top.
Then you can play with light and night blue with very small element on the interface, for example you can have a light blue circle notification next to avatar, author username text could be night blue and the upvote button could have the night/light blue steemit logo in it. This will create a very clean interface with a nice contrast of colors, not too heavy.
I am sure the community would love it if you create a design like this for the actual steemit.com website.
Let me know what you think
