We're happy to announce Steepshot, a platform that rewards people for sharing their lifestyle and visual experience.
You can use it to share cool pictures you've taken with your mobile phone, curate and comment photos your friends make and never worry that any third party will censor your images.
Preview
Since @pmartynov has presented the concept at SteemFest 2016 in Amsterdam we've become a team of enthusiast engineers ready to continue improving the app.
The project was strongly supported by the community and the development of the app was started. Since then we've been working on the architecture and core functionality of the mobile part.
Launch
Today we're launching public alpha test version of Steepshot Android application for Steem.
Our plan is to provide everyone with a simple and transparent way for sharing visual content and curating visual experience of other people. But first of all, get some feedback from amazing Steem community!
How the app works

Awesome job, just did a test post and made some quick notes on the experience here :)
Keep up the great work guys

Looks very promising! I don't use instagram myself so I don't really have much input but it's always good to see steem being used in other apps! Keep up the good work and when it's ready I'm sure we'll all help promote it

This looks really neat! Something I have been pushing for strongly for quite a while... Just wanted to make sure though, this is being built on the steem blockchain right? If so, how will you keep other things posted on steemit.com from showing up on steepshot?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes, it is being built on Steem blockchain.
We're auto-adding 'steepshot' tag and 'steepshot' app label to json_metadata for each post made by Steepshot app and will use this info to filter out all other posts.

I'll be interested to see how Steemit and Busy adapt to these new specialized front ends. They'll need to enable some filtering just like Steepshot is planning, but in reverse. The current "new" and "trending" pages won't really hold up well if flooded by blockchain content from sites that have formats akin to instagram, twitter, and youtube.
The sites will need to adapt to either present everything in an appealing way, or focus on written longer form content.
These concerns aside, I'm totally in favor of all of these sharing the same Steem blockchain.

How do you filter content from steem blockchain to have only pics ?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
For alpha test version, we're using regular expressions to parse picture URLs out of the content of existing Steem posts and showing the first picture from each post.
In future, we'll only show the content created by our application, filtering out the content made by other clients.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That will be cool - I think having apps that create their own posts will actually be better in the long run - it will allow each app to create it's niche and reduce content confusion.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Probably by allowing only four tags, with "steepshot" being an automatically added tag, which is checked for before loading it into the application on the user's phone.
But I dunno, I'm not associated with them.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes, as you've mentioned, we'll use filtering by "steepshot" 5th tag or json_metadata steepshot "app" label (or both).

Oh, I'm happy I was right then.
But must this use the existing Steem blockchain?
It might be more reasonable to start completely from scratch, and create your own currency, even if it's just ported from Steem's code.

Building lots of apps on the same blockchain is a good thing, not a bad thing. Metcalfe's Law means that the networks will benefit in terms of value far more if they're part of the same one rather than fractured apart.

We're moving forward step by step with current focus on mobile and web clients for Steem blockchain.
Although we love Steem, we don't exclude the possibility of moving to a separate Graphene-based blockchain in future.

Posting keys still confuse a lot of people, so we've decided to let the user map a normal password to a posting key once during the registration and then use this password for further logins.
However, this process will probably change in newer versions when Steem Login and Signing Service for Third-Party Applications is released in Q3 (according to the Steemit Roadmap 2017)

This is a neat idea :) managed to register okay and connect it to my Steemit account after reading the comments here.
Now I'm trying to make a photo post. Took a bit to work out how to add tags, but got that sorted. Now though, it gives me an error when trying to post. Says creating post is impossible, Cloudinary API error "Invalid URL for upload".
Eta. Nevermind, I pressed the back arrow at the top of the create post page to return to trending. It showed the Login button in the corner, so I logged in again and started the post from scratch and it worked this time.
When I go to my profile in the app it shows the one photo post, but says I have 2 photos in the text above the post list/grid.
