Introduction
Hi everyone!
I've never been an App-Developer. I'm more into theoretical stuff in Computer Science. But I've had to do a project and had fun coding.
For improving my skills I'll be doing some posts about my progress, what I plan to do and so on.
If anybody is interested how I did stuff, I can explain things too.
The main goal is to design a user-friendly app for Steemit. So we can grow as a community. I know, I know, there is already a good App. Everybody check it out, it's called eSteem.
The creator is: @good-karma
I personally like the functionality about it. But I don't really like the layout.
That's actually the reason I came up with this idea.
Before the app goes to the PlayStore, the code will be published on GitHub and the link will be posted here, so the community can check if it's scam. :)
This will only be a blog about me programming an App. I'll write a post when I feel so, since I don't have much time right now and don't know how much time I have for coding. This implies of course that I don't know when it will be finished. But keep looking for my posts about it and please comment your wishes and expectations in the comment section. :)
Current state:
I'm using the SteemJ library by @dez1337.
SHORT QUESTION: I'M USING IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING OTHER. BUT IS THERE ANOTHER POSSIBILITY TO GET THE DATA A LITTLE BIT FASTER?
But still, huge respect to dez1337 for the hard work. I like it!
I'm currently working on the feed. There will be three tabs: Following, Favourites and All.
Following are the post of the people you're following, All are all posts where you can sort them by trending,...., Then I'll do the Favourites Tab, where you can check out all your favourite Tags. But this will be of course locally on your device, since Steemit doesn't offer such a feature. And I have to customize the layout a little bit!
Future plans for implementing
I need to finish the Feed stuff at first (maybe without the favourites for now), implement it properly and fast. Then the next thing will be to show the post with the comments. Next I'll implement the functionalites of upvoting and commenting and so on. After that I'll do the Tag-Browser (second Buttob at the Bottom). After that I'll show the profiles properly and in the end it's all about the money and I'll add the wallet and somewhen before that of course: the ability to post your content.
Okay, when done with this: I'll be improving performance and fix the major bugs and publish it. Then I'll be adding more and more functionality (hopefully in coorporation with other developers (Okay, I'm not the good developer haha) here) and of course make an iOS app in colaboration with a good friend of mine.
How you could help?
At the moment I want to do it myself, but if I really am adding much functionality, I'd like some people around me with the interest of giving something to the Steemit community. So you can message me if you want on the steemit chat.
Of course show me that you're interested and leave an upvote, a comment. And if you hate me leave a flag. Just joking, don't do that. Please don't donate, since I just started and I don't know if I will finish this project or when.
Cheers!
Steem is the best way to earn money i like it so much dear
