Introduction
One of the most difficult thing to keep up with, is the number of projects founded on the Steem blockchain. Hundreds of apps are available, some are block explorers, some are programming tools, some witness tools. But it's impossible at this point to track everything that is going on. It's a great problem to have but someone had to step up to solve it...

What SteemProjects.com Is
SteemProjects help us to know what apps are being developed on the Steem Blockchain. It gives helpful information such as:
- A description of the project
- The team and contributors on their github (each user has their own profile on SteemProjects.com)
- The amount of activity on the github
- A timeline of the project
From there you can bookmark by adding a project to your "Favorites" in order to have fast and easy access in the future.
How To Add Your Favorite App to SteemProjects.com
It's fairly straight forward. All you have to do is login via Github or SteemConnect and go to "Add Project" in the top right corner.
From there, you are presented with a form to add your favorite Steem app or project to steemprojects.com website.
A reputation score is allocated to each project to help users make better decisions. I think this is particularly important in the case of browser extentions, desktop applications, mobile apps and ICOS.
Why I Think SteemProjects.com Is Important
With the advent of SMTs, hopefully in the next few months, many projects will want to launch their ICO and I believe thousands of new apps will come alive via the Steem Blockchain. It is a great place to advertise your future ICO as well as giving users a survey of what you want to do (along with a reputation score from SteemProjects)
We already have a hard time to keep up and catalog everything that is going on, imagine when ICOs will come live! SteemProject seems to be a clean and straightforward way for people like me to bookmark my favorite projects and know which one are active, who's in the team, the timeline, etc.
With SteemProjects, we don't only depend on the devs of an app or SteemProjects devs to keep the site updated, we have the whole community participating!
