A Social Network for Curators
Yup is the number 2 app on the EOS Blockchain. It has a lot of daily users *.
What is Yup?
Yup is a site where you can "Curate and share content across the web, Earn money and clout for your taste".
Sounds interesting so I thought I would try it out.
As part of my #rediscovercrypto journey I am looking at what is up and running in Crypto, what has materialised over the last few years. I am really excited to try out all the Dapps that are popular.
Onboarding
I linked my twitter account to log in and I got access to a feed which was fairly intuitive
- The onboarding was fairly straightforward and I could then browse articles and vote on them.
- I seem to have been given an influence rating based on my twitter profile.
Using the Dapp
- I can browse in a regular browser and upvote and add comments.
- There are different categories which you can browse.
Review
Overall the initial experience is a bit confusing but the concept seems interesting and it gives you a different way to browse content on the internet.
- I am not clear on how you can add new content. For example #hive posts.
- I am also not clear how or why it links to the twitter account
- You can also like a metamask extenstion but this seems buggy
- Some of the collections I was trying to browse dont seem to work.
Overall it's an interesting concept and I will give it more time, and see if I can start earning with it by curating.
Edit
The Help docs are here. Why do I always read the manual after I try something out, I dont make my life easy :)

Also More info on the Launch
Whats really interesting about Yup is that they are focusing on using 2 Layer 1 chains. One for Liquidity (ETH) and one for transactions (EOS)
