If anyone was following my series on steemit api consumption, then tomorrow will be the post. I would have done it yesterday but it has been a roller coaster of a day, yes I felt like puking at the end, wondering my life choices. Hell of a way to open. Here is a joke.
A man called his friend’s house and a small voice greeted him.
“is your daddy there?” he asked.
“yes”
“could I speak with him?”
“He’s busy”, the little voice replied.
“well then can I speak to your mother?”
“Nope, she is busy too.”
“well then, let me talk to your brother.”
“He’s busy too.”
“For goodness sakes, what are they so busy doing?”
“They are looking for me.”
Hehehehe.
I make this post to announce to you guys that my steemit app for android has been uploaded for an alpha release.
Why do we need yet another app?
Well I didn’t like the current one, got tired of opening the browser in my phone so I went ahead and made it.
It does not need your password. Only your private posting key. So you are safe. No I do not upload them back to me you paranoid people. What will I gain by a few votes?
What works?
- Viewing your feed
- Blog
- Comments
- likes with live power and value
- reblog
- all the likes on a post including the value of each
- commenting
- viewing others profiles
Blazing fast.
What to expect in the future?
- Ability to post
- trending tags
- follow
- follower views
- notifications with replies, and smart replies.
- Better profile page.
- Wallet actions using STEEMCONNECT. So you know it is secure.
I will never ask for any key except your posting key.
Does it look pretty? No, it is an alpha.
Will we be charged for using it?
Only 10% on your comment payouts and in the future your post payouts.
It is a lot of work to make it. It is broken up between me and one more developer, whose code was used it parts. In the future I will make it every alternate ones. Everything else if free.
Also, beware, since it is so easy to vote, you will vote more often and that will drain your power. It happened to me. So go ahead and use it. If you have suggestions or feature requests then please type them out in the comments. I will totally read them. No really, I will.
If you have any suggestions for an app name, feel free to suggest it.
Until the next time then.
