Last couple weeks were quite busy yet exciting with new changes on eSteem and been quite active working with growing translation team of eSteem, we have around 35 people joined translation team. And many languages being reviewed, translated, modified, being tested on app, etc... I can say that translations are essential to increase communities and users around the world. This is first step and by giving everyone tool to use their languages more often, we also attract many new users. Also seeing that this sparked movement on other projects to start managing their internationalization better as well, steemit, busy.
eSteem - we have translated app to more than 10 languages with help of community. That's exciting and awesome to see many joining translation team and doing their share of contribution. Update on this will come next days. We plan to make release today for Android users so translators can start reviewing their work in action.
eSteem - desktop application is coming together and will be announced by the end of this year which will include latest changes of mobile app.
eSteem - have also started esteem-features tag with series of posts, showing some features of eSteem that many people seem to miss. This posts will help in future to direct users to find full set of features that are unique and mobile/desktop optimized. Checkout example here.
SteemAdvent - Advent calendar project is going great, engagement increased and people are getting rewards for their creative comments. SBD earned from those posts used to strength internal market by using it to buy STEEM and send power up reward to participants. Check example here.
Witness - after hardfork, I believe we are now seeing some effects of powerdowns, but market holding strong so far, small dip though. No changes on APR and Feed, I think parameters are ok. Nodes are running smooth, without any miss of blocks, 100% production rate.
Private Messages - got time to put some of thoughts in post about private messaging, hoping to start discussion around this subject.
