Its quite interesting and sad, knowing that we have a platform for Twitter like posts, yet it is seriously being underutilized.
To me, my stand has always been that, a seperate tab for zappl posts be created to enable people use it more.
the above part of the post was written in Zappl, the bottom part was edited and added on steemit because zappl has refused to upload my pics!!. . . . . . .and because zappl has some challenges i saw while running through the platform just now
Hello steemians
Like i said above, its interesting and sad, not because zappl isnt an amazing platform , but because the purpose it was designed for doesn't really suite the current steemit yet.
Steemit as of right now is majorly blogging platform, with the social media aspects(interactions, community ) being provided by extra services like rocket chat, discord, comment section, wallet memo etc
The main problem about the steemit system, is the fact that all posts from all the frontends, be it dsound, dlive, dtube, chainbb, etc etc, are collected and able to be seen on the main steemit interface.
I believe for zappl to take of fully, it needs to have a dedicated layer for zaps only.
I dont know how its gonna go, and it may be a stupid idea, but an idea it is indeed.
Find a way of not showing posts with the "zappl"tags, and instead, only show them on the website http://zappl.com.
Another way of getting zappl to really take of is by getting some power weights behind the platform, and getting them to use "only the Zappl platform" for a period of time, to promote it, to make people aware of it.
interface
The last thing i thimk zappl should do is make their interface a bit more beautiful and streamline.
I mean, there is nothing wrong with the interface , but it just too bland for my liking .
This stupid error should also be fixed.
Some time back i thought it was network ,but i am currently in pkrt Harcourt , one of the best city in the country , with straight up 4G internet speed, and I still get the error code, annoying.
