For me, steemit.com is the only official website of steem. Though there is no official website for steem.

Great comment to throw one of your daily comment 100% self-votes on.
Only 9 more and you are done for the day!

hahahahaha get him :P gotta love people that do that

LOL!! At least no one else agreed with him.

This is hilarious

Ok, I see what you mean, but I don’t yet understand how it works what he’s trying to do here ;-)
Still got a lot to learn about Steem!

He upvotes his comments for 100% like 8-10 times a day basically using all his stake on stupid pointless comments offering zero value.

No Fake! I just came here from another post, saw that mess up top and scrolled down. Too old to upvote but here's a 2 day old comment.
I was scrolling the slider, and it took 3x longer to change. These Steemit glitches are annoying, always different and takes forever to fix! Gonna check out STEEMPEAK.

Right :-) Not really contributies to the social part of the social Network that Steem is off course... I get it now, thanks!!! ;-)

I do not think it's about being an "official site" at all. It is a better alternative in many aspects. Maybe Steemit should focus a little more on improving their UI to compete with these alternatives.

I've been using Steempeak for over a month now and im quite involved in the discord community as well. Brainstorming sessions have been going well and the guys in there are very active on the development front. For me, it has the potential to really clean up what you want to see on the blockchain. It's always going to be up to a user interface to be able to filter out the shitposts and allow the users to view exactly what they want to. In my opinion, with the right focus, it has the potential not only to surpass condenser as the de-facto user interface for viewing the blockchain, but also has the potential to do more for the blockchain than any other application can.

This site is wonderful, and I have @mattclarke to thank for introducing me to it.

I was using Steemit.com until today, and now there's no turning back from Steempeak.com. Whoever did the work to create this site would get a huge man hug with plenty of hearty pats on the back from me if I saw them in person!

Your post about the features and improvements of Steempeak is excellent too. Thank you!!!

That @mattclarke is a good guy!!

Aw schucks guys :)

You're only pointing out the truth and should be commended for it. I've changed my introduction information for new users to include Steempeak too.

Sounds interesting. I will try it. Resteemed.

I still use steemit but with a combo of steemworld.org..

Steempeak looks worth trying....

can you link to the page where wallet bugs are listed...I have never really come across any issues with Wallet page so interested to learn what can be the potential issue with it.

Now that I read the descriptions , I think I have seen every one of these except 2967 & 2968

They have been around since over a year, in my opinion, the wallet is the most important page for most users and also requires the most trust. These issues do not create trust.

agreed...being a financial project and all..

I've been using SP for over a month now. A few features you didn't mention:

  1. you can type the name of a user directly in the search bar

  2. you can save 'users' (different from following)
  3. you can save 'topics' (different from bookmarking)
  4. bookmarks can be tagged
  5. There is a new version about to be released, so this feature list is only going to expand and require even more updating lol

I've been on Steemit for 14 days and already experienced half of the challenges you mentioned in this post. It seems like Steampeak would be great. However, I have no idea how to use another front end. Can anyone recommend a post that talks about how to use multiple front ends? I'd like to try it out.

All you have to do is log in to the other one and stop using the other one or not stop. You are free to use any front end that you choose.

Okay for us simpleton's you are going to have to example it out....I've tried twice, one I got a 404 message and another that this site isn't available.

You can log in to Steemit.com and be logged into SteemPeak.com at the same time.

How do you get to Steem Peak from Steemit?

You don't. You use SteemPeak.com

Be sure you go to "steempeak.com" not "steampeak.com", the second one is a domain that's for sale.

I figured out what I needed to log in. You use your same username (sunlit7), but use your "Active private key" or "owner private key" as your password.

If you are logged in to "steemit.com" with the owner key, you can see your other keys on your "wallet" page under the "permissions" tab, you have to click on the button to show private key. When you first signed up the owner key is what you were given but you might have thought of it as the password for steemit. You can use it as a password, but it's the owner key.

This year old post from @drakos helped me start to get it, maybe it will help you. https://steemit.com/steemit/@drakos/steem-private-and-public-keys-demystified

this is absolutely brilliant. thanks for sharing man. had no idea this even existed but now i can’t stop looking at the dashboard and all the extra features.

personally i use steemit because it’s clean and easy to navigate. but steempeak is pretty sweet. i can see this becoming more of my front end for desktop interactions

Dashboard hasn't been updated since day 1 ... just think it can and will be EVEN BETTER!! haha

Hey, I just noticed the tokens expire for added accounts. Is there a way to not have to re-enter keys once a week?

Hello igster :). There is a white screen again in steemgar. Can you fix it?

Thank you very much, igster :))

You sold it to me. The UI, the stats, awesome. And no charge, that is a major plus, one of the reasons many people use steemit.com is because there are no charges

I actually put together a brief steempeak video a few weeks back. Here it is if anyone wants to take a tour of the best website known to man.

Hope you're OK with a linkdrop. Thought it might help for those who like videos more than reading: https://steempeak.com/steem/@littlescribe/your-steem-fantasies-have-finally-come-true
