RE: 19 UPDATES/FEATURES ... ONE WEEK!!

in #steempeak6 years ago (edited)

I started using SteemPeak.com within the last 24hrs. Prior to that I've only been using SteemIt.com for just over 1 month now. Before that I was using Minds.com, which is another such crypto-powered social network, similar to the Steem ecosystem, but based on the Ethereum blockchain. Today I posted the quote below from your blog post here, onto my Minds.com user profile and pinned it...

🙚 "One of the best aspects of SteemPeak.com is the fast development and interaction with the community of users. Before we implemented any of the big new features we wanted to polish up the ones we had and respond to a lot of user requests including some easy features we had never even thought of." 🙘

To understand why this one quote is such an amazing thing to me, you'd need to understand a little of what has been happening at Minds.com lately, and what brought me over to the Steem ecosystem in the first place. For a long time now, Minds.com has stagnated, with very little front-end development happening. Most of the effort there lately has been in working towards migrating Minds off the Rinkeby TestNet and onto the main Ethereum blockchain. What this means is that some user issues have not been dealt with for a while now, with many dating back years! A few of the more experienced Minds users (even moreso than myself) have been voicing their concerns about this lately, and the whole situation has ended in an impasse, with a tentative truce drawn up between the user community and the developers, along with a (non-binding) promise that there will be a lot of effort focussed on outstanding user issues once the migration is completed.

This stalemate led to my looking further afield, and finding the Steem ecosystem, which I actually found via someone's post on Minds, ironically. I bore witness to the truth of the cited "fast development and interaction with the community of users" of SteemPeak.com first-hand as, being only a very new user of SteemPeak myself (a merely hours old new user), I raised an issue on the Discord channel, and it is now included as a fix in this update here! That is impressive work!
