RE: My OS Steem Projects & Future Plans
I’ve always been intrigued by all of your projects. In particular I’ve dabbled a lot with Finally. I’ll admit I’ve used SteemPress quite a bit more now that they’ve also added 2 way synchronization supporting comments, but Finally still has some features not yet matched like guest commenting & moderation.
With so many teams & projects moving forward & overlapping, if you’re not going to go full on head-to-head with one; I’d love to see development of more simple standalone widgets that could work with any website be it WordPress, Squarespace, desktop HTML builders, etc.
Items as simple as your embeddable vote button are amazing for the armchair web designer like me. I’d make use of more widgets that spread Steem across the web. Stylable widgets akin to the embedded Twitter & FaceBook feed & follow boxes that are ubiquitous.
On some of my sites I’m simply taking screenshots of a Steepshot post and placing it in a sidebar as an image link to Steepshot, a poor man’s widget if you will! It’d be great to have a dynamically updating real thing!
Ultimately though, just tackle whatever keeps you curious and creatively satisfied!
Thanks for the continued support. I appreciate you've been able to use some of these projects over the past year.
It's ideas like the embeddable upvote button that I think could do with more exposure or explanation. I think it's cool but I imagine nobody knows it exists 🤷♂️.
I can totally make an embeddable widget. When it comes to having the universal login setup (aka the upvote button already has you logged in if you use finallycomments etc) so users can vote/follow without needing to relogin - that needs to be an iframe and therefore cant be styled by the third party. I could make widgets that can be styled (add html/css/js to the page) but they would need to use steemconnect signing and open a popup or newtab to interact with the blockchain.
If you link me the steepshot example you're currently using I can make you a widget.
