eSteem - image upload fix, notifications and other improvements

in #esteem7 years ago

Some of you (eSteem users) might have noticed there was few seconds of down time for notifications today due to server maintenance updates.

Image upload

For the last few days there is overwhelming usage of eSteem app and feedbacks, suggestions, which I am quite excited about... And image uploads exceeded its limits causing intermittent issues.

It was time we move uploads to custom server so that it can help us to scale. Image upload issue should be fixed and working with better reliability.

Thank you for those who reported this and many other issues on #esteem-feedback posts. Please keep them coming, even if I don't reply to every suggestion, know that I am putting them down and working on them.

Notifications update

While fixing the image upload issue and setting up custom server, I have also improved notifications. Now, every user automatically gets notification for transfers (out, in).

As of today, eSteem users are receiving notifications on their mobile phone for new Comments, Mentions, Follow, Unfollow, Reblog, Transfers in and out.

New release

Work on new release is continuing and instead of making release this weekend, I think it is wise to postpone new release right after HF19. This will give us time to test changes on hardfork as well as implement new ones.

Thank you

I would just like to say a big thank you to all the users who are using eSteem daily and providing feedback #esteem-feedback.

eSteem over the last few days representing average ~3% of all posts happening on the Steem blockchain! That's an incredible growth and milestone! Couldn't have done it without you and your support!

You're doing great work with esteem @good-karma! Thanks for the update and congratulations on the growth!

I agree, having witness status AND 3% of the overall content contributed to STEEM? That's crazy. Keep growing dudes. upvoted and followed @good-karma and @kommienezuspadt. Keep it up!

Thank you @kommienezuspadt! 😉

@good-karma it's given me lots of issues seems it's still giving me them I updated the is is to bro ? What should I do on I phone 7 plus

@good-karma, freakin' awesome!
could we please have our own video upload here too?

Thanks for the update and all the hard work you are putting into this. It's really benefiting the whole community!

As always you are doing a great job and it reflects in the updates. As of now maybe esteem is gradually moving ahead of the computer version in terms of the features. Since I don't think we have a notification of follow/unfollow or reblog since we don't get to know who followed/ unfollowed or reblogged. Anyway looking forward to some more great features before I permanently switch to esteem. Conrats for the growth & Wish you all the best. Cheers!

Nice! Great work! the app is going to be a game changer on its way to make Steemit the biggest community out there.

Do every comment made through the app recieve tips from you?
If that is the case you might want to blacklist the tipping system on comments made on various contests or stuff like @steemvoter 's guild nominations.

Hooray! My problem with downloading pictures is solved.
Now the next question: where can I find notifications about mentions? I get notifications when download the app, but they dissappear so quickly that I don't even have time to read them, I suppose it's less than 1 second.

@good-karma I have noticed this as well, a few notifications here and there disappear quickly, without a trace in the notifications area on Android, if I'm using the app when they show. I'm not entirely certain it is limited to just mentions.

Hmm that's strange, are you sure your device settings aren't limiting notification stack or automatically clearing ? Please let me know details or when you encounter that again in what circumstances...

Oh. Thank you for your effort! You have done very well on your app! I am using your apps everyday and it is very great! Keep it up! This app is become greater and greater. If there are any problem appearing on the app, we will sill report it asap! Let's make it to be the best steemit app!

esteem is really a great app, I'm using it exclusively already for everything I post, read or upvote 😊 I just love it and am happy that you keep improving it that much. The custom server will definitely improve the user experience even more and the notifications are as well a good feature. Thank you very much @good-karma

Thanks i would like to express everyway i can that esteem help me to start my steemit in a quick and efficient way. I am steemiting everywhere, work, toliet, when i am eating and you name it. It wont be possible with your effort in developing esteem.

Good morning,

I've been using esteem app all the time since I first joined steemit in May and the app is great. I rarely go to the internet only when the app acts up. I use the app on HTC 10 smartphone and I have a few suggestions.

*The app dramatically slows down when scrolling down feeds.

*When in app and I receive notification, the nonfication dissappear and I don't know what the notification was about. It doesn't happen when not in the app.

*The profile background pic is off centered (half on) when profile pic is selected from documents but if selected through url https, it's centered. I select mine through document.

*When there is alot a comments in a comment (replies). The replies get buried and it's very hard to find and/or reply.

*The steemit web site and esteem app seems to be major memory hog, causing major slow down on both platforms.

*With that said, I greatly appreciate the app and your efforts. It's very nice and convenient. Much, Peace, Love and Blessings. (((3j)))

Good day, Appreciate the taking time to write up your suggestions. Some improvements are coming with new release and I took note of other suggestions, will be looking into improving those areas 😉🙏 Thank you!

Awesome sauce mate! I am quite new to the eSteem app but so far no real issues to report. Is it ok if I mention you and the app in a post im working on about notifications? Think it will benefit a lot of users and might get Steemit a few more eSteem users! Great job mate! I love this app!

Useful tool, great to see that you are working so hard on it!

Have you considered offering further views to interact with steemit? e.g. one in collaboration with chainbb?

eSteem is using iphone or Android tablet as well.
It is a good application necessary for me.

@good-karma I have a very interesting fact to share with you about eSteem that I can't share in public as I don't know how would it affect others if possible let me know where can I contact and explain you.

Is this available on iOS?

If not I need to buy myself an android. :-)

It is available for both iOS and Android users. Check out other posts for links or search eSteem mobile on AppStore.

Thanks very much @good-karma! Will get it downloaded :-)

Voted for your witness too.

@futuristgear I think you still should buy yourself a phone that uses Android ;)

HAHA! I have been thinking about it, would be nice to have access to both lots of apps.

never knew there was a steem app will download it right away, thanks !! this app will definitely help me to be an active steemer 24/7 !!! love it !

Replying from the esteem app now! Works flawless. Thought to send my first comment through the app to you! 1000 times thanks for all your great effort!!

Previously I thank you @good-karma because your application is very useful. Full support. But lately I have problems while posting, voting, resteem and comments. There is often broadcast gangguang, not even at all. Sometimes I have to get out of the app and log in again, even have to restart the smartphone. Why did that happen? Is it due to weak network or my smartphone is weak. Thank you @good-karma!

Am I the only one who can't see the new implementations? It can be maybe because I am using Android?? If someone knows anything that can help, please tell me
Thanks guys ;)

Thank you for useful information @good-karma. Im goin to make review video bout esteem application (using Signal 4G and Wifi). A couple days ago i got the trouble uploading picts and i solve it with imgur's help. Go ahead dude. Always support u for developing the Apk.

I'm actually posting this from the app! I gotta say, it looks pretty nifty. The night mode is nice too. The color pallette seems a bit weird but that's more of a personal opinion. Great up!

Thanks....@good-karma for mention my name in this photo.... Steem is the worldwide place for curious writings....

Will this version also fix Broadcast error with permlink character? Thank for working in it. Good job!

Yes, it will. Permlink character issue is most likely because you put # in tags/category field, consider using just tags without hashtag when submitting a post. In upcoming release, eSteem will strip out unnecessary characters from those fields.

good to see #esteem & #steemdev teams working hard to enhance user experience on steemit platform...hope you keep growing strong and achieve more milestones and make steemit the best social network platform.

Thanks good karma for the amazing app and the benefits it gives us.. We owe you more than mear feedback.
Ive been in love with the app synce it came out..
Much love from me and much appreciation 💖💗😍❤︎💕💘
