Peep
Letting you see the prettier side of Steem
Peep is yet another attempt to change the social media model on Steem. I wanted to know what it would be like to view only the images on the Steem blockchain, so I built the app. My app focuses on maintaining minimalism and a good user experience. It is also responsive and should be able to render on just about any device.
Controls
The main mechanic is sliding vertically and tapping on pictures you wish to see in higher resolution. If you swipe left to right on an image the is already popped up, it will flip to the next image. By selecting the category in the menu, you can filter where the images come from. The default category is photography.
Beta release
This app isn't complete. In the future, voting and image uploading will be implemented. This is intended to be viewed as a sneak preview or beta release to get some of the bugs out before it's public. Right now I only have a license for android development. If this post does well I will be able to buy the license I need for ios and possibly launch it on the ios store. If you would like to run the app, please message me on steemspeak.com or steemit.chat.

Closing
Thank you guys for your continued support. I intend to keep adding value to Steem, so if you really like my work please consider voting for @picokernel as a witness on https://steemit.com/~witnesses or using the chrome wallet I released last month ;)
Good job, Nate! It is cordova project, right?! When is the release? Any timeline on release date and feature list?
If you need app stores access, let me know. We can add it on iOS and Android which eSteem resides on. Keep up the good work... Cheers ;)
I like this a lot. It is perfect for photography and art posts. Minor filtering should allow to exclude posts that aren't suitable for it.
Very cool idea, though there'd be the problem of having to flick through lots of crappy post fillers, images that have no real substance but are just there to make a post look good; generic images.
Awesome idea. Very smart. Definitely a project worth following!
The pictures are not on the blockchain.
They are on various hosting servers.
All that is on the blockchain is the reference to them.
SteemIMG.com is one of the more popular hosting sites. It keeps 3 versions of each pictures. An icon, a medium size, and a full size.
If you can ask for the correct size, and save them server bandwidth, that would be great.
I'll inform/add my good friends photographer on it !
They'll love it definitely
