Excellent work guys! The design looks really cool and I love how you try to come at it from a user-centric angle and then make it work with Steem, rather than taking the UIs we've already seen plenty of and just giving it a new brush. Looking forward to trying it out myself!!
Seeing how you've worked on this completely off the grid while also building solid awareness of Steem in your community in Norway makes me wonder how many others are currently doing the same all over the world :).
Good luck boys!
Thanks a lot, Fredrik!
Yeah, we've thought of several angles; data and privacy, monetization, influencers, etc. But at the bottom line, the end user should always be the focus :)
That's a good point though! We're not quite sure why we kept it off the grid, it's partly because we started questioning ourselves last year when we saw Steepshot and then Appics and wondered: "Is there even room for our idea?", but considering that we have different visions and goals we figured we'd give it a shot!
Best case: You and all of the world love it and we help bring Steem to the moon!
Worst case: We had fun, learned a lot in the process and educated Norway about Steem :)
Finishing this long answer off with another big thank you to you Fredrik, you've been a good friend to us ever since Steemfest. Real proud of what you've done with Steempress, Steem on!
@fredrikaa and @deegramofficial I am in agreement. Recently was asked to build a UI similar to VERO as a test to work with EOS though I wasn't happy with any of the loose process they had on from interviewing to professionalism to challenging work. Agreed with @fredrikaa though, how can you guys build something that is easy enough to use while monitizing something effectively. Id be happy to consult with you guys if you need another pair of eyes and ux skills to review prototypes, concepts and assistance. Overall nice work you guys. looking forward to updates.
Thanks for the support @theuxyeti, and sorry to hear about your experience with the other project.
And yeah, the simplified UX is a really important part of the development, so we'd love to stay in touch with you. We'd be delighted to get some help and feedback from you! Could you shoot an e-mail to [email protected] and we'll talk :)!
Your skills are highly appreciated!
