RE: Utopian: My Contribution to the Open Source World.

Very nice idea @elear. Steem definitely has potential to be a Patreon of sorts for different causes. Delegation seems like a powerful too. Would be awesome if we could get people buying Steem so they could delegate it to people they want to support.

Can you comment on why decided to fork busy instead of the condenser?

Sort:  

Sure. I have been trying to contribute to Steemit Condenser and I have gone through the code and usability of the platform. Busy.org it is much easier to use, cleaner and better programmed. I think Condenser has a lot to learn from the Busy.org frontend and the choice for me was a no brainer, especially because I will need to heavily customise it. The Busy.org codebase was way easier to read for me and it is already integrated with their Steemconnect V2, that's a big plus. Do you believe Steemit Condenser would have been a better choice? What's your opinion about the coding style and usability of the two frontends?

I haven't had a chance to dig into the Busy code base yet, but what your saying make sense. I was surprised at how poorly documented the Steem code bases are, considering Steemit is a community building project. To Steem Inc's credit the do fund Busy so they obviously understand the need for alternative code bases.

Thanks for the tip re: SteemConnectv2. I'm playing with it now and looking through the SDK there is no post method. Ill check out how Busy do it.
