RE: Announcing ♨️steemwallet.app - a fast, secure and open source wallet app for the Steem blockchain (android & ios - out now)

I steallion, thx for your reply.

_ about the graphics: It all boils down to having a great user avatar I guess :)

  • About using steemconnect:
    -- So the steemconnect team themselves suggested in their announcement post that: "by using SteemConnect, you won’t have to open-source your project to gain the trust of your users. "

So what I did is opensource the whole app, where you can actually see how your key will be encrypted on your device, not leaving you depended on a third party to handle them. By opting to use SteemConnect it would mean that you would need to give for example the user @steemwallet.app authority over your active-key. This would mean that you are leaving a lot of trust with me over your active-key, namely you would entrust me with keeping my active-key of the @steemwallet.app very safe, as with that active-key i could also sign any active-key related transaction for any account using steemconnect for authorizing & using the sign & send feature inside the steemwallet.app !

so that is why this is not implemented and instead opensourced the app!
