RE: Announcing Steem Marketplace: Step 0 - Learning to crawl...
Hi, @beggars. This looks like a fascinating project idea which could potentially get attention from several people. If there is one thing I love about open source development, it is the fact that like-minded individuals could collaborate and help realize either simple or complex ideas.
We are glad to see new projects on the Steem blockchain. Did you know that you can bring your project idea closer to like-minded individuals who might be interested in getting involved with your project and help realize it? The IdeaHub show is the place for you to pitch your valuable ideas to the community which is live on most of our social accounts such as Facebook, Youtube, Vimm, and of course our discord server where we stream live from. We are also available on podcast which will allow anyone to listen to the show at their convenience every Monday from 8-9PM UTC. You could join us, and give more insight about your project idea. Click here to see our previous sessions. I am looking forward to having you on the show.

@knowledges Cheers for the response and very thorough review. It might not have been quite obvious from the post content given this is a new project, but work has started on this already.
It's actually an idea that started out for Bitcoin and Litecoin before realising that Steem would be a better fit with its lack of fees and quick block times.
Specifics definitely need to be nutted out on a granular level, but the gift card marketplace has been started and on GitHub. A lot of the other components need to be built up, but things are very much happening.
I've posted a couple of updates since this announcement post on progress, including a project and development update on progress and technical specifics. Understandably, this is more of a high level post than a technical one though, I can see why it appears as very much an idea that hasn't been realised or started to be realised yet.
I am always grateful for feedback and I was wondering if you had some tips and advice for making things more enjoyable to read? I noticed it was one of the review criteria, but admittedly, wasn't sure what constitutes enjoyable (especially if you're talking about boring technical stuff).
The ideas hub sounds interesting and I would very much love to drop by and talk about it :) thanks for letting me know, I didn't actually know such an initiative existed.
Thanks again and I love your work.
Cheers to you as well. :)
I notice that you've made several updates regarding this project and I can see that you mean business. Well done! I only saw those updates after going through your reply.
Now that you mentioned it. The questionnaire of the blog section was recently updated, and your question made me realize that there is a bug presently in it. Below is a screenshot of how I have answered the questions:
On the above screenshot, you will notice that the question about how interesting a post is to read is not even present. As I said, this is a bug, and we will fix it as soon as possible.
However, I still have one suggestion for you: It is better to use the quotation markdown to wrap your texts rather than showing them as a screenshot which is not a good idea.
Sure, I am looking forward to having you on the show. I could line you up on our next show which is going to be live tomorrow (3/18/2019) From 8-9PM UTC. :)
It would seem that you had the review tab open during the changeover to the new questionnaire, @knowledges. Which explains the low score. I've re-scored it using the new questionnaire.

Thank you for your review, @knowledges! Keep up the good work!
