About dPoll

dPoll is a place on the Steem blockchain where you can answer questions by your fellow Steemians and create polls yourself. You can find it at dPoll.xyz.

If you want to learn more about the project, you can read the introductory post.

There are a lot of developments going on at the moment in order to build out the MVP into a capable dApp on Steem.

The most recent developments were focused on UI in general, editing in particular and some work on the spnors module.

We have implemented a new view which lists polls by vote count on specific date ranges. This view is hidden at the moment, but it's accessible via /polls_by_vote. polls by vote ranks the dPolls of the last 7 days by votes cast. If you want to know how to set specific date ranges: check this.

The immediate tasks on our development roadmap are:

• Achievements and Badges
• Fixing the mobile issues on markdown editor
• Adding/Updating post tags
• Multiple choice selection (Not %100 decided, yet.)
• DPP (dPoll Points) system based on user activity

If you have any feedback, go to our issues page at Github or drop by at our Discord server.

See it online at dpoll.xyz, and the source code at github repository.

What happened on dPoll last week?

@stuffbyspencer was thinking about the old times:

What was your favorite nostalgic Virtual Pet Game?

The majority seems to miss Pokemon. But only @daltono could back it up with anything. Check out his comment!

Well, our esteemed X-Mas dPoller @isnochys fondly recalls playing with sticks.

@zoexantelamv is working on the curation team of @curie and wanted to gather some feedback how to improve the usefulness to the members:

Is the Manual Curation of Curie Valuable for the Platform and its Members?

dPollers enjoy the work of @curie and were happy to offer suggestions.

---

@deathcross misses his grandma on the blockchain. Or is it just his way of finding out when mainstream adoption will happen:

When will my Grandma be able to use Blockchain Services?

Quite a bit of time apparently.

---

@onze wanted to find out how Steemians get their news:

What's your favorite News Source?

For once I got his name right ;)

---

@chitty was still interested in this contentious issue:

Would you mind if Ads were displayed in the Steemit.com Website?

dPollers do mind.

On a lighter note:

Do you play Steem Monsters?

Only 32% of dPollers play.

---

@daan is interested if Steemians are using the current price to Power Up:

How much Steem Power have you purchased in the past month?

dPollers were quite busy buing a little and some loads. @slobberchops and @onealfa were backing up their trucks: "Load it up, boys!!"
