RE: The Steem Entrepreneurs Program - Whatsapp notification project proposal
I remember there being an app called eSteem that I used to use before. While WhatsApp notifications are great, push notifications on a dedicated Steem mobile app would help users to reply just as quickly. We can leverage technologies like firebase to achieve this. Now that eSteem has moved to the Hive blockchain, we can have a well designed app for the Steem blockchain.
Yes, I completely agree.
A mobile app would be great to have but it requires a lot of development effort and a team would be required to work on it.
I am not sure if this is something already in the Steemit development pipeline or there could be a reason of not developing it.
We can actually start off with a free-to-use model. Like we can implement this first on Discord and see how much effect this has on the engagement. Cause I don't think going right into a paid Whatsapp notification model would be accepted by the majority of the community. Anyways, a poll on @steemitblog's account should give us an estimate on the demand for this feature.
PS: I'm all in to contribute to this project once its open source!
