RE: The Big Dozen - my 12 indicator projects for the State of Steem in 2019 (part 1)
I have a feeling that https://engrave.website can deliver something good for those wishing to reach out with their websites.
Also Wise, the delegated upvote protocol, could prove handy for curation solutions.
Both from @wise-team
I haven't spent any significant time looking at Engrave yet.
It is a pity their opening gambit is ... "Create blog and start earning money in three simple steps"
Pitching on the money earning side of steem can inevitably lead to disappointment.
I'll pass it back to them
Thank you for your feedback.
We had an internal discussion about it and we came to the conclusion that it's necessary to stop exposing dollars on Steem based applications. Especially those targeted to hobbyists and bloggers. It's hard to become successful (which is, of course, obvious for everyone who tried to become recognizable on any other social media platform) on Steem and earn a satisfactory amount of dollars with current token price. But native Steem mechanisms can be easily utilized to give people possibilities to do things that are not possible anywhere else. Transfers without fees, beneficiaries, userbase and SMTs (in the future) could be used to activate readers in many ways. And bloggers should get additional features that are not available right now on generic Steem frontends. Dollars should be the last reason why bloggers decide to start using Steem.
And we're working on a brand new dashboard that we believe will change those things. Our slogan and pitch will change significantly and we will try to reach bloggers outside of Steem network.
Definitely agree with that. I think their true asset is that they are a free blogging site for Steemians. As long as you have a domain name you can completely personalize your own site and pay no monthly fees. Its especially useful for hobby bloggers and businesses needing blogs for any reason.
However, they do have ambitious goals for empowering content production teams. This could lead to the platform being very profitable for the content creators such as ezines and stuff like that.
I see them as having the potential to be the Steem version of Medium. I honestly think they might be the very best project in existence with Steem, and very much an under appreciated project.
