Past/Recent Interest (By Steemians) In SteemGigs

Here is an old comment by @andrarchy (made some 2 years ago), where he reacted to the potential beauty of SteemGigs

Did  you notice that a successful steemGIG happened some 2 years ago? 
@kus-knee had created a custom request at the time, to which @fisteganos offered his service. @fisteganos got  paid in SBD and then went on to earn an additional 394 $ from his eventual SteemGig Testimonial post.

If you would like to read some more about how grand steemgigs.org can be, @stellabelle wrote this article about SteemGigs some two years ago: 

More recently, @acidyo brought a similar topic up in his post here: Why VoiceOverPete should join Steem! Looking at the comment section of the post, you will notice that steemians still remembered SteemGigs. 

See these screenshots: 

And here is some passionate video(s) evidence.

Latest 'Development' Update

This post covers recent development endeavor that has occurred on steemgigs.org, in relation to our plans for the month of January 2019

Our recent task request spans across 14 micro-programming issues and @tobias-g has tended to some of these issues. 

Below, i will expand on some of the tasks that @tobias-g has completed so far as well as additional development tasks that he worked, on his own loving volition.

Recall that, that steemgigs.org has a knowledge-bank; meaning that it is very content-based (steemgigs.org has a surpassinggoogle paradigm). To this effect, we have '18 specialized posting editors' across steemgigs.org 

Our aim is to use these editors to incite users to 'serve the search engines'. Each of these editors thus, have to be simplistic, interactive and intuitive.

In the last few days, @tobias-g took it upon himself, to re-create each of these editors. Starting with the 'create-a-gig' editor, the screenshot below depicts how it currently looks:


In the past, the 'create-a-gig' editor was made up of multi-pages. Users had to pass through several pages to complete each segment of the editor (i.e Title > Description > Pricing > Requirements > Delivery > Portfolio). This must have created a measure of hassle for users. 

Now users can have a general overview of what input the 'create a gig' editor, will require of them, all on one page, making them better inclined to complete their gig-posts. Where they have made an error, they can now correct errors on the same page. 

To keep the editor less bogus, @tobias-g added a collapse component to each segment of the editor. Users can collapse/expand these areas at will.

Looking closely, you will also notice the stamp of @tobias-g, on the general styling of side-text-box that characterizes all our editors. 

This was how it looked before:


He also added a video embed area, which will eventual host tutorials. (Note: steemgigs.org is very community-based. To this effect, all video tutorials will be created by 'certified uloggers', to showcase our community and to give these 'certified uloggers' extra limelight on our interfaces.)

@tobias-g has revamped all existing editors across SteemGigs, with further enhancement to come over the course of time

Next, he improved the metadata for steemgigs.org to improve how the website gets indexed in the search engines and to make steemgigs.org more presentable in search results.

This how we now look in google search results:


@tobias-g, then went on to adding social-share-buttons at the bottom of posts (across steemgigs.org). This will allow you to share your gigs etc on the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc

This is how it looks:


He also worked on post-payout-display, post-7days. Prior to now, posts displayed a payout of 0.00$, post-7 days as seen below:


It currently displays actual post-payout independent of post-age as seen below:


@tobias-g also fixed a bug on our homepage (prior to login), that prevent users from navigating the page.

In summary, this was covered in the last two days:


In the coming days, we will start working on the more complex/core tasks. We will like to enhance our search portal, by improving on categorization and add a 'sorting' mechanism. 

Then we will work on enhancing our landing page, adding an optional escrow functionality and private message. 

We plan to work the hardest within the month of January. 

We will begin to invite users to test steemgigs.org once again, once we have completed the search and categorization functionality. Then, we will seek to re-open steemgigs.org to public use just thereafter.

We invite interested developers to join in, in helping us build steemgigs.org

Steemgigs.org will make use of the teardrops SMT. Altogether, the teardrops SMT will be used across 3 steem-based interfaces i.e steemgigs.org, ulogs.org and Macrohard

While i am not usually very frontal with asking support, you may decide to support my efforts at this point as i really need support

To do so, @steemgigs is now open to delegation and where you see fit, "donations".

Within the next few months, 'delegation' will be focused towards supporting contributors, especially to the development of steemgigs. This will help us speed development, to where steemgigs.org primary functions are ready within a month or two.

Regardless, i will keep using my resources, financial and otherwise, however limited, to bring steemgigs.org to full-blown life. This is a slower route but my healing lies in, "gifting the world with some awesomeness via my projects".

This is an amazing update! This post is chock-full of useful information about the Steemgigs project. It took me back to the genesis of Steemgigs, and I understood the project has a lot of great potentials. I haven't reviewed any contribution from you in the past. However, I'm glad to review this one because it's quite comprehensive.

I like the steemgig slogan "everyone has something to offer". I believe no talent is a waste it all about reaching the right people. @tobias-g deserve an accolade for his recent work on the project. It's cool to see folk here on Utopian doing awesome stuff.

Thanks for all the information you provided in this post, and I wish surpassinggoogle and Steemgigs best of 2019.

Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

Very special bro.

I am grateful

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

I think one of the biggest problems to solve after looking into fiverr is they are able to remove negative reviews anytime they want just by refunding, so people leaving a review saying 'this is a scam here are reasons why' are essentially silent while weirdo bot dudes are all 5 stars. So the whole thing becomes a shady minefield.

A blockchain version of a gigs platform wouldn't have that problem I think, so +1 in my book already, and if it's on steem that's even better.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Overall this looks epic, well made, and very cool.

Thank you for all the encouragement.

It is true, there many things that blockchain can solve. especially the steem blockchain which is community-based

Steemgig isn't a baby project on the steem block chain. Coming back to stay is awesome. I really love what @tobias-g has done so far, and I'm very optimistic about the revival of the platform. More power your elbow.

Cheers for the mention, over the past couple of weeks the site has started to come together nicely, there are still a few holes in the experience that make it hard to use, but nothing I won't resolve :) Hopefully in the coming month we'll really start to see a stable and easy to user experience available :)

Stay awesome bro.

Thank you alot. Yes, it isn't but alot happened that slowed it. Now there is serious push at least from a physical standpoint. This month it should start off and yes, stay.

Thank you for always having the good of the community on your mind and in your actions! I will delegate some as soon as I get to my computer. You are awesome!

Thank you alot for always having been there. I have been silent for this period, just to work hard especially these month for both steemgigs.org and ulogs.org to get to a stable state at least. Thank you for all the love. Stay awesome

Thank you. It is not much, but if many do a little - it will add up. Looking forward to see where the project will go. It will be huge for the Steem!!

If theres an android app, why no iOS?

There will be. We focus on website for January. Once there is design and web is set. Ios and android will happen more easily. There isn't android yet. Even that is waiting for website to be fully functional

Oh yea, thats a good idea. I couldn't read posts on the site just 2 days ago. Hopefully it's fixed by now. Crosses fingers.

Thank-you for the update, this is my first time learning about steemgigs and i will dedicate sone time to learn more on the project & how i can make use of the platform.

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough SP for delegation to the project & I’m not a developer, I can only resteem this article and maybe write a few blog entries about steemgigs as a gesture of help.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Very sufficient. Resteem is. When it is announced for use, use it as well. Thank you alot for the love

@surpassinggoogle, It's reflecting as the development process is moving ahead effectively.
