RE: [Introducing Steemy] - Fully Native iOS/Android apps for STEEM
The problem I see with this is that:
- It cannot be verified that the private key is not accessed in the closed-source components of the application
- It cannot be verified that the open source component was actually used in the build published on the app/play store
Would be great to make this fully open source.
Agreed. Especially considering @steemapp is already looking to make $8k on a PROMISE of an app which is fully reliant on open source and freely available blockchain software. And they stand to keep earning a lot by posting updates about the app long into the future if they do a good job. So, @steemapp, what is your reservation in terms of making this actually open source?
Hi @nonlinearone. I wouldn't say we have "reservations" about open source at all. We are gauging the reaction here (it's only been 5 hours) to see how people feel about Steemy. I'm shocked to see all the positive supporting comments! We weren't quite sure what to expect... but we are very much in heads down, crack a second red bull open mode and are open to ideas from the community and others. Definitely a discussion to be had here, just not sure the best way to handle it yet to be honest. Thanks for the feedback! We look forward to updating the community.
so? they can't profit from time and energy spent? People SHOULD be payed when they put work and effort into something. You could have done it. Instead you are here moaning about someone working hard and making a dolla. Every hour spent not earning money by working put into this project the deserve rewarding for. Food and shelter is not free.
