RE: SteemMag – Steemit’s Weekend Digest #20: 8th Month of Steemit and The Future – Chats With Busy.Org CEO..... Steemian Speak...…and lots more
So, I don't get it. Is Busy just an interface for Steemit? When I sign in on there, it gives me Steemit with the Busy overlay. Or is the alpha state just a showcase for what's to come? Will the final product be a complete stand-alone platform? Because what's the point with Busy if it's just gonna have Steemit's content and blockchain? I seriously don't get it.
Yeah...will it be a competitor of steemit, or something entirely different?
That's not what I meant. If you sign into Busy, you see Steemit. For instance, you could see this post and these comments, so at the moment, Busy is just an interface running Steemit. This is what brings me to the question what the point of it is if that's gonna be all it's for.
It's not an interface running Steemit.
It's an interface running the Steem Blockchain with some other features and also its own roadmap, and vision/strategy for marketing/user experience. Steemit is one interface of the Steem blockchain. There will be few others.
I think you're misunderstanding what Steem is. it allows you to build different apps or interface sharing (or not) the same content from the blockchain but also have other specific features. As you can see on the Busy roadmap, we plan to have marketplace for good and services, and implement also several others apps
I don't get it. What's the point? Why go to Busy.org to look at Steemit when you can just go to Steemit.com? Also, it doesn't seem to be clear that Busy.org is just an interface. It wasn't clear to me that it was just Steemit. Is it supposed to work as sort of a marketing campaign, removing the name "Steemit" making it look and seem like a different platform to try to get more users in? I seriously don't understand what the point of this is, and this is not me trying to pick on someone. I honestly don't get it.
Your problem is that you see Steemit as an end point. and It's not. The goal we both focus with Steemit is the Steem Blockchain growth and scale.
If you're happy with Steemit.com then i'm glad for you. Many people expect new interface, new features, new marketing approach, different look, different design, different user experience, other strategies to get more users in, and this is what Busy.org does.
Are you able to sell good and services on Steemit ?
Do you have other Layout like Grid/List/Feed ?
Can you save your favorite posts or users or tags in bookmark ?
Are you satisfied with the global user interace and experience ?
If you don't see the point of this i cannot help you, or won't convince you. But you will explain me why Steem with Steemit has only about 5000 daily active users and not 5 millions ?
Anyway you'll get it soon or later when we will release our beta/mvp :)
