Review of the Bot for Telegram of the Steepshot application. The fastest way to post a photo on Steem's blockchain!
Everyone knows about my love for the applications that run on Steem's blockchain, especially my facinacion with @steepshot, the Instagram-killer :)
As it turns out, the team behind @steepshot has developed a bot that allows you to publish photos directly from the Telegram application. This is a chat application like WhatsApp but outside the hands of Facebook and allows the use of Bots within it. It is my preferred application of communication so imagine my joy to learn that this Bot existed.
When I tried it, I noticed one thing.
It's the fastest way there is, for now, to publish a photo with title in Steem's blockchain!
Well, but we better go step by step. When you activate the Bot you have to click on a button that appears under, the "Login" button. The Bot will ask for your username in Steemit and your Posting Key. The application does not save your Posting Key and if after a while, you do not want to continue using the Bot you should follow some simple steps that they themselves explain when you make the first login.
Already activated the Bot, the only thing we have to do is send an image. In doing so, the Bot will automatically request a title for the publication, also giving the possibility of adding TAGS using the # symbol.
As you can see in the image, I forgot to add the TAGs :P
But hey, there are always things to criticize or, rather, to suggest. Things that would be, according to my point of view, a plus for this Bot. For example, that the Bot will also let you write the 2140 characters that the Steepshot application allows would be one thing. And the other, that the bot will let me choose voting percentages when voting a publication. Or maybe a general percent to vote?
Oops, I forgot that!
You can also see posts made with the @steepshot application directly on the Bot timeline and also, vote them. You just have to use the Menu below everything.
When you click on the Feed button you can see the last 5 posts in your Feed, the same will happen when you click on the Hot, New and Top buttons, the last 5 publications of each of those categories will be shown respectively. The Settings button is to delete the Bot account.
How cool is that! Amazing the possibilties.
I have an idea for you a cool idea! Add a pedometer to the android application and arrange competitions who will go more in a day will receive an upvote from the steepshot. Attendance of your application will grow dramatically along with people's health!)) With you upvote for the idea. Let me know if you do, I will participate in this!)
Holycrap! A Telegram bot for Steepshot is real... I'm very happy with this!
That's a great move since i'm still waiting for the iOS version hehe
Me too!!! ;)
Damn that is pretty quick! I keep saying that I will most likely start using it way more as an application once an IOS app springs up.
They say "soon" (I hope so, I know the app exist it is just the apple store)
thanks a lot for so much support !
Is there a option to schedule posts ?
Sadly still there is not
So does the images post to my steem account? Or is this totally separate
Yes, it get posted in your steem account or whatever account from Steem you will use with the Steepshot application, the thing here is that you can do it (post on the Steem blockchain)sending a message in the Telegram app chat ;)
I added this post on my new weekly digest called What's Up Steemit!
