It’s Time For A Vertical Video Platform on Steem
I think it’s safe to say, a majority of internet content these days is consumed on some type of mobile device. And a majority of these devices are natively vertical. Snapchat capitalized on this, and Instagram and Facebook quickly got on board and dominated the market.
Given the amount of time I spend using IG Stories, I think it would be nice to have a vertical content platform here on Steem. @dtube is great for films, vlogs, etc.. but sometimes I want to convey a message to my followers in a quick, orderly fashion. Something visually appealing, yet not a huge process. I’ve seen the DTube snaps going around lately, great idea! But even a minute is too long. And quite frankly, horizontal video platforms just don’t work as well on mobile devices as they do on TV’s.
Perhaps @steepshot could add this functionality? Of course, it could clog up Steemit with 15 second clips but functionality could always be added to put them elsewhere instead of the feed.
So, what do ya say steemians? Is it time for a heroic dev to step up and give us a solution? Let me know your thoughts below 👇🏼

Yeah im def with that!! I dont even really post photos anymore. I just throw it up on IG stories.
I use both, but would really like to see both on Steem!
Would definitely be a nice add-on :)
Thanks for taking the time to share your support! Hope all is well buddy!
I think @appics is planning on adding this to their platform. I could be wrong though.
It's certainly possible, I'm not sure. Even still would like to see it closer to Steem!
😭😭😭😭
Ahh your view is a popular one. I respect it. However, I truly believe vertical video will be a major part of the future for various reasons! It's important to get with the trends rather than try to avoid them!
You're probably right. It's a painful one for me to let go of but I know it's inevitable :)
Actually, Appics might step into tht niche. I am not sure how their video format will look like. They are mirroring Instagram as well, just like Steepshot, but with SMT and and a gorgeous design.
