RE: [Dev Blog] New wallet, Gems & VIMM Power, Your Feedback
These sound like good improvements. One of the things DLive did right is making the on-boarding of new users as easy as can be which I think is the right way to go, and Vimm should also focus on that as much as possible. Perhaps something like Dtube where Vimm has its own blockchain but is still connected to Steem so new users don't have to worry about the complexity of Steem if they don't want to while Steem users can continue to take advantage of Steem.
Another nice improvement would be the ability to set a thumbnail of a stream from the Vimm dashboard if the streamer wants to.
Now we just need more people to actually start watching streams on Vimm.
Thank you for your comment @retrocommodore!
I agree with the thumbnail suggestion. We currently use what is shown as the offline image of the user's channel (can be set under user settings) as a thumbnail for steem posts. We'll add a post thumbnail field to the dashboard to give the user more control over how their post looks on other front ends.
When it comes to onboarding, new users can already use all the features of VIMM, except for steem based features (voting, getting rewards, etc.) and can link a steem account to their existing VIMM channel later. I'm also happy to say we have plans to bring an easier way to create steem accounts for everyone, we just need to get the verification process hammered out before we move forward with this one.
