eSteem - image upload fix, notifications and other improvements

in #esteem8 years ago

Some of you (eSteem users) might have noticed there was few seconds of down time for notifications today due to server maintenance updates.

Image upload

For the last few days there is overwhelming usage of eSteem app and feedbacks, suggestions, which I am quite excited about... And image uploads exceeded its limits causing intermittent issues.

It was time we move uploads to custom server so that it can help us to scale. Image upload issue should be fixed and working with better reliability.

Thank you for those who reported this and many other issues on #esteem-feedback posts. Please keep them coming, even if I don't reply to every suggestion, know that I am putting them down and working on them.

Notifications update

While fixing the image upload issue and setting up custom server, I have also improved notifications. Now, every user automatically gets notification for transfers (out, in).

As of today, eSteem users are receiving notifications on their mobile phone for new Comments, Mentions, Follow, Unfollow, Reblog, Transfers in and out.

New release

Work on new release is continuing and instead of making release this weekend, I think it is wise to postpone new release right after HF19. This will give us time to test changes on hardfork as well as implement new ones.

Thank you

I would just like to say a big thank you to all the users who are using eSteem daily and providing feedback #esteem-feedback.

eSteem over the last few days representing average ~3% of all posts happening on the Steem blockchain! That's an incredible growth and milestone! Couldn't have done it without you and your support!

You're doing great work with esteem @good-karma! Thanks for the update and congratulations on the growth!

I agree, having witness status AND 3% of the overall content contributed to STEEM? That's crazy. Keep growing dudes. upvoted and followed @good-karma and @kommienezuspadt. Keep it up!

Thank you @kommienezuspadt! 😉

@good-karma it's given me lots of issues seems it's still giving me them I updated the is is to bro ? What should I do on I phone 7 plus

@good-karma, freakin' awesome!
could we please have our own video upload here too?

Thanks for the update and all the hard work you are putting into this. It's really benefiting the whole community!

As always you are doing a great job and it reflects in the updates. As of now maybe esteem is gradually moving ahead of the computer version in terms of the features. Since I don't think we have a notification of follow/unfollow or reblog since we don't get to know who followed/ unfollowed or reblogged. Anyway looking forward to some more great features before I permanently switch to esteem. Conrats for the growth & Wish you all the best. Cheers!

Nice! Great work! the app is going to be a game changer on its way to make Steemit the biggest community out there.

Do every comment made through the app recieve tips from you?
If that is the case you might want to blacklist the tipping system on comments made on various contests or stuff like @steemvoter 's guild nominations.

eSteem is using iphone or Android tablet as well.
It is a good application necessary for me.

Is this available on iOS?

If not I need to buy myself an android. :-)

It is available for both iOS and Android users. Check out other posts for links or search eSteem mobile on AppStore.

Thanks very much @good-karma! Will get it downloaded :-)

Voted for your witness too.

@futuristgear I think you still should buy yourself a phone that uses Android ;)

HAHA! I have been thinking about it, would be nice to have access to both lots of apps.

never knew there was a steem app will download it right away, thanks !! this app will definitely help me to be an active steemer 24/7 !!! love it !

Replying from the esteem app now! Works flawless. Thought to send my first comment through the app to you! 1000 times thanks for all your great effort!!

Hooray! My problem with downloading pictures is solved.
Now the next question: where can I find notifications about mentions? I get notifications when download the app, but they dissappear so quickly that I don't even have time to read them, I suppose it's less than 1 second.

@good-karma I have noticed this as well, a few notifications here and there disappear quickly, without a trace in the notifications area on Android, if I'm using the app when they show. I'm not entirely certain it is limited to just mentions.

Hmm that's strange, are you sure your device settings aren't limiting notification stack or automatically clearing ? Please let me know details or when you encounter that again in what circumstances...

esteem is really a great app, I'm using it exclusively already for everything I post, read or upvote 😊 I just love it and am happy that you keep improving it that much. The custom server will definitely improve the user experience even more and the notifications are as well a good feature. Thank you very much @good-karma

Will this version also fix Broadcast error with permlink character? Thank for working in it. Good job!

Yes, it will. Permlink character issue is most likely because you put # in tags/category field, consider using just tags without hashtag when submitting a post. In upcoming release, eSteem will strip out unnecessary characters from those fields.

good to see #esteem & #steemdev teams working hard to enhance user experience on steemit platform...hope you keep growing strong and achieve more milestones and make steemit the best social network platform.

Thanks i would like to express everyway i can that esteem help me to start my steemit in a quick and efficient way. I am steemiting everywhere, work, toliet, when i am eating and you name it. It wont be possible with your effort in developing esteem.

Very interesting post! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!UPVOTE AND RESTEEMED!

Excellent, thanks again for all the hard work in developing and improving

Woah thanks for posting this I didnt really know that this exists x.X you helped me much . Upvoted thank you

@good-karma, You are doing a fantastic job for the community !!! Thank you for your support! Have a good day!

Hey @jimjam1210! If you have reported the issue, I will make sure to check it before upcoming release, if you haven't please let me know the details of issue/bugs so we can work out what is causing it for your device... thanks!

Interesting, what exactly is eSteem? I understand it's an app you created but your blog didn't go into details exactly what it is...

Please read What's eSteem part from this post or if you prefer you can go down on a list of blog posts and learn more about it. You can visit eSteem homepage here

Thanks for the info

I looks like a great up, I'll get it for Mobile and give it a go. Thanks for working so hard on it, user-accessibility is something Steem could really improve!

Thanks....@good-karma for mention my name in this photo.... Steem is the worldwide place for curious writings....

Good morning,

I've been using esteem app all the time since I first joined steemit in May and the app is great. I rarely go to the internet only when the app acts up. I use the app on HTC 10 smartphone and I have a few suggestions.

*The app dramatically slows down when scrolling down feeds.

*When in app and I receive notification, the nonfication dissappear and I don't know what the notification was about. It doesn't happen when not in the app.

*The profile background pic is off centered (half on) when profile pic is selected from documents but if selected through url https, it's centered. I select mine through document.

*When there is alot a comments in a comment (replies). The replies get buried and it's very hard to find and/or reply.

*The steemit web site and esteem app seems to be major memory hog, causing major slow down on both platforms.

*With that said, I greatly appreciate the app and your efforts. It's very nice and convenient. Much, Peace, Love and Blessings. (((3j)))

Good day, Appreciate the taking time to write up your suggestions. Some improvements are coming with new release and I took note of other suggestions, will be looking into improving those areas 😉🙏 Thank you!

GREAT WORK! i want to say thanks to you for the best 1 of the est android app for steam. I started using it recently and i was impressed. Please continue to update. We more steemers like you

Awesome sauce mate! I am quite new to the eSteem app but so far no real issues to report. Is it ok if I mention you and the app in a post im working on about notifications? Think it will benefit a lot of users and might get Steemit a few more eSteem users! Great job mate! I love this app!

I am using esteem with iphone6 and ran into isues.it freezes many time especially when u move to different sections say from trending to hot or new.tried again today and was able to type this comment but when tried to submit it said error"first argument should be a number"..

using esteem version 1.4.5 and error was broadcast erro first argument shall be number,array or string

Thank you for reporting, yes few users reported these issues, upcoming release should fix this.. stay tuned! ;)

Great to be a part of this. Finally a friend has gotten Steem fever too. I notice an irregularity on the wallet page. Sometimes the account value will be a very obviously wrong amount off by over a hundred dollars or more. The first time it happened I panicked. After a little while it corrected to the right amount. But this happens quite often. It's not just reflecting volatility in the market. It's just way, way off. Anyone else experience this?

Steem fever... :)
Do you mean estimated value? On eSteem different than on Steemit?

esteem , Yeah. I thought that was a good one.. Steemfever... I wonder if it happening to anyone else. Or maybe just something in my account.

Average value of Steem always changes and I think there is also caching factor on browsers which sometimes can cause jump on values. But on eSteem it shouldn't happen because caching is limited on wallet page.

Since it corrects itself after a little while, 10 mins? I don't panic anymore. If ever it doesn't correct I'll be back with this :>)

.. thanks... yes caching makes sense..

niice apk ..This is where I know steemit..
with this apk is my beginning to join the steemian ..
thank for you..☺👍
Hopefully this apk is more stable and fun..
