Deegram dev update 005 - Comments and other new additions

in #steem5 years ago

Hello Steemians!

It's been a while since we updated you on development, and we're glad to announce the next build of Deegram that's being released shortly.

There have been some distractions lately with the escalating conflict with Instagram and Facebook while managing some press coverage about this in newspapers and on a live radio show.

The good news is that this gave us a list of new people wanting to try out Deegram and Steem, and we're glad to be onboarding new community members. We're still working on building up our Steem Power to the level required for free account generation, but in the meantime, we're paying the account creation costs ourselves.

New build features

We're glad to bring you some new features in the app that you can try out very soon.
The main additions for this build are:

  • Add comments

  • Reply to comments

  • Vote on comments
  • Edit profile
    • Display name, about, location, website
  • Improved wallet view
  • Various GUI updates
  • Various bug fixes and error handling

What's to come

As always, we have a backlog to work through and a priority list of what we want to bring you first.
In the coming time, we'll be focusing on:

  • Steem and SBD transfers
  • Edit and update profile image
  • Edit and update cover image
  • Image cropping and customization
  • Profile rework
  • Various GUI updates

In addition to these features, we're developing a web client for Deegram that we're excited to share more about at a later stage.
