Excellent! =)
Even popular software such as Gimp is offering .appimage packages along with all of their other standard ones these day. Even Linus Torvolds thinks its a good idea, and he's hard to please.
There's quite a few bits of software that I run this way now, especially if I want to give new development versions a spin, since they may not have landed in the repositories yet. I'm an openSuse user.
I'm looking forward to getting involved when you have something up and running.
BTW, will you establish your own coin for this, or will you use Steem/SBD ?
Which accounts will be carried over? All or start from scratch? That also has implications for existing posts and comments.
Thank you, I'll bring it to the attention of my Steemit artist friends.
Will the be at some point an attempt to get the VESTS or whatever the coin listed on the exchanges? How and if that all happens is something I do not yet understand yet about the crypto space.
Hey @elfspice, are you aware of the fantastic work @paulag is putting into analysing the current profiles, voting habits and generally a wealth of information about Steemit. She is a statistical analysist and I believe her skills might be of use to you with your initial set up and ongoing development of the new Calibrae platform. She, like you is very interested in seeing things set straight.

Thanks, I've been catching up and reading the comment threads on the post and gaining a fuller picture of what has to be done, your motivations, intentions and plans.
I also don't have much of a stake here on Steemit. But, in the last couple of months, the payouts have been enough to pull me out of trouble and pay my bills. If I can be a stable platform, I could really have more of a solid footing pushing my artwork further in the "real world."
I hear you on the cold Winters. It was a topic in my most recent post. -20C while living a poorly "insulated" former East Berlin factory.
So wishing you full power, and good finances for ensuring a comfortable and cosy Winter, while you develop the Calibrae project further. =)
