Is partiko dead?

in #palnet5 years ago

  • no posts since 3 months
  • mentions functionality broken
  • displaying posts in a loop sometimes

I have now partiko and esteem both installed on my phone.
eSteem looks promising, but I don’t have the pleasant native app feeling on eSteem.
Also graphically not very attractive.

I did like partiko very much, but it looks like no work is being done on partiko.

Does anyone have an idea about what happened to @partiko?

If it stays like this I will remove my witness vote from partiko.

According to the witness page they are inactive as witness since 3 weeks.
That’s it for me.
Removed my witness vote & removed the app.

That's sad news. Hopefully someone from Partiko comes in here and says something to let us all know what is going on. Or at least make a post on their own channel.

I miss the notifications on Partiko. I guess I'll have to finally add ginabot to my discord.

That’s the thing. They don’t post. They don’t respond to people on discord. Meaning they don’t really care I guess...

I think @partiko is BACK! I just looked through over 100 notifications the app just sent me on my phone. :)

I switched to eSteem sometime ago during to the same reason as you.
eSteem is not as slick as Partiko, but it can do much more.
Thought about making a post about a few weeks back, buuut didn't xD

eSteem doesn’t feel like a native app. It works ok, but it misses a bit user-friendliness.

Thats 100% correct.
I have gotten used to the eSteem app now tho and I uninstalled partiko som time ago.
But I like the feature that you can transfer steem from the app :D


Not much activity there.
Hope he can fix it.@crypto.talk is the developer.

At least some kind of communication would be good. Even if the fixes take a while. That’s the least they could do, but nothing...

There have been a few complaints and I'm having the same issues as you mention. Shame really, i like partiko

For an app with such a great user base, it is very unresponsible not to post updates don’t you think?

It is a real shame as it's a good app. I prefer it to eSteem, but it needs to be maintained. I was getting no notifications for a few days, but they are back again now. I am still using it as it still provides the best mobile experience for now.

Agreed, which is bananas considering they're running old steem. But, still it's light years better than esteem..

I use steempeak when partiko is bugging out. If only they'd make a mobile version so we could all move on..

Same here, I prefer steempeak also above esteem. Partiko was much better though...

It really is a good app if it works. But not giving any updates is not good for the reputation of partiko. They also don’t give any response on discord.

Yeah Partiko is not working as it should, and eSteem does not work well on my phone either, in particular there are a lot of images that does not show and the text is just way too small and not adjustable in any way, so I prefer Steempeak and Steemreply instead.

I notice these problems. Looks like they did keep up with the newest Steemit hard fork.

No updates or anything unfortunately...

I wish they would at least be respectful enough to give an update on what’s happening. It’s very disappointing!

Posted using Partiko iOS

That’s what I mean. Just let people know you have issues or if you plan quitting. For almost 3 months no updates or what so ever.

I've used Esteem almost as long as I've been on Steemit. Honestly, when I first started out the upvote they gave was basically the largest upvote I received.

Never really got into partiko and almost prefer to use steempeak on my phone now rather than either one of the apps, but I agree it's a real shame that they've stopped posting.

I try to get used to eSteem, but it is going to take some time I guess.

What I also like about Steempeak is that you can see the rewards of tribe tokens too, not only steem but also pal for example.

Yeah I really think they're currently leading the way on interfaces right now. Sad to see busy fall so far behind as well.

I hope not, at least points can still be redeemed.

Yeah I’ve quit caring about the partiko points. In the end they are not worth a lot after all.

Posted using Partiko iOS

True, and if you accumulate alot they drop the payout. But if you cash them in all the time they keep the price up. But still the payout is barely above dust level.

Same situation as you! I have both of those and have started using steemit.com to see mentions and replies. It'll be nice if they post updates

Posted using Partiko Android

Agreed. It’s really a shame they don’t post anything related to the project.

I get the same loop when scrolling back. It's super frustrating.

The app is now mostly just good for a quick overview of your feed..

That's the automated reply, unfortunately. I really need to check and see if they have a discord or something like it. If @partiko is a dead project, the least they could do is tell everyone, you know?

Such great user base, and not letting hear about themselves for three months! I don’t know what to say... was my favorite steem interface...

Posted using Partiko iOS

Same here. I really liked the app before. Now it’s more frustrating than useful.

Feel sad Partiko is slowly dying right now. I thought it's first post in steemit using the is partiko. But last week I try to exchange point to upvote but didn't get upvote from them and points still there but already in notifications deduct points. Hmmmm
