Hello, Steemians!
The platform
With regard to the constant growing interest of users in our platform as well as the growth of Steem price we are updating Steepshot platform architecture.
Let us recall that Steepshot project does not use any third-party solutions for blockchain data scraping and content filtering. This allows us to be more flexible, to control loads, to perform any manipulation with the content and lead the platform to SCALE
This is a small illustration of work that is started by our engineers on the server side.
Slider view
Steepshot Android app in general became more user friendly. We hope you will love this update because now there is such a convenient way to view photos. Now you have the ability to view previous and next photos using swipe to the left and to the right.
Before implementing this functionality, we conducted surveys and tested it on users. Most of them reacted positively letting us know that it is a very convenient way to view photos.
Here's a demo of how it looks like:
Well, better download the app and try it yourself!
When you exit the slideshow mode, you will be redirected to the previous location. Now you can also be calm that you will be returned to the place of the tiled tape where the last viewed photo is located.
Descriptions
We have updated the application screens so that you can easily view the descriptions for the photo.
- Now the first comment in the comments screen (a post description) displays more lines than in the feed screen
Avatars under photos
Now, in order to find out your main fans, there is no need to look at the list of likes.
NSFW & Low rated stubs
- when flagging, now appears a screen with an explanation that looks like a stub also, you can cancel the action on it
- low rated stubs
- nsfw stubs

Evolving web version
Since the last update of the web version, we have carried out many minor updates that have remarkably improved the usage of the site. Still there are some bugs, we are working on fixing them.
Next week we will also introduce a number of changes and will tell you in detail about this stage of the work done. Follow the news!
iOS is coming
We have the long queue of users waiting for iOS. The brand new version seems to be 65-70% ready. Stay tuned.
SteemConnect
A lot of Steem users are happy using apps with SteemConnect-based sign in. However, some of them might not even know that SteemConnect is forcing you to share your private keys to third-parties, including active and master key, which means there's non-zero probability of losing control of you personal Steem funds some day.
Anyway, it turned out that some users are totally OK to trust their keys and funds to a group of security engineers from Busy/Steemit. We are considering adding SteemConnect as and alternative way of signing in in future to cover the needs of those users.
Feel free to express your thoughts about SteemConnect security in comments.

Hello, my friends. Very good job, congratulations.
Is the web app fully functional at this time? I tried to create my first steepshot post. Nothing happened ...
Anyways, keep up the good work!
this app have great friendly user interface and easy to use <3 keep doing effort and you will get more success <3
@sibtainali
I'm trying this right now and I cannot wait for the ios version and being able to livestream on my phone!
Una aplicación que me a servido muchísimo, capturando imágenes y publicandolas desde esta fabulosa aplicación @steesphot.
I haven't tried Steepshot for a while. I used it today and I have to say that I am impressed. You did a great job.
Finally, I see the separation of the content in Steepshot, which feels more natural for the app now. Instead of mixing this with the highly voted Steemit content.
The design on website and app increased dramatically. Looks awesome.
I will try the app in the next days. 😊
Again, good job.
WOW! What a wonderful App it is? Mind Blowing...Though I don't have an Android Phone but I took the phone of my sister and installed this app on her phone. When I installed this app, and open up the icon then I realized why couldn't I found this app before when I was about to create beautiful images with full detail for my FB Page. Why not for #steepshot?
Well, to cut in short, it is wonderful app to me. I would love to use this app every time. 'll give 5 star rating for sure. Thanks again for making this app so great and useful. I've no words to admire your skillful innovative app which helps numbers of people around the world. Its outclassed!!
wow, you might actually make me go and buy a damn android phone just to use this seeing as no IOS yet ;) - can't wait to make the full transition away from instagram to this.
Would be great if we give some money to pictures we like from our friends, like 0.25 USD or maybe $1 USD / Picture, that would be a nice social network
Thank you for this feedback. It's planned.
Will posting on Steepshot also create a duplicate post on our steemit page?
Hi, yes. It's not a duplicate posts. They are posted into the same blockchain and still visible on Steeemit.com site. It's on Steemit side to decide whether to hide them or not.
That's amazing work, great echo system. I can't wait for the iphone app.
Thanks for using my photo in the example! :)
I'm already a huge fan! I have nine Instagram accounts that i'm constantly having to log-in-out of because you can't post natively from a computer. This is cool and pretty seamless for me so far. I'm not even too bothered by there being no iOS even though I have an iPhone. Resteem!
Its amazing app.. Thank you @steepshot, Since I first uploaded a photo here, I started to forget about other apps .. my facebook got me hooked 😊😊😊😊😊
As for SteemConnect security, nobody is really a fan of it, but what are the alternatives?? I am amazed that there are still no 2FA security features enabled on Steem.
I'm using the browser, I have one important request: A Voting Power Slider. Thank you for your consideration.
Can't wait for that iOS! Thanks for the update!
wonderfull and great work on it and now these more and good features it is more good and easy and attractive to use this now i will try to install it again from google playstore bcz i tried but not found on goodle play store @steepshot,, how to find it on android playstore?
and also appriciate work on it and give us @steepshot
What an ingenious idea to make the photo apps, i.e. Instagram, 'fruitful'. I'm a big fan of all quality apps that add real, tangible 'value' to the internet user.
The flag-removal "stub" is something needed on the Steemit platform.
Best regards,
Peace.
Thank you.
Appreciate noting the quality of the app. We constantly improve it.
✌!
Marvellous application. Its user friendly , easy to use and god there are awesome features in it. Time to replace instagram .
#STEEM login is a nice idea
Good going mate @steepshot
Thank you.
I just signed up for the web version yesterday and posted some pics and then linked them through my post on dtube. It worked great
This app is very useful for me and easy to use.I hope so that is very nice more than old version ....
Keep going .........hopeful .....
That's a great update @steepshot. Nice work. It will be easier to use now. Thanks! 😊😊😊
Love this app
Good post, I am a photographer, it passes for my blog and sees my content, I hope that it should be of your taste:D greetings
Can't wait to try it. While iOS app isn't available yet, I will see how well it works using the Safari browser. Much success to everyone involved in this project.
can you upload photograph from your computer or is steepshot just for android phone users?
https://alpha.steepshot.io/
well a good work and idea to providing it for also android hope we enjoying this awesome app and this sliding and right lefe function in demo looking good and make it more brilliant
Way better than Instagram in my opinion. Absolutely love the new features, it's more user friendly than before. Thank you for the wonderful updates.
Great work! Looking forward to have Steem transfer feature too.
when all your funds are in SteemPower and can do account recovery/password change, then I'm cool using steemconnect.
That's true, but I think for now we are the own banks for ourself.
I finally updated the Android app, and I'm so happy I did. It's beautiful, and works so smoothly. Thank you for all of the hard work that you've put into making this a great app. I will definitely be using it more now.
Intersting app @steepshot! Ive seen quite a few people post with it but didnt think much more about it then. Will have to download it now!
Looks great! I'll be waiting for that IOS version.
@steepshot, no conocía acerca de esta aplicación, pero ahora que se de ella no dusdare en usarla.
Me parece genial una aplicación que permite tener acceso a tu galería de imágenes en el momento.
Why is Discord so popular with Steemians? I'm new here...
Nice post friend
Wow guys. Hope the steepshot community grows bigger and better
Plan ahead. Looking forward for more new features in steemit
✌!
its really nice.. someday I will say: bye bye In*tagram
Congratulations @steepshot and thanks you very much 😊
great app i will check it
verry good
@steepshot may I know why my account says failed to validate thanks for assistance I really love steepshot I am just sad crushed I can't use it no more
To upload photos I always use this steepshot application, very helpful thanks steepshot.. :)
Thank you for this! I tried and installed it and love the idea behind! no more need for long posts!
Oops, forgot to say what I visited the page for. Would like to ask when the version for iOS will be available? I have just asked my friends to join Steemit and this was one application I introduced them but saw that it was available in Android only.
Would love to have this application in iOS as well.
What a great app built on Steem! Great work!
Are there any issues with the platform today?
I can't upload for 30 minutes now. I tried a lot of times mobile connection or wifi. Only errors:
Me too, I failed to upload photos from the app, telegram and the website!
Thank you for replying. Then I know I am not alone. I gave up at the end and uploaded via Steemit.com. @Steepshot What is going on guys?
This is really amazing, I am going to try it right now. But I have a question, Is Steephot not still available for app store?
thank you @steepshot.
This is super exciting!!! Do you exist only as an Android app at the moment? Was wondering if there was at least a mobile website us iOSers could use in the meantime.
Otherwise, congrats on this achievement! I was wondering if something like your app already existed and then heard a reference tonit in one of the DTube videos. EXCITING TIMES!
I am curiously waiting for the update to finish. you are doing good work. @steepshot
is steepshot a steemit type thing where i can get paid for posting photographs ?
