hey @benjojo not seen anything apart from the tag #steemgigs and i'm not sure what they are working on, i'm just about to try and learn electron (see my blog) so i'm thinking in the short term some kind of desktop app for aggregating rss feeds or tags that we all agree could work. but i think that's an area to get together on for sure for the community. if i see anything i'll loop you in!

sounds good to me :) I think the kind of tool I'm talking about would need to be a mobile tool with functionality that fits this particular use-case, but then once there are several well used and popular tools, someone needs to build a mobile UI that stitches it all seamlessly together.

to be honest once you have the code base made, building a mobile wrapper app is fairly easy with something like phonegap. so build the web app and mobile view would be easy, the only issue i can think of right now is handling payments/steem part but i'm sure libraries and code exists and so many app developers on here, maybe something similar to steemshot would be able to bolt that in easier. it's like instagram but for steem. it's really new but it works quite well.

That sounds really positive and very very exciting. I'm not technical at all so I get quite anxious that there are suitable ways to make all this happen. Thank you for all the info!
