Hello Steemers,
I'm an active developer in Steem's ecosystem for more than seven months (Busy Team). Please answer the question below in comments to help me and other developers about your ideas and get a reward of $2 to $8 (my voting power) based on how much useful your comment is. I will try to reward all comments. Thank you
Question: What kind of apps you use in a daily basis that you think can be implemented on top of Steem?
(For example an app for runners that can reward users based on achieving their goals)
Please re-steem so others would also know about this opportunity.
Thank you very much and Steem on!
I think some kind of ICO can be done on STEEM platform. We can distribute coins based on votes post ( or series of posts ) receives. Or just funding projects without ICO, something like Patreon. It could be done now on steemit.com itself, but with nice interface it will quite a different matter.
Some sort of steem integrated music library (itunes, Google play, etc) would be very cool to have. Offer selections of steemit musicians with options to purchase albums or individual tracks based on a selected price of steem/sbd. I just made a post last week about potentially releasing an album exclusively through steemit and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find something like this useful. Plus with the state of the digital music world lately, a steem-integrated app for artists to sell could end up huge! It is significantly easier to spend steem on music than actual dollars, and doing so before it even transfers to BTC or your bank is way easier and a little more painless. Could be a cool market if it was promoted well.
Very interesting idea. Which business model of monetization for music you like more? similar to Google Play (purchasing tracks/albums) or similar to Spotify (live streaming)?
I feel like Google play would be a more simple way to implement it since it is a straight across direct transaction. Idk how easy the streaming idea would work but then again Im no expert in that tech lol
Snapchat, reward for sending snaps to friends on a daily base. Like a snap-streak :)
Thanks! Good one.
i think an emergency application would be useful on top of steem where people could help out fellow steemians in need when something goes wrong say at an airport, broke down at the roadside, not sure how we would do it because the funds would be gathered from lots of steemians and need to be accessed instantly to help the person - i'm thinking you have a network of say 50/100 people linked in that have agreed to help in an emergency, i could talk you though it if you wanted.
Great idea, thanks for contributing. Yes funds should be available in one account (can be gathered for free by users upvoting the posts from emergency account) and then send to the person by acceptance of providers of fund. However the process of verifying who should get the money without a chance to abuse the system is a challenge.
sure, absolutely and i agree. we don't want gobs of people just be like free money, i think some kind of sliding scale of trust and authenticity based on engagement and compassion, comments, those are your circle of trust. it could be done. just need to sound it out.
hmm I noticed there's a lot of writers/musicians here. It'd be cool if Steem had a downloads platform where people could tip or buy high quality downloads of books, music, games ect directly from content creators, and then pay them in steem dollars or alternatively tip them for offering free high quality downloads.
A native streaming music/video uploader that paid for views in steem would be cool too. Then people could put their videos directly on Steem instead of going through YouTube.
Nice idea! I also was thinking a good gateway or download platform for steem would be great.
I think something like a StackOverflow would be pretty amazing, I could see it implemented very cleanly on top of Steem. As developers we can't go a single day without looking for answers on bia Google and that 7 times out of 10 will always lead back to StackOverflow! I don't know what I would do without Google and StackOverflow. They've done a great job building they're community, but I think Steem would present a clear opportunity for even better answers and content. Cheers!
Right but it's not easy to make it as competitive as StackOverflow is. They are totally dominant in any kind of programming Q&A website. However, the same concept but on another niche might work much better with Steem.
Yes, totally agree. I was just using the SO as an example. I think a QA format would fit nicely on top of Steem
I would love to see location based add-ons. Something besides the normal post tags. For people not in major cities, being able to sync up to people locally would be great. And could also be used to tag pictures/posts when traveling, going to restaurants, events, etc.
Very nice idea for a location based app to connect steemers. Thank you I loved it.
Apps I use every day? Well I do a lot of events on Facebook because I manage a guesthouse and play in bands and what not. I think it'd be cool to have a sort integrated events platform. Since I could send peopel to read my posts with no problems, it'd be cool to send events that people could RSVP or something like that to introduce them to the platform.
Thanks interesting idea :-)
Thanks! I figure it's the mundane stuff that really forces us to stick with a particular platform. That an integration on other things we're stuck with. For instance, I hate facebook, but the ubiquitousness of the events keeps me planted to some degree. I largely tweet and just let that go to facebook so I can look at FB as little as possible.
I'm actually working on something for this right now. Based on a Wordpress website, Steemit is not really suitable, but with autopublish functions to Facebook, Twitter and Steem.
I really do not like the event functionality of Facebook and they changed their API so you can no longer automagically add events, so I post posts now LOL.
What pisses me off is the fact that I can't actually invite the people in my group to an event. I HAVE to advertise to them or else it doesn't work. I can invite my friends, but people I don't know have to hopefully see a post which of course Facebook is not incentivised to show people as much... not that I could prove that.
You are right; Facebook added events as an afterthought and it does not really seem to be important for them.
One of the other problems I have is that it is very difficult to determine which information is correct. When multiple people create the same event, but with different information you still need to go and find which is correct.
I think we can gain a lot by doing this correctly.
Don't know if any one here has posted something like this but how about any popular language learning app. I live in China and know only a fraction of the language. I'm too lazy or busy at times to study but I really do want to pick up on it more. I can imagine it being integrated into Steem and rewarding you to learn any language. It'll give you an incentive to put in time and effort to learning the language you desire. In the end you prosper and have become fluent in a new language, a notable accomplishment.
Certainly some kind of bank app in order to link Steemit with the old world and enable us to pay/get paid in steemit or easily convert steemit in local currency or other crypto currency directly within the website. The current system still seems a bit complicated to a newbie like me.
Thanks Arnaud, meanwhile you can check bittrex.com for depositing your steem and exchange it to Bitcoin. I think the bank option is also available in the site but if not the process of converting Bitcoin to any local currency is pretty straightforward with local companies.
You could make a Steem Instagram with only photos and comments, I think it would be quite easy to do by taking the first photo of each post and only show this in the post. You could also use special tags if people want to post only photos to your app.
I think an app like Tripadvisor would be great. You could reward comments, but also the restaurants/hotels/places itself. Similar ideas would be an app where you could "only" rate restaurants , another one to rate hotels (booking like)... almost anything can be rate. There is a couple of webs where you can rate your teacher for instance. Sorry I'm brainstorming now 😊...😊
Thanks!
If your thinking e-commerce, what about an app similar to ebates where companies can sign up to the app and anyone who makes purchases either gets a percentage/fixed price back in steem
Quora - Questions and Answers
Stitcher - Podcast app that seamlessly integrates new podcast episodes into radio format, along with short ads that pay for the platform
Tinder - Imagine being able to incentivize uncommon genders for example
Haha I love the idea of Tinder. Incentivize other genders to get a chance for dating them :D
It would help encourage more women for example to become members, where they usually are the smaller minority =)
But not the right group of women I suppose.
lol no that's the risk of course, but I think it would be worth a shot as long as there is a genuinly good platform in general and other motivations aside from the money.
If there wasn't then we'd probably be in some legal trouble as well I'm guessing :p

Thank you!
Hi, I think a wallet app would be usefull to manage your steem or other cryptos. My second idea would be a Yoga app, I am fan of yoga and from time to time I use a yoga app to keep track of my training or to look up for new routines.
I think that a sort of programmimg a post would be a great help for the people who dedicate their accounts to a specific theme like finances, Anthropology, society, entertainment, book and movie reviews, etc. By example, Wordpress have a schedule mode where you can schedule a post for the day you want it to be seen.
Hey there @p0o, thank you first foe putting your time into all of this. Without people like you this whole project wouldn't work at all.
Regarding your Question I'd love to see a chat application like whatsapp or similar, in which you might e.g. get rewards for upvoting pictures of your friends. To make every single message a post would be a bit much probably.
Further something like Snapchat would be great, in which you can upvote the snaps of your friends :)
Your welcome and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts :-)
Hm, to think of it - some kind of Slack, team messenger app. If this is feasible to reside on blockchain ...
This sounds like you got the real big plans developing a bunch of further apps for Steemit. I'm using a lot of fitness apps and would love to have one based on Steemit as well. Maybe by sharing your workouts in a feed /wall of the app and getting likes for it accordingly by others.
Haha thank you!
I use google translate, maybe create an app that would translate a post to whatever language you speak , that would help to connect people from different countries
Thats a great idea that we are implementing into our project ;)
Steemit is being used by individuals of different nationalities and languages, some non-English speaking. I see Spanish, Indonesian, Chinese, German and Japanese posts and it would be SOOOOO helpful if those posts were AUTO-TRANSLATED when the page loads (not GOOGLE translate but built-in to steemit to make this diverse community singular and to break the language barrier. :)
Well I don't think anyone would like to read auto-translated articles unless they have to (students doing assignments for example) however I saw many posts recently in different languages (specially Mandarin) so the potential is there.
A games app, where you can play games and get rewarded for your achievement in the games with steempower !!
I think there should defiantly be voice chat systems such as discord for you to communicate with your followers or people you are following. There could also be a game implemented on top, and the game itself can have achievements for playing it. It would also be easier to be able to straight up transfer wallet currency to steem currency without having to transfer it into anther coin first such as bitcoin.
an app for question/answer format ^_^
I was also thinking about Q&A website.
https://stackoverflow.com/ does this with vitual points for years and it is works pretty good.
This could be an ever greater incentive to share knowledge freely.
yea stack exchange, quora, yahoo answers, etc. are all very successful, it would be great to have that kind of function built onto steem blockchain ^_^
Maybe an app for sports results . Because i some betting going on with steem :)
I could see the usefulness of an opt-in ad system that only displayed ads to users who chose to display ads. Revenue from the ads displayed would then be shared with the user.
may be a chat between users like facebook messenger,if ur are following sommeone and that person id following you then we will be able to chatwith our followers
A built-in community marketplace could be very useful where you could buy and sell things (for example physical books or any physical content or digital content) for Steem/Steem dollars. This could improve the value of Steem/Steem dollars and the user experience in my opinion!
An app to keep track of number of calories burnt, the more calories the person burns doing exercise the more he would be rewarded.
I use Blockfolio (cryptocurrency monitor) and i Use Grammarly (Its a spell and grammar checker).
I think both of those have a place here. Thank you for your engagement. All the best :)
a steem calculator; to estimate the value of posts votes and so on
if you did like my previous ideas will give you this
a video chat a public chat where users will gett upvotes on thier live show
I think for mass adoption you would need an app for people with absolutely no tech skills to make post that are pretty with no html/markdown code. Almost like a word program with po int and click options. I know my dad wouldnt be able to post with his lack of skills the way it is set up now. Hope this helps!
That's a WYSIWYG.
Maybe something like an exercise app where you're awarded a reward when you complete an activity like walking, running, pushups etc.
i am using baymack and snuckls and they pay very good and so many people use it and in it we have to see compolsory video and we gave to guess number and if it come in draw they will give money and its work of referral program to so we earn good there. i think you have to make one contest where people can take part once and if it select on random then they get prize this is my only opinion otherwise still i love this community.
You can put something like a notepad to get connect with a special person that would be cool.
if you like my ideas, iwill give you this one
a video chat room where a user can gett upvotes based on his live performance
i assume that this will bring more users specially the youth
A 3d printer/design tool like Thingiverse might be really useful here. Those of us who enjoy 3D printing are always looking for new ideas and are typically share our creations with others.
Using this site as a hub for sharing ideas, projects, advice, etc would be very beneficial. A reward system for something like that could be almost identical to Steemit and I think it would be very successful.
chatapp? like whatsapp
marketplace buy and sell? shirts from steemit or coffeecups ect
search and find?
how i start on steemit?
what can i do with steemit maybe partner companies here can i buy with steem$
It would be nice if we could exclude tags selectively, whenever i go to browse some of the less used tags the top is dominated by marginally related posts.
We already developed that in busy.org, go login in the website with your Steem username and go to different tags and click on favorite. You would have them on top of your tags list forever :-)
Great that we're getting this opportunity.
First of all I think a decent multi-language support feature, adopting to the settings of the users device, NOT geo-based, is in my opinion necessary.
Also I think Steem would benefit from a social login button like other social networks use. This should be quite easy to program.
Great work, if I come up with other requests/features I'll let you know.
Thank you for your ideas :-)
I think that Steem is actually the perfect place for simple gaming and betting (on all kinds of events).
Steem can also become the future of charities and we don't even need new apps for that:
Steem is awesome!
I can't imagine how big it could become!
Hey there welcome to Steemit, I hope you have a great time here,looking forward to reading more of your post
I know one thing I use everyday and its my app to let me listen to music. I you could integrate that then let people share music with each other on steem (kind of like qq music which lets you share the music into WeChat). So if someone posts a song you can just click on it and listen to it.
Also I don't know if this has been said already but I live in China currently so I use WeChat everyday. One of the best features for WeChat is WeChat pay. It lets you scan a QR code and pay anyone else who has the app. It also let's you pay bills.
Another app we use a lot would be Meituan, It let's you order food and pay with WeChat pay. You can also buy movie tickets and things like that.
Hope that helps.
Welcome to Steemit @p0o!
I'm a bot-helper, and I'm created to help. Congratulations on the registration on Steam - you really like it here!
I upvote your post so you can get your first money. If you like me, make an upvote of my comment and follow me.
Your upvote will allow you to give more money to new users, such as you. Let's make Steam better together!
All the money I earn will be donated to charity.
I follow you, and I hope you will follow me.
Steem on!
Two ideas here:
The first one can be an app similar to Yahoo finance, where you can track stocks and at the click of a button, be able to share one of more of them on Steemit in a blog post while allowing yourself to comment on what you think is happening and what you think will happen. This could be a great way to get community insight into how the stock market (for those who invest in it) is doing/going.
The second idea here is not an app, but more of a functionality for Steemit (I don't know where else to post this). But the idea is that similar to YouTube, you can organize your blog posts into categories/playlists to help keep things organized.
Maybe a Get Paid to feature. Members can create micro jobs/tasks that other member can do/perform and be rewarded for that.
Basically the same things others have said. Youtube, Instagram, Pandora, Games. I think a more "Facebook Like" interface would definitely push people to the platform. Sorta how chainbb has made an "oldschool" forum style to draw in people more comfortable in that arena.
