I absolutely love this. Specialized front end is exactly what STEMsocial needs. Articles curated by you guys fit a science website more than a random blog. @steemhunt is the best non game DAPP on STEEM IMHO and using a very well crafted front end with its own features is one of the biggest contributers to that. I immediately voted for the proposal without even looking at what you guys are asking for.
Current https://stem.openhive.network website still needs improvements to look slick and ahead the curve. I'm not a UI designer. So I prefer not to give any advice on that. I'll try to bring more awareness for the project.
Yes we are very aware that the front-end needs some proper design, and we will get there! As much as it pains me, the backend stuff is more important to function smoothly and flexibly before we pretend to be something more than we're not with a nice aesthetic - and besides, we can hire help specifically on this matter if this proposal works out =D
Glad to have your support (and open critique is always welcome for bug finding etc)!
Thanks a lot for your support and comment.
We know that the front end design should be very high in the priority list, as well as its mobile version (that is barely existing, to be honest). Following the comment by @joelsegovia, we will put everything as a roadmap and this item will be tagged as a "high priority" item. In the meantime, we will take seriously any (reasonable) advice :)
