Hello, dear Steemians and Steevians!
This is the second update from the Steeve team, we want to share what we have accomplished since the previous update. If you don't know yet what Steeve is, make sure to check the intro post.
Read Next
Steeve is very much about recommendations and the most significant feature added in this respect is the Read Next section that you will now find under selected stories just above the comments section.
Editing and Deleting Content
Up until now, it was possible to only add content. From now on it is possible to also edit and delete stories and comments. This is another must-have feature that will make your interaction with the blockchain easier.
Profile Page
When browsing your feed and recommendations, it is just natural that you encounter a new user that you want to check out. You can do so directly in Steeve from now on, the URL format is the same as for Steemit and other platforms, e.g https://www.steeve.app/@steeveapp. Only the blog section is available for now, but that is probably the most needed one.
Improved Signup
New users were getting confused about whether to click Sign Up or Sign In, so we changed it to a single button.
Other Issues
All issues are listed in the issue tracker under a milestone, but let's list all new features here:
- #5: Make it possible to edit comments
- #7: user profile: Add blog
- #18: comments: Do not fetch comments that are not shown
- #21: Add recommendations to the story page
- #25: Improve the signup process
- #27: security: Add noopener noreferrer to links
- #28: Make it possible to edit stories
- #29: Make it possible to delete comments
- #30: Make it possible to delete stories
- #32: profile page: Add follow buttons
Big hug goes to @noisy for reporting security issue #27.
What is Next
Changes do not spread well throughout the web application right now. When you vote on a story opened from your feed, the story card in the feed is not updated. This needs fixing.
Making it possible to upload pictures through the editor is also a very high priority.
We also want to improve the profile page, which is rather sparse right now.
Adding a mana bar would be also nice so that you can keep track of your voting power and resource credits.
Last but not least we are constantly working on improving our recommendations. So as you interact with Steeve the recommendations should gradually reflect your personal preferences more and more.
Support Steeve
The best support for now is to actually log in and try Steeve out. Let us know then what you think! Use comments or the issue tracker.
We need to spread the word throughout the community, so don’t hesitate to resteem this story. Don’t forget to follow @steeveapp for more updates to come.

I think... the biggest issue with Steeve will be... to convince people to chose everyday Steeve over other interfaces with traditional trending pages.
IMO gamification is a solution... like visit Steeve 3 days in a row, to unclock extra feature, visit Steeve 7 days in a row, you will get X!
We will think about it, thanks ;-)
Excellent, it is good to go improving to give more facility to the users to work with it, in my pc it has the problem of that it is very slow.
Anything in particular? I mean, the overall loading time, one particular action or...
Thanks for the input ;-)
nice bro......
Is photo not allow to upload on Steeve Alpha?
Yeah, that is not supported yet, because it is not possible to use the same image hosting as Steemit when not having Steem keys, just SteemConnect tokens, so we will have to crash that one using some other approach, but it is definitely pretty high on our list...
There is actually an issue created for this already.
alright sir thank you..hope it would be fix soon..
It is possible to upload images now. There is a button for that right under the story body text area. Enjoy Steeve ;-)
yay...that sounds great!thanks for the update i will try it tomorrow and share my new story on steeve
