Since many users have asked us to make a video of the site here you go.
We also listed detailed plans of development and future development.
Yes it will be encrypted messaging
Yes will included encrypted group messaging.
Yes it will be awesome and yes it will be open source.
Feel free to ask us more question down below and if we can we will answer them.
Zappl is a micro blogging alternative for the Steem block chain that we hope to bring to the public with in 9-10 weeks. Though we can only reach this goal with the funds we require. Yes we know its a large some of SBD to be asking for. But in the post below listed we explain how the funds will be used and what will come out of the funds.

thks for the updates guys!
No problem.

Great work, guys!
Well thanks for the compliments and support.
Steem on
phenomenol news and update. tweet'd and resteem'd!
Well thanks you also we have issued your zappl to you.
A really nice project, do you need a android developer for an app that support zappl ?
We currently don't need anymore developers we have lined up a team to start the project. But after the launch since we will be an open source project i welcome all developers and designers to join at that point.
I would REALLY like to see the escrow feature in the wallet!!!
If we can pull it off before launch then we will if not you will likely see it sometime after launch.
Whenever its done, Ill make it so anyone can buy anything of Amazon with STEEM
Now that would be pretty cool aye!

Twitter Killer....yes
Maybe it will be x]
The FUTURE is HERE!
:)
It came in like an unexpected zap
how will this differ from Busy.org?
Well busy isn't really short form micro-blogging like twitter its basically Steemit just re-skinned.
We plan to take it to a whole other level with development and bringing cool features to the steem with out having to add them on the blockchain side. Its basically short posts like twitter you just get paid like on steemit. Our earlier posts can explain much more, you can find that in the main post.
ok, great. I'm in. I like short. except when it involves......
Giggity.!!
giggles
i'm a twitter addict.....so.....
Well that's good to hear.
Awesome!
Yeahhhhhh!!!!
It's great to have more use cases and alternatives for the steem platform. Healthy competition and alternatives keeps everyone striving to be better and offers different perspectives to the platform.
Yep this is how the blockchain will evolve, and how the community will evolve rapidly.
I couldn't agree more with what you said in terms of healthy competition and alternatives. Keeps things moving good.
have you considered what I wrote about?
https://steemit.com/zappl/@zappl/sneak-peak-video-of-zappl
Oh bitshare asset you mean yeah where currently looking into it.
More then a few people seem pretty interested so.. Maybe is all i can say.
I would buy in a heartbeat. :-)
You mean like this?
https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/market/ZAPPL_OPEN.SBD
Bingo!
Were currently not to familiar with the assets and how to distribute them. But we are researching it thats for sure.
Nice stuff! Seeing it from the start and already progressing quickly. Hope I can join the Alpha testing :P
There currently is no alpha testing alpha/beta website and apps will drop the same day.
Mind blown - love it!!
Well thanks.
Are you planning on storing encrypted information on the blockchain itself?
Currently no its really to inefficient, group encrypted chats would only make it worse to deal with.
Its one of the reasons we have listed to likely being after launch since there needs to be some consulting. That stuff would have be stored via database for now unless we make a plugin for the witnesses to run. But even that limits users to so many seconds between replies, if its just like text yeah it will work if its more like an "IM" well it kinda needs to be instant. If anyone has a better solution we are all ears for sure. Anything that helps with decentralized chatting I'm for sure interested in hearing.
Have you looked into the XMPP (Jabber) protocol? It supports federation ... maybe WebRTC or something and make each client a user... or maybe adapt it... I will have to think a little more on this.... maybe a sister temp block chain for chats that's faster... just thought diarrhea here lol
Well thanks for your thoughts.
Is this open source? Where is the repo if so... I might experiment with a few IM ideas if I get any.
Sweet, and makes sense. Over the course of steem's history I've talked to a few people about wanting to store encrypted/private information on the blockchain - it almost always is a bad idea :)
Good to hear you're going the database route for the time being!
Yeah i figure its best to go the way we know will work then to go the route we know might fail.
Love the project, reaching out to you on discord now!
resteemed
great stuff
I really love this format, the way steem should be moving towards. NICE!
Yeah quickly evolving.
Thank you for the video!
This truly looks fantastic!
I am going to sign up the day it is launched! :)
