Hello Steemians!

It's been a while since we updated you on development, and we're glad to announce the next build of Deegram that's being released shortly.

There have been some distractions lately with the escalating conflict with Instagram and Facebook while managing some press coverage about this in newspapers and on a live radio show.

The good news is that this gave us a list of new people wanting to try out Deegram and Steem, and we're glad to be onboarding new community members. We're still working on building up our Steem Power to the level required for free account generation, but in the meantime, we're paying the account creation costs ourselves.
