This is a NEED man. We need this shitt

Were you around in the days of Zappl? That was “Twitter for Steem” back in the day. Unfortunately the team seemed more focused on fundraising than development and it folded. Think I still have some worthless tokens I purchased in my bitshares wallet!

I agree Twitter & Instagram style content should be embraced. I think one of the best approaches to propel such projects forward is to refine the displays on hive.blog, PeakD, and other “core” Hive sites that are more long form focused. These front ends should potentially not show content from dApps geared toward a radically different format, have it be a user toggle preference, or create a widget style feed/homepage which separates out blog/pic/microblog/Actifit, etc. into respective containers, sidebars, footers and such.

I do like having a “one stop” site for all my Hive needs, but the uncontrolled mingling of content types and posting cultures creates a lot of unnecessary friction in content sorting, discoverability, and user interaction.

I think the top echelon on hive will consider it spamming just as they considered steemhunt spamming/abusing on steem. Except if such dapp will have its own layer where posts will not show up on the main blogging interface. 

Themarkymark did have a steem.social back in the day.

Functioned exactly like Twitter.

He never tried it out on the chain

But

It's still my best experience on Steem till this day.

At some point Whaleshares.io will make sense to everyone.

What you want is already implemented, it is called quick post. We also have pods (community posts with comment access restricted to community members but reward (tip) access to all) to have like minded people post about their passion without being trolled by people who have no interest in the topic.

Combined with the absence of downvotes, you have no need for all the restrictions and limitations to prevent gamifying rewards.

People should try it. At least the people who value comments over rewards.

Quora on Hive would be absolutely fantastic. My brain must have optimal factory settings for the Q&A format. I could bang away answers to questions all day every day. I often have difficulty coming up with anything to say from scratch but if there is a wealth of interesting questions to answer it's like Christmas to me.

Trouble is, I have zero interest in fattening the bank accounts of the founders of Quora. People who know and understand blockchain-based social media with crypto rewards and still remain on Web 2.0 platforms must be brain dead because this is so completely superior on so many levels. There is no disgusting censorship here involving stupid moderators or some idiot whose argument you're destroying making your answers or comments disappear. Back in the day when Musing had the large Steemit, Inc delegation, you could take ten minutes to come up with a decent answer after which @musing would vote on it and a week from that you'd get a couple of dollar's worth of Steem. People who turn their backs at that must have something really seriously wrong with them. Why the fuck would you rather let some fat cats in Silicon valley collect the fruits of your labor? And not only that, the same fat cats have minions on their payroll whose job it is to make a digital zombie of you, which they sit around prodding and poking all day to learn every possible way to manipulate you into spending money on crap advertised on their platform that you help populate with interesting content for free.

Web 2.0 is absolute crap. It's total fucking bullshit compared to what we have here. 

I think if the app had max payout limit in the current state then it would not get used. Only if it was an SMT could that be a thing because people will just use normal hive and already post 100 character crap for $2 values. Needy baby greedy baby. 

Without SMT or a way to properly control hive will remain the dumpsite it is and there is no reason to do the effort on niche things that touch on "governance" aka controlling payout

Very true. I for one will be using it much. I think steemit use to have such an app
