Updating developer portal - What would you suggest?

We’re fully scoping out a complete overhaul of the developer portal to make it easier to understand. This way, we can allow potential investors along with new developers to gain a real grasp on what Steem is and why it should be their next potential venture or feature they can add to current projects or upcoming projects they plan to build.

Making things easy!

Whysteem is currently overhauling the developer portal to make it simpler, we’ll be including more libraries for Steem to give people more option than are currently listed. See below for everything we will be adding.

Things we will be adding

A friendlier, simple and less cluttered design
Real use cases like trusted login methods apps are currently using
Starter apps for people to play around with. These apps will show many forms of connectivity to the Steem blockchain with client-side transactions and more.
Steem-engine integration and full documentation
much more.

A tidbit of information on the starting apps

React native: https://github.com/react-everywhere/re-start
Angular 7 https://angular.io

Why Steem_.png

We need some ideas for the new developer portal. Below are some ways you can help us out, which only require effort.

Bug checking the current developer portal https://developers.steem.io
Ideas for the new development and redesign are welcome
Adding translations once that part is complete
Anything else you can think of

Leave us comments or feel free to submit issues via github.

Fix the "Get Started" Button: link it to https://signup.steemit.com/ for example.
@pagandance(56)· 2667d
because of @pagandance no other shit is posted on these few square centimeters.

A few ideas:
- Don't just list full custom STEEM libs, but also more generic libs for JSON-RPC, base58, etc.
- Remove libraries with repos that have been inactive for a long time. Maybe a cleanup after HF(n ) of all libs not updated since HF(n-1).
- For languages where this makes sense, distinguish between blocking/synchronous libs and non-blocking asynchronous.
- Per language (+ lib attributes), create an API completeness matrix, one column per lib, one for per set of related API calls or other API feature, error handling, etc.
- Do the same with API nodes as columns.
- Keep an up to date (hours) list of API nodes and publish their specific stack, availability stats, etc in both a user friendly view and in a JSON variant. List should include info on failure model, rate limit implementation, batch support, etc.
- Link to @utopian-io posts about the libraries.
- Create resources describing the different options for implementing user authentication and/or user authorized operations (KeyChain, micro transactions with, custom JSON Auth, that Google bridge thing (forgot it's name), SteemConnect, using the users posting key, etc) again with a matrix showing advantages and drawbacks of the different options.
- A register for description of custom JSON based layers on top of STEEM
- If it exists: information on anything smart-contract related for the STEEM blockchain.
Hope this is the kind of input you were looking for.

I love the design and logo

This post has been included in the latest edition of The Steem News - a compilation of the key news stories on the Steem blockchain.
@ero-sensei(45)· 2668d
Steem is really great for long term investors and social media addicts, but I somehow feel that day traders, especially those who do day trading or short term swing trading like holding a coin for a week or so are totally not being attracted to Steem.
@imwatsi(71)· 2668d
Great. I'll be making contributions soon. I found it a bit hard to navigate the API documentation, to get methods for what I was looking for, and I spotted a few bugs in sample curl requests provided.
@arthursen(48)· 2668d
Nice work.
@stefano.massari(75)· 2668d
I think that we need a good up for smartphone only. I like whole project
@shoikot6932(35)· 2668d
Why is this a featured post? I'm getting posts from all accounts I have never seen before ....
@holoz0r(78)· 2668d
Instructions on how to get a witness node up and running with MIRA for normies. Think of how easy it was to get a dogecoin miner going. Make it that easy to set up a witness to increase decentralisation.
@farizal(64)· 2668d
STEEM needs another layer for a front-page that have smart algorithm and curated by smart admins to list down good quality post.

@jaicyjarc(42)· 2669d
good luck with the updates
@minhaz.noor(45)· 2669d
Make some tutorial for steemit easier. Thanks @whysteem
@alexs1320(72)· 2669d
What would you suggest?

To hire someone, to tell you the exact answers.

Seriously, people, 100% seriously. Marketcap of Steem is 100.000.000 $. It's a serious money. It would be perfectly reasonable to pay some real experts 100.000 $ per month to fix the problem.

Invest 1% of the value to create 100% of value (for those not good at math, to make Steem about 1 $ worth again)

If you still want several free advice from me (*absolute amateur):
- Make RT publish the collaboration PUBLICLY
- Put Steem on Crypto ATMs
- Bring some people from YT and Patreon
@austinewealth(28)· 2669d
I think is a welcome development because a lot of people is yet to fully comprehend the usage of steemit myself is a good example.
@omrfrq18(43)· 2669d
Good opportunity and good project. Thanks for this post.
@liltom002(59)· 2669d
I think a gateway for peer to peer chatting should be incorporated into steemit.com.
@a-non-e-moose(56)· 2669d
Hooray!
I've been hoping the developer portal would get updated. I've used it quite a lot and have been on a lot of levels somewhat disappointed.

I use mostly the API definitions and I'd say that it could use some cleanup. Another thing that couldn't hurt would be tutorials for more languages.

I'd be quite happy indeed to write up some of them for java if any help is needed or wanted. I could do at least a handful of the tutorial subjects shown in the other tutorials. I have a pretty good handle on all the 'get' stuff. I also know a few other languages not listed in the tutorials.
@fingolfin(63)· 2669d
Why is this a featured post? I don't mind getting news on whats going on but I'm getting posts from all types of accounts that I have never seen before. Shouldn't the featured posts be limited to an official account or something along those lines?

Is there any way to stop these posts from coming back after I click to get rid of them the first time?
@devann(61)· 2669d
Just what steem needs.
@krnel(80)· 2669d
Make tutorials in steem-js instead of dsteem, as dsteem doesn't show the proper amount of resteemers/reblogged_by users. Or just do it for that tutorial, but might as well go all steem-js since steemit maintains that package more.
@aussieninja(70)· 2669d
The list of contributors to this project is impressive. It's like a who's who of Steem witnesses.
@cloudspyder(60)· 2669d
Just do it and we will all going to invite more developer aboard.
