Last month, @jerrybanfield and his project @budgets allocated 400STEEM to SteemPlus to accelerate its development and it allowed some magic to happen:
- We almost reached 500 users!
- 200 STEEM from the budget and some of my personal money were used to hire a developer to help me work on some of the SteemPlus features.
- 200 STEEM have been attributed for bounties. From those, 60 have already been distributed, 70 are pending and 70 will be set as bounties for new tasks very soon.
- SteemPlus v2 was successfully launched and followed by 3 major feature updates
- SteemPlus is currently in Beta for the integration of 1UP, that will become a huge frontrunner for the best contributions on Utopian
- Besides SteemPlus, thanks to the help of the developer I was able to hire, I worked on many other projects such as Utopian, AgX and 1UP.
What's next?
It all looks great but this is only the beginning. Here is what is coming soon for SteemPlus
- Android Widgets!
- Incorporation of Steemit More Info features (it is sadly not maintained anymore and lots of features are buggy).
- Witness indicators
- Integration with third-party applications for direct access to tools from Steemit/Busy/Utopian
- Basically everything the community needs. Ask for it and we ll do it!
SteemPlus budget
The first budget allocation brought us up to speed but we re just getting started, we need more people to make more good work and provide the community with the best tools possible. For this, my goals this month are:
- Setting up a legal company.
- Hiring full time the developer that has been working part-time until now.
- Allocating part of the budget to bounties on Steemit and Utopian
- Renting an office.
- Hiring a second developer part time during a test period.
I am expecting to spend at least $5000 for this in the coming month (around 1500 STEEM as we speak) and can afford to invest 500 STEEM myself.
Therefore, I would like to ask for 1000 STEEM of funding for this month.
Huge thanks to @jerrybanfield for this opportunity to grow my project! I would love to have the chance to talk to you on Discord (@stoodkev) about your many projects and your vision on Steem.
