Why SteemConnect ?

It has been more than 6 months that Steem and Steemit have been launched and already a whole ecosystem of applications is being built around the Steem blockchain. Nevertheless this profusion of new projects that demonstrate the enthusiasm and dynamism of Steemians leads to the issue of Security for both users and developers of our ecosystem.

Security is key for thriving ecosystem like Steem

The Busy team seriously works on identifying the key challenges and core issues that need to be solved to make Steem successful. One of the first identified issues after Steemit.com was announced Open Source and our SteemJS release by @fabien (CTO & co-founder of Busy) few month ago, was Security for users and how to find solutions that would allow new projects to flourish.

For users: How to ensure the security of your private keys when you connect to the Steem blockchain through other apps and websites than Steemit? How can you possibly trust these domains with your credentials and putting your reputation and eventually money at risk ?

For developers: How to facilitate your workflow by helping you to focus on your applications development without having to manage the user authentication? How to solve user trust issue with a transparent, convenient solution ensuring complete safety for everyone ?

SteemConnect, a universal login interface for the Steem Apps Ecosystem

Our solution ? Build an open-source, collaborative, transparent, identity & login base layer for any Steem Apps who want to benefit from a convenient and secure solution. That’s what Busy brings with SteemConnect.
This simple identity layer built on top of the Steem blockchain allows every Steem users to connect to authorized apps is a secure and convenient way.

It’s an opensource project that can only be improved through a concentrated effort involving all important members/developers from the Steem community to make a trusted tool that everyone can use, encrypting with complete safety your keys & data..
Not only it will allow users to use several apps without fear but some Module/Widget like the Disqus comment built on Steem would definitely bring new users and allow tons of possibilities, 2017 will be crazy :)
