Development Update
BeScouted is premier photography community on Steem blockchain where members get rewards for sharing their images just like making posts on Steemit.
Image discovery needs a different display options as they are the main object of the post and we have bootstrapped a website that does just that. Any post you make will also be cross posted on Steemit.com so you get double exposure for your work as it will be visible on both platforms and comments will be shared too just like busy.org for example.
After launching photo upload a three weeks ago we have added comments from Steemit, improved major post launch bugs and made different UI/UX improvements:
- After receiving some feedback from steemit users we have removed upper limit in sign up form so now you can also login with you password as well as a private posting key.
- You can now copy paste tags from your steemit posts.
- Pending Payout is now showing up in a more orderly way.
- Guest Users can now see Pending Payout values.
- Profile type "Other" can no longer upload photos as it was intended from the very beginning. Users with the profile type "Other" can still comment on the images and receive curation rewards and rewards for the comments.
- Increased the size of right photo upload tab in order to make writing description and comments easier.
We have also added commenting functionality:
- Added shared comments from Steem blockchain for accounts that are connected with steemit.
- Comments can be upvoted.
- You can see the full list of people who have upvoted your photo.
- Title and description are now correctly displayed above the comments.
Number of other smaller bug fixes and performance improvements.
Big thanks for all the feedback and your patience during the transition period.
