eSteem - Android v1.3.7 released, Market Place/Apps and My Drafts, My Bookmarks, My Images, other improvements

Good job! What do you have in mind for marketplace? What type of apps and what would be the integration with eSteem? It's just a place where you announce apps but you don't integrate them with eSteem? Can you elaborate on that?

Thanks!

Thank you for asking! As you see in screenshots, there is an External apps (mobile) for eSteem (mobile). And there is a Plugins, these are the type of apps or plugins that closely integrate with eSteem internal structure so that users can benefit using such apps, for example voting trail, autovote, scheduled posts, games etc. Building all this on eSteem wouldn't be efficient, but building it as plugin would make more sense and could easily scale. If you are developer and want to add/develop your plugin, we can think of the ways to revenue stream for that. Users can unlock some plugins using Market Place to purchase it, etc. These plugins will be implemented both by eSteem and by other independent developers.

Thanks! Just to note here, if you know Angularjs and Nodejs, you can easily build plugin or tools.

I wrote stuff with AngularJS, NodeJS is server-side JavaScript, afaik. What library are you using in eSteem for blockchain operations?

That's great, Yes NodeJS is server-side but you can make it so that it works on browser as well. That's what I am doing in eSteem. Using @svk's steemjs-lib and steem-rpc libraries with slight changes.

Looking really good! From a security standpoint, might it not be best for the app to suggest users enter their posting / active key, rather than their master password? I see it is an option under 'advanced', which is awesome, just ... I don't trust my phone with sensitive passwords / private keys, and probably no one should. I know this isn't an easy thing to achieve, at least from a usability standpoint, just wondering your thoughts. Again, great work! Cheers!

Thank you for your comments! This have been brought up multiple occasions and we have pin code to give user extra layer of security and of course improvements constantly being discussed. Please feel free to make a suggestions. All keys are stored locally, never sent to servers and there is no way to access it unless you have malicious app installed on your phone.

I understand that the keys are stored locally.. yes, it's the mobile phone of the masses which I do not trust the integrity of. I do not believe this is an easy problem to solve, so, don't take this as criticism in the least! Y'all are doing a great job!

I guess my suggestion, if I have one, is perhaps to reverse the order of suggested keys when you first sign into the app, just make 'active' the default suggestion. If people have made it that far, they have already created an account and should be capable of pulling their 'active' key from the 'permissions' tab in the 'wallet' page. It's a little annoying, but less annoying than losing everything.
