The immediate catalyst was dissatisfaction with Steemit. There was so much potential but it was wasted, and then the realization came that we only looked at Steemit because we were dissatisfied with the other networks as well.

Our whole stack implements P2P technology natively:

WebRTC

Real-time
Voice
Video
Text
File Transfers
WebTorrent
Streaming-to-DOM
Text
Video
Audio
SyncThing
Replication

Maybe the biggest factor driving our choice to use a Blockchain was the Tendermint Blockchain toolkit and Tendermint's amazing team

there is so much a competing network must do its insane...

  • realtime chat across various platforms
  • easily switch friend networks
  • get small businesses in

the story is never ending... i think steemit so far has the biggest chance
because it creates valuable articles. the problem with most startup platforms is they are technical. but social networks are not for techs they are for the common folk.. so you cannot make them complicated
