## Preface
Hello, everyone @princekelly is, here again, writing to my esteem readers on my interactions with projects on the Steem Blockchain.
Am filled with excitement, writing about this new project I discovered on the Steem Blockchain. Its packed with so many features that make me wonder why it took this long to create such a fantastic project. All the features on this project work flawlessly, thumbs up to the team.
This article would, however, be my most tasking blog series ever, but also the most exciting project I have blogged about on the Steem Blockchain. Tasking in the terms, of delivering my experience of it’s watering features accordingly to you my beloved readers without getting too excited.
The Steem Blockchain is a vast ecosystem, developed by [Steem, Inc](https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Steemit,_Inc) which encourage developers to harness the limitless possibilities of the Steem Blockchain, by building a new and exciting platform based on the Steem Blockchain. I have come across a large number of projects, since the launch of [Steemit blog](https://steemit.com) on the Steem Blockchain. Different projects with varying qualities, unfortunately, some fantastic projects were abandoned by their developers for various reasons, which I won’t be discussing here.
The [Steemit.com](https://steemit.com/) user interface seems quite rigid to me, which makes Steemains depend on many third-party applications to enhance their blogging experience on the [Steemit.com blog](https://steemit.com/). Which brings me to write about the new front end on the Steem Blockchain, **[Steempeak](https://steempeak.com/)**.
<br>
</br>

## What is Steempeak
Steempeak is a new blog site on the Steem Blockchain with an enhanced front end, aim at creating a better blogging experience for users on the Steem Blockchain. There are various popular blog sites like [busy.org](https://busy.org/) and [Steemit](https://steemit.com) which offer the same blogging service like SteemPeak, but SteemPeak offers much more regarding users friendly features. SteemPeak comes with advanced features that help enhance the blogging experience on the Steem Blockchain.
SteemPeak was announced three months ago by the public relation officer.
Meet the SteemPeak team
The team comprises of four main members:
1.    Lead developer: Sergio Satorelli, a professional developer based in Italy, with over twelve years experience on developing web apps and enterprise business software. Known as @asgarth on the Steem Blockchain.
2.    Lead designer: The head designer for the project is @dmytrokorol, from Ukraine. A professional photographer and designer with over 11 years experience as a manager in his Ukraine based graphic design studio.
3.    SteemPeak tester and Pr manager: @jarvie, a full-time photographer based in the United States, with over ten years experience in working and commissioning of new websites.
4.  Discord Manager: @r00sj3, making sure things go well and handle customer's requests.
 @r00sj3 would be presenting the project at the forthcoming **Steemfest**
The first three individuals have one skill in common, **photography**. They are from different countries but were connected on Steemit through the @photogames, with different individualistic skills which have to be helpful in developing the project to its present state. Having some experience on how the Steem Blockchain works, decides to come together and achieve a goal to help new and existing Steemians enhance their blogging experience with little or no *third-party apps*.

## How Steempeak tends to be better
The SteemPeak team has created a [discord](https://discord.gg/VwbWMdf)
 channel, with a suggestion room, for users to suggest features and how best they want it implemented. I feel this is an excellent way of keeping in touch with users and understand how they interact with the project features and help SteemPeak make more intuitive improvements when compared to other projects.

## Values SteemPeak brings to the Steem Blockchain
I love the favorite and bookmark features. This bookmark option has helped me a lot in keeping relevant posts, and users close. My browser is full of bookmarked articles, which sometimes get missing from my bookmark page. As a contributor on [Utopian](https://join.utopian.io/#about), I can easily save a community manager post, for quick reference to help improve the quality of my contributions. Many Steemians are already in love with this awesome feature and also have little or no need for third-party apps. Some third-party apps tend to do more harm than good to users. **Always use verified third-party apps**.
<br>
</br>
**What are third party apps/software?**
These are software, developed to add more value/features to another app. An example is the use of another camera app on your mobile device, in place of the stock camera app.
**Few examples of third-party apps on the Steem Blockchain**
* Steem widgets.
* SteemitX
* Steem Writer
* Steemplus
[And more](http://steemtools.com/).
I am, however not against the use of third-party apps, they add significant value and all. But, I see some as unnecessary and should be integrated into the [Steemit](https://steemit.com) blog. Using third-party apps can be quite tasking to new users, and might get discouraged from searching for third-party apps and abandon the [Steemit](https://steemit.com) blogging platform. But with the SteemPeak frontend, users need little or no guidance exploring the possibilities of the Steem Blockchain. 
My journey on the Steem Blockchain started around August last year; the Steem Blockchain is a revolution regarding social blogging and the cryptocurrency world. But lacks some basic features to boost users experience, this features are however available via the [Steempeak.com](https://steempeak.com/) frontend.

*****************************************************************

## Features offered by SteemPeak over other blogging apps on the Steem Blockchain
SteemPeak has been able to integrate a lot of exciting features in just less than four months on the Steem Blockchain.

1.	<div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVJmHix7iyFtDheHBQ75JzdjCKSkzNojZbA9WUs4tAYqB/Sp10.png</div>Drafts: Safe and organize unfinished post automatically. This eliminates the need for external editors, which writers use in storing their unfinished posts. **Also available on draft is *scheduling*, where you set when a draft should be automatically broadcasted.**

2.	<div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZW6RZf4Mf1osYk3oUxtn3425hqkjvhp3PFRn4tv4p1wL/Sp11.png</div> Multi-account management: Switch in between your Steemit accounts easily, with just one click. Awesome right?. Click the drop-down menu at the top right of your page, locate the *switch user* option.
3.	Night mode: This helps protect the user’s eyes, by adjusting the site’s brightness to suit the environment.
4.	<div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXzwZmoxsBUbXgPiEiXQpBoM99kT85qTTMTdcKnbMYALt/Sp13.png</div>  Bookmark posts: I can bookmark important articles on the Steem Blockchain for future reference. Click on the bookmark option available at the top of the post. You can click on the drop-down menu at the top right and select *bookmarks*.
5.	Save users: I save my favorite blogger and get access to his blog easily. With this option, I have easy and quick access to my favorite blogger.
6.	Filter re-steem: I can filter out re-steems on my blog and other users blog. Click on the *funnel icon* at the dashboard in the user's blog, this will leave you with posts made by the user. Click again to show re-steems by the user.
7.	Picture Slideshow: I use this option to view all pictures in a post, more efficiently. This saves time.
 
8.	Templates: I can create specific templates for my personal posting use.
9.	Watch videos from the feed: I can watch videos from posts in the feed section, without opening the post.
10.	Filter wallet information: You can filter out unnecessary information in your wallet. 
11.	View full post in the feed: Full posts can be seen in feeds without clicking on the post. With this tool, I can read the full post even from the feed, without actually opening the post.
12.	Action queue: This tool helps users vote and comment as many times as possible without the error message, *wait for twenty seconds*. I don't really use this, but it's a cool feature.
13.	Auto markdown tools: Users can easily use markdown tools without knowing the codes.
14.	A photography user portfolio: This allows users to see all pictures you have uploaded to your blogging site.
15.	Grid view: Users can view feeds or topics in grid mode, unlike the default list mode on [Steemit](https://stemmit.com).
16.	Notification: Users get notified about upvotes, replies, transfers, and reward activities on their account.
17.	Statistical dashboard: With this feature, I can check my account stats in a beautiful graphical format. Looks beautiful and informative at first glance.<center>![Sp12.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/princekelly/k5K6QG6o-Sp12.png)</center>

*****************************************************************
## Conclusion 
With [Steempeak](https://steempeak.com/), I can perform the following actions with ease, without any third party app.
•    I can make many drafts and templates.
•    Check statistical information.
•    Get upvotes and comments, notifications.
•    Schedule post to be broadcasted.
•    Check my stats on a statistical dashboard.
•    Switch between Steemit accounts with one button.
•    Organize my bookmarks.
•    Save important users and topics.
•    Adjust my voting weight.
•    Filter out re-steems on blogs.
•    No delay in voting or making comments.
•    Watch videos in feeds.
With all these features, new users need little or no tutorial in starting off well with quality posts, While making users less reliant on third-party apps. My best feature is still the bookmark option, which excites me and helps keep essential articles close. 
Lastly, I would suggest that the developers of Utopian-io add some of these great features to their new frontend. This features would make the site more intuitive for contributors. 
Thank you Steempeak, for adding color to my blogging life on the Steem Blockchain.

Normally, I would just copy and paste my "ineligible post" text that I keep handy on Hackmd. You may have seen it. It's the one that has the following text: "I can't help but notice that you used the Utopian-io tag on a blog post that is entirely unrelated to open source software." 

But you aren't one of the people who show up out of no where and post a completely irrelevant post. You know better. And you know Steempeak isn't open source. I love Steempeak. I use Steempeak. Steempeak is awesome. But it isn't open source.

I would guess you used the tag because you mentioned Utopian in the post, and did not intend to post it to our Blog category. If that's the case, I get it. 

Due to ineligibility, your contribution has not been evaluated.

I've bookmarked the article in Steempeak, just in case. :) But! There's couple of things I'd like to know: 
1) Where is that Discord channel? You've not linked it and a quick cursory search gives me nothing.
2) Does Steempeak not have a "Resteem" button? Like, at all? If it does, it's terribly well hidden.

Thank you. As for the resteem button, that's odd mine's missing on the desktop:
