News on dpoll, plans, and the roadmap

<h4>Postmortem <hr /> <p dir="auto">After ten days of the initial release of <a href="https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@emrebeyler/introducing-dpoll-a-poll-app-on-the-top-of-steem-blockchain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">dpoll, these are the stats for the usage so far: <div class="table-responsive"><table> <thead> <tr><th>Number of Polls<th>Number of Answers<th>Number of Users <tbody> <tr><td>96<td>640<td>188 <hr /> <p dir="auto">With a simple proof of concept, I can call this as a success. Thanks, everyone trying the app. <h4>Winning the Utopian hackathon <hr /> <p dir="auto">The project won the grand prize on <a href="https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@utopian-io/utopian-weekly-the-utopian-hackathon-winners" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Utopian hackathon. This was my 3rd hackathon as a developer. I made the second place on <a href="https://packathon.pyninjas.com/projects/11" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Packathon before, but winning the competition is much better. Thanks to organizers and initiative. I can't wait for the next one. <p dir="auto"><span>Special thanks to <a href="/@ms10398">@ms10398, the hero of the dpoll. Hackathon was in place in a weekday, therefore I couldn't use all the hours since I was working at the office at my day job. <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeEoE72fMt6bEvgYHrcsrkFiKHJjokq9EUxbdfFbZe3rF/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-01%20at%209.45.31%20PM.png" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeEoE72fMt6bEvgYHrcsrkFiKHJjokq9EUxbdfFbZe3rF/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-01%20at%209.45.31%20PM.png 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeEoE72fMt6bEvgYHrcsrkFiKHJjokq9EUxbdfFbZe3rF/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-01%20at%209.45.31%20PM.png 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><span><a href="/@ms10398">@ms10398's this comment kept me going. Also, huge props to <a href="/@oups">@oups for quickly coming up (like in 5 mins) with a great logo. <h4>What's next? <hr /> <p dir="auto"><em>A rewrite on Javascript <p dir="auto">This will help in making the app truly decentralized. Also, even though, I don't store Steemconnect tokens in any database, they're stored on the HTTP-Only cookies (Signed with a SECRET key.) and transact with the Steemconnect in the server side. When everything becomes client-side only, it will be better for users to trust the app. I have examined a couple of JS libraries and started the rewrite with vue.js. <p dir="auto"><em>Revamping the interface <p dir="auto">I know, it doesn't look good. I need help on that. Will try my chances on Utopian tasks-requests category. <p dir="auto"><em>Voting by commenting in other interfaces <p dir="auto">That will need a special <em>vote identifier in the comment body. Example: <pre><code>My answer: B <comment on the why B is selected> <p dir="auto"><em>Editing polls <p dir="auto">It's not possible at the moment. Even though you can edit the post in Steemit, it will not be reflected to dpoll interface at the moment. <p dir="auto"><em>Ability to write thoughts into polls and votes <p dir="auto">A simple question or vote sometimes doesn't make any sense. The user might need to express their feelings about it. <p dir="auto"><em>A live image bundled into the post about the results <p dir="auto">If Steemitimages don't cache the images, this is technically possible. A cool bar about the results will be shown on the poll posts regardless of the interface(Busy, Steemit, etc.) used. <h4>Curation? <hr /> <p dir="auto">Got a couple of questions about it. The answer is a <strong>no. I don't think we will have any curation initiative rewarding good polls. <h4>Ideas & Community & Development <hr /> <p dir="auto">You can use <a href="https://discord.gg/ZcV8SGr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">official dpoll discord channel to express your ideas and give feedback.
