Happy to announce automatic registration and login!

You can find the links below:

Register: https://dwable.com/register

Login: https://dwable.com/login

I can't offer much incentives right now except that all early supporters and active registers will be well rewarded in the future.

The site is still relatively simple with many aspects (code and design) still needing to be completed. For example I'm still deciding on the overall format of the profile page design.

Still, any thoughts on how best to improve or spreading the word in form of organic publicity would be much appreciated.

You can Dwable me on the handle @Ben or to the official account @Dwable.

Thanks!

Nice concept and layout Smiley
Monetizing content in some way similar to Steem in a more ethical way will be win!

I agree with you but it would be really nice if it was out now or at least in beta. Hehe i'm very impatient.
I don't mind waiting till the end of the year it would be nice for chrismas haha !! So hopefully next christmas I would have made money ^^

I am almost ready to open registration to the first basic version.

I've found an issue with the most complex query that generates the home timeline. Once I get that fixed, I can move forward.

Thanks Smiley

I like this idea and I want to be part.  A quick question.  I see that you are still building the site and the system.  What if you used a pre-built social framework, like Dolphin, I only picked that because it jumped to mind, and simply add the payment system to that.  Scripts like Dolphin and the others are built ready for addons and expansion and that might mean a lot less headache for you.  

Hiya,

I started with a very simple opensource usersystem script. It's a good suggestion and I did actually look at opensource social scripts. However a-lot of them appeared very over complicated to me or were using a structure/language that I was unfamiliar with or would find hard to build/edit on. Likewise nothing was really exactly what I was looking for. Dolphin for example I would also have to spend time going through scrapping the redundant features and converting all the PHP code to fit into the new desired layout, whilst also still coding the majority of features so that they were the way I wanted them. I get what you're saying though.. there have been times I've been coding and felt like restarting and finding something already done.

On that subject I do intend to update the usersystem by back-porting a new upgraded script but I'm going to do that later. I really want to focus on features now.

Hope that answers your question.

I would like to help or take part in what ever way you need.  I saw a thread for that SteemIt site a while back and thought the concept of getting paid in BTC to microblog was great. There are sites that pay FIAT that have been around forever.  I just don't think that the Steem Team went the right track and it does not work well.  Again, I like your concept, love the idea and I am here in what ever manner you need, just PM me.

Thanks for the post and support!

I will most likely take you up on your offer in the future.

I also want to make sure any early supporters/helpers are rewarded for their efforts. I'm still working on the economics in the back of my mind (cryptocurrency/ico's/legal compliance <>/possible equity/incentivisation/inflation/supply etc) but focus is on the platform development right now Smiley

Your Project Looks good so far and I will be sure to keep an eye on it.
Wish your project good luck.

Thanks guys.

Right. I've been working away on updates the last few days.

- Added Dwable replies
- Added reply 'threads'
- Added the ability to Dwable in threads
- Added automatic scroll to Dwable selected in threads
- Added mentions to notifications (currently now likes, redwables & mentions)
- Lots CSS changes
- Other minor code changes

There are a few limits at the moment:

- You won't see the "In reply to ..." on users profile Dwables as this will be in a different section later on. You can still click on them to open the reply thread.
- The reply threads are limited to 6 Dwables above and below the selected Dwable. I'm working on adding a loading script so that it loads more on scroll seamlessly.
- The notifications page will show the last 20 notifications. This also needs a loading script.

I've spoken to several interested parties recently who have reached out and offered to help.

Thanks Smiley

I've contacted several media outlets today as part of very early, promotional efforts.

Ideally I'd like to stay focused on the development of the site.

Therefore I am asking if anyone with good management & marketing skills would like to join the team please message me.

The role would primarily be to handle press/marketing enquiries. You would be the first person to join the team.

Rewards include a significant share in any cryptocurrency or equity release in the future.

Having an impeccable reputation is an necessity.

Thanks Smiley

I have also added an email subscribe field to the Dwable homepage.

Please subscribe in order to get the latest details (good to see some people already using it!).

It would seem I have some competition but I'm glad others are also trying similar things:

http://regated.com/2016/08/exclusive-twitter-alternative-gab-open-beta-test-monday-the_donald-readers/


Albeit Dwable plans to do a-lot more than enable free speech (trust me) Wink

I've started development on replies and mentions. This is a big section so may take some time but I'm trying to speed things up.

After that's all done and I've polished off the current features, I intend to open registration (depending on whether I switch out or upgrade the current usersystem for security reasons).

As always I welcome any comments on direction/features/support.

Thanks!

Evening all,

I have completed the notifications page for Likes and Redwables!

It's currently not linked in the header so they can be viewed when logged into the demo at: https://dwable.com/notifications

I had a good think about the structure to use for the notifications and came up with the following:

- It will bunch all of your Likes/Redwables for any particular Dwable into one 24 hour period (specifically a day in UNIX) notification.
- After that day has passed, all new Likes/Redwables shall be in a separate notification.
- I decided that if you Like/Redwable a Dwable of your own it will not be included in the notification stream.
- If you're still confused just ask.

Currently I have only integrated historic scroll search through notifications. Therefore you will need to reload the page to see new notifications. Once all the different notification groups have been identified and coded in I will add the automatic update.

P.S the grey bar at the top is just a placeholder for now. In the future I intend to use it as a toggle between different notification type feeds.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Updates:

I was working on the notifications and realised it would be easier if users already had profile pictures.

So now..

- While editing profile users can now upload profile pictures seamlessly without refresh.
- The upload is automatically cropped to the correct 1:1 ratio.
- Before upload is completed users can use a cropping tool to edit their photo.

I've still got to add a display pop-up/modal for when the profile picture is clicked publicly. It's on my long to-do list.

In addition:

- The top central logo has been replaced by the "D" of Dwable thumbnail. This is intended to be less intrusive and also easier to integrate into smaller display devices.

Thanks! Smiley

---------------------------------------

Further updates:

- Applied new profile images accross all feeds and views.

Nice six-letter neologism, bud. And nabbing the TLD .com to boot.

My current non-crypto project is a 5-letter neologism, also nabbing the .com.

Just briefly visited your site and it looks good. I'll spend more time on it later, bud.

Glad you liked it.

Best of luck with your own thing.

I've started work on a notifications page with the aim of releasing notifications for both likes and redwables initially.

Will update when finished Smiley

Updates:

- Finally finished the pop-up Dwable window and applied it to all pages.

I was initially using a pre-written jQuery script but decided to re-code it myself to simplify it.

I also ran into a-lot of unexpected issues a-long the way which needed to be fixed (e.g. not to pop-up when like/redwable/text is clicked/highlighted & stop from loading content when clicked off and another Dwable clicked +more)

- The pop-up should also change the URL to https://dwable.com/status/12345

When you click off it will go back to /home or /userprofile.

Please note actual Dwable status pages haven't been developed yet so visiting https://dwable.com/status/12345 will result in a 404 error.
