Well, we did it. It's been a lot of work (and more to come) but tonight we launched the promo-steem beta website.
You can find the website at https://promo-steem.com
Now this isn't fully functional yet. We want it to have a consultation period before we do the really heavy techie stuff, and start building in a load of brilliant functionality. And already we are getting excellent feedback (just a couple of hours after launch).
All promo-steem updates will come from our new central account 
. If you haven't already, please go check out the account, and FOLLOW and RESTEEM the launch if you wouldn't mind. Lets get every Steemer aware of it, especially the whales who we hope will support it (It's good for them too!)
So, dear followers, if you haven't yet been to have a look, please go and have a look around. We want your feedback, thoughts, insights. We know it's mostly in COMING SOON mode and this is quite deliberate. It is our intention that this is a community driven portal, and we wanted to give the community the chance to comment before we go further, as we believe the community knows better than just the small team that's put this together.
CALL FOR TECHIES TO HELP ME
So, as lead techie on promo-steem.com (in fact, basically it's me at the moment), I would now like to find my own small team to collaborate with and help me make it go from a beta to a brilliant, slick as fuck model, which has all the functionality the promoters from around the world need. There is too much to do for me to make it as brilliant as it can be, and my skills are better in some areas than others (for example, website design is not really my forte, as many of my hardcore designer friends have told me before).
I also work best when I've got a group of people around me, who aren't afraid to speak up, and put ideas out. We at promo-steem have literally spent months planning and talking about this, and getting our message across. It doesn't happen all at once, and many different minds are required to consolidate a really clear message that is attractive to the community at large. The same is true for the tech. And I want to build a great dev team to work with me on making #promo-steem a top trending tag.
Therefore, I'm now asking people in the community who want to help, and who have the skills, to put themselves forward to helping me further make it excellent. I am focussed purely on making it work at this stage, so I personally am looking for:
- Designers (who can make it look and feel really slick)
- Blockchain developers (who can help me to integrate all the moving parts, as well as reviewing code, security etc)
- Web marketing experts (who can help me to do things I probably don't even know about in terms of getting visibility)
- Python programmers (who can help me make some really fucking clever functions that we haven't even thought of yet)
I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who can assist in these areas. We expect promo-steem to be one of the biggest movements on the STEEM blockchain, and this is a massive opportunity to grow an amazing, collaborative team.
If you are keen to talk more about it, please do hit me up on the promo-steem discord (invite link here)
Many thanks, and much appreciated for all your support over the last few weeks. We have come a long way, and there's a lot more to do, but with the right supporters, ambassadors and team, #promo-steem will be formidable in helping give the STEEM blockchain the recognition it deserves as the NUMBER ONE BLOCKCHAIN ON THE PLANET (which it is for so many reasons)
