I have been involved with Ono Social since the start and have closely followed its development. I have written a number of posts trying to explain some parts of the whitepaper as well as a sneak peak on the app.
Here are some of the posts that I have created for Ono:
My reason of Why | How Ono made me feel excited
Ke Xu | The Woman behind Ono
Ono DApp and its functions
I have read it white paper which you can read here to get an understanding of what Ono Social is and what is its aim.
It also does not hurt to be a pioneer in a platform
First of all, I would like to stress it again that the way I see it Ono is not going to be a competitor of Steem. Both are Social Media platforms but the market that they would attract is completely different.
There have been some people who have been very vocal in their stance that any content that promotes Ono should not be in Steemit but the way I see it is we are opening opportunities and cross-platform interaction that I see would be beneficial for both.
Now comes the exciting part! After months of waiting for the International release of Ono has been announced to be on July 15-17! This means that you can now apply for an invitation code and get a chance to be one of the first international users in the platform.
You can go to this link https://www.joinono.com/en/invite/index.html
Once you do it you will receive your code from July 15 onwards and you will be able to download the app in your Android or IOS phone. The Desktop version is still being developed.
In line with the launch, we have been doing daily Ask Me Anything sessions in the Ono English Telegram Channel. If there are things that you want to know or clarify especially in the White Paper Ono's CEO Ke Xu gives a one-hour session each day to answer all questions.
This is facilitated by the Ono Super Partners and you may direct your questions through them so as not to disrupt the flow of the session.
There have been two sessions already and if you want to browse through the questions and answers you can check it here on these links:
ONO AMA Telegram w/ Ke Xu: DAY 1 RECAP
ONO AMA Telegram w/ Ke Xu: DAY 2 RECAP
ONO AMA Telegram w/ Ke Xu: DAY 3 RECAP
I am really excited when the App launches in a few days and I get to test it as well as help build communities there.
Will I stop supporting Steem? No as I firmly believe that both will have its respective markets and people that will join.
I have found some of the people that I onboarded in Steemit that they after awhile thought they were not fit for the platform and culture so maybe they will be better in Ono.
We may also have more people from China that once they are exposed to Steemit can see how good a platform it is also so we can have more people join us here as well thus creating a more global community.
So go ahead and register for your invitation code!
