The response to the first week of Banana Program was pretty intense, thanks to everyone who entered the first week BANANA PROGRAM challenge! As a result of this, it’s safe to say that over 70 newbies to Steem were welcomed by humans (instead of only bots).

What is Banana Program? Banana Program rewards people who do social and creative tasks. Banana Program was inspired by the Partiko app and is unofficially sponsored by the Hive account@stupid account. But BANANA PROGRAM is completely independent and not supported in any way by Partiko. BP is the brainchild of Stellabelle, and its mission can change according to whim, upon no notice.

Each week one winner will be chosen from the BANANA PROGRAM posts. The most creative post will win.

Banana Program is inspired by the fast and beautiful app for the Steem platform, Partiko app The Partiko app uses SteemConnect, so it’s safe to use. The developer of Partiko is an experienced programmer, and his name is Hive account@crypto.talk on Steem. Partiko has a discord channel, so drop in for any issues or questions: https://discordapp.com/invite/N7Et97G

Just an FYI, I am not a member of Partiko, nor am I receiving any monetary compensation. I am interested in the retention of users on Steem, and this app has a high retention rate. I feel that it’s the best app in terms of happiness because you receive points for doing things like uprooting, commenting and resteeming. I heard that these points can be converted into upvotes. Also, Partiko doesn’t take any cut of the rewards.

Cheers and Good Luck,
Stellabelle
