Have you heard about Steempeak? This is a new and fresh alternative frontend reader for the Steemblockchain, similar to Busy.org or Steemit itself. The content is the same, the features are richer and the design nice and modern.
Amazing Design
Things move so fast on Steem. I barely had the chance to look at Steempeak yet and had to learn that there is already an off-spring called Peakmonsters, a market and explorer for the popular 
Feature-Rich Editor
The Post Editor features side-by-side view that actually feels proper. Beneficiaries for the post payout are super easy to add and post templates and scheduling for posts are default features as well. Steempeak does not take any beneficiary rewards, I think, but offers a favorite feature for popular beneficiaries where they include themselves. I have used that option and 5% of this post will go to 
Impressive Grid View
The feed view and the blog view have grid and single view, just like on Steemit. However, the grid view looks amazing and even offers to watch youtube and dtube videos directly from the feed without leaving it. In the settings you can even activate an image slider for the post previews but I kept that deactivated as it looks a bit odd. Additionally, you can find a filter function on the feed to filter all resteems out.
Notifications
The notifications from Steempeak are the best on any Steem platform yet because they offer a special notification settings to filter them. You can filter for votes, replies, transfers and rewards. I have only left the replies on as the rest just clutters my notification window. I love this!
Dashboard
The Dashboard is particularly interesting as it offers a set of various data in chart form and lets you load more and more data into them. You get infos like author and curation rewards, account growth, incoming and outgoing votes as well as the number of posts and replies. This is very inspirational for my own 1UP project where I want to have nice and clean data as well.
Conclusion
Steempeak is amazing and exactly what we were waiting for Steemit to become. I will certainly use Steempeak as my deafult frontend reader for Steem and make use of the new features that you cannot find on Steemit. I am excited to see more from the team as I feel this is just the beginning.
