Let's introduce the power of STEEM to the 74+ million users of Wordpress!
Update 6/14 - this cannot be completed until there is a public API which is not currently in place. Feel free to remove your votes until there is more information, however, this project will continue once one is available.
Description
Currently there are over 74 million websites built on the Wordpress platform, including many blogs where writers are not being rewarded for their content. In order to expand the reach of STEEM, a Wordpress plugin should be created that allows users to easily integrate the STEEM blockchain into their blog. This will allow users to be rewarded for their content, while providing additional content and visibility to STEEM.
Developer Requirements
- Understanding of Wordpress usage and creation/management of Wordpress plugins
- Understanding of STEEM blockchain and API
- Desire to provide regular support and maintenance
Scope
Plugin must have the ability to perform the following actions at a minimum:
- Allows for both posting and mirroring of blockchain blogs
- Upon publishing, the post should be immediately sent to the blockchain and a vote initiated from the poster's account
- Comments, at a minimum, should be viewable
If there is additional functionality you feel should be added, please include this information in your proposal. I am all for delivering frequent, small and impactful updates!
Proposal
Your proposal should include:
- Mockup of propose visual design
- Details of functionality
- Information on any required hardware
- Past experience and references to prior work
- Estimated completion time
- Requested compensation in STEEM
Proposals must be posted on the blockchain as a comment to the main RFP request. Cutoff for submission is Sunday, May 15 12:00 UTC. A decision will be made no later than Sunday, May 22 12:00 UTC.
Compensation
Funding will be provided by the votes from this post, as well as powering down of my witness ‘nextgencrypto’. Compensation will be provided in STEEM after the completion and review of code.
Modification of scope is acceptable, and must be accompanied by a proposal. Under no circumstances will compensation be provided in advance of work being completed and reviewed by a mutually agreed upon third party.
The Future
My hope is that by supporting this project I am able to prove my long-term commitment to supporting the STEEM ecosystem. As long as I am able to remain a voted witness and provide funding, I will continue to do so for future enhancements and support of the STEEM Wordpress plugin.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss, please feel free to comment or message me on Slack.
Thank you,
