Hello Appics,
Thanks for this. Users really needed this; I mean feeding them with information concerning the project plans. Feeding them with hope. It keeps us alive!

As regards being part of the development process. I'd love that. Permit me to first say that I love the cross platform posting idea already.

Here are some ideas I'd like to suggest.

1. Separation of the like button from the upvote button. Some users just really want to like a post and not reward it. We can tell by how some users vote for post with just 1% of their power. Also, possibly the introduction of a downvote and dislike button. Emphasis on "and".
2. The reXAP feature. Lol. I mean a feature like the Twitter retweet that allows users share the post of others to their own followers. This feature should allow users to also be able to quote the post too - as in say something with the post as reference somewhat, just like on twitter. As regards this, quoting, the post of another user, the smart contract should be designed to reward both the author whose post was quoted and the user who quotes the content.
3. Stories and Livestream: Live tipping is not a bad idea for livestreaming. The stories aspect can just follow the normal procedures as a regular post would. By Live tipping, I mean users directly rewarding an author of a Livestream content from their liquid APX in real-time. That'd be awesome.
4. Are we talking about the Appics Chat yet? Cuz if we are there are more ideas😏😅
