As a reminder, BeBlurt app is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) working on computer (through the web browser) as well as on smartphone or tablet (can be installed by the web browser) including a Blurt frontend and different elements (witnesses, user dashboard...). For more info on BeBlurt app on smartphone (android/IOS) I invite you to read this post.
Today I propose that we take a closer look at the progress of the BeBlurt app . We will examine various aspects of the app, including its curation process, voting power, how widely it has been adopted, how it is being used, and what updates are planned for the future. This will give us a comprehensive understanding of the app's current state and where it is headed in the future.
Power Up
For the third consecutive month, the @beblurt account has carried out a significant Power Up through the purchase of BLURT on the Probit exchange. This has allowed the account to surpass 900,000 BLURT POWER 🎉 this month, as can be seen on the account's user dashboard within the app.
My witness account @nalexadre has, in turn, surpassed 440,000 BLURT Power this month, bringing the total combined voting power to 1,340,000 BLURT Power.
Manual Curation
The @beblurt account engages in 100% manual curation, with the number of daily posts remaining manageable within an acceptable time frame through the BeBlurt app, capable of displaying 7 posts per line and 4 lines on my 34-inch Mi Curved Gaming screen.
The curation is done by scrolling through the posts ordered by creation date. Factors taken into consideration when deciding to vote on a post and the percentage of the vote include the content of the post, the number of posts made per week, the number of comments made by the author, the responses to comments left on previous posts, the amount of the post at the time of consultation, the vote of a curation group, etc...
It's worth noting that there has been a noticeable increase this month in the number of comments made by both accounts.
SEO & Traffic
The Google indexing of the app is still ongoing, but it is starting to produce results and attract its first visitors, although there is still much work to be done in this area.
The same goes for the viewing and visitor count of the app, which has consistently shown positive growth, as indicated in the graph below obtained from the local instance of the Plausible app.
With a good geographical diversity, touching all continents and an interesting distribution between computers (47% desktop and 16% laptop) and smartphones (34%, with 29% Android and 8% iOS).
Adoption
A big thank you to all the authors using BeBlurt app to make their posts, 128 posts were made through the app this month, compared to 85 last month. Similarly, 146 comments were made there compared to 99 last month.
Next update
The next major update, which will come in the coming days, will include a much-anticipated feature, the scheduling of posts (currently in testing phase) as well as the ability to save/load drafts remotely, allowing one to start a post on one device and continue it on another.
A basic search function is planned to be included in the update if it is completed on time. The search feature will allow users to easily search for content & accounts within the application and find what they are looking for more efficiently.
Last word
That will be all for today. If you want to support the BeBlurt app then a vote on the Witness @nalexadre is welcome ;)
Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments if you use the BeBlurt application to post, respond to posts, or curate. Also, don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any.
Have Fun on Blurt with BeBlurt
@beblurt :)
