Symbiont{s} | Ecosynthesizer | Major Upgrade (Create Posts, Viewer, WhaleVault)

Greetings,

As per what our emblematic statement says, "Thriving Through a Symbiotic Equilibrium", we are against any commensalism or amensalism relationship with an ecosystem system that we are benefiting from. Even though we are currently restricted to run a witness node for unfortunate political reasons, we will always try our best to accommodate the Blurt community.

So without further ado, we are more than happy to finally announce that Blurt users can now create and push posts directly on the Ecosynthesizer. The tool is pretty straightforward (WhaleVault) and also provides the choice for users to define beneficiaries in addition to the reward split type. The tool can be accessed directly by clicking on the Create button on the posts page. A direct link to the post creation page can be found here.

In mid-development, we faced an issue related to image hosting. We also did not want to host the images since the goal of Ecosynthesizer at the moment is more oriented toward providing tools and easy access to data than it being a social blogging platform. That being said, users can still add images hosted on the world wide web without any real issues, and we are already thinking about other solutions that were presented to us, such as hosting the images directly on some service providers such as Imgur. We thought a bit about using IPFS, but it will always come to the same since the files will need to be pinned. Another solution is to host the images directly on the server of the foundation, this is still in work but will likely be the final solution if things go as intended.

One other thing to mention is that the parser is not fully compatible with the current version of the Condenser. Our initial goal was to keep things simple in order to ensure that all posts pushed through the tool look good on other platforms like blurt.blog, hence the simplicity. But overall, we think that users should not face any issues.

The Symbionts Team,
