Steemchat - A Snapchat clone with a STEEM backbone

Yesterday was my first day spending much of my time on Steemit. I introduced myself, poked around the website and block explorer, curated some content, and set up a miner. It was a lot of fun, and I came across some truly interesting content that was satisfying to read. I am hooked.

One question I had yesterday was, what mobile apps are available, if any? I couldn't find any after searching around. I figure someone is working on something, it's just in stealth mode.

I continued to poke around and come across some tools by @xeroc (which I have not used yet, but I'm sure are excellent), piston and streemian. The Streemian concept seems like a great way to get content producers involved with Steemit, without disrupting their current workflow of publishing their content elsewhere. Many creators have very particular workflows, or little extra time to play with new tools. Take George R. Martin, who only writes his books on WordStar for DOS:

This got me to thinking, is there any merit is making a Snapchat-like clone that would auto-post to Steem with a specific tag? Personally, I am not a Snapchat user. I have had it in the past, and actually got rid of it because I found it annoying, mostly due to the generally low quality of content I perceived. Once in while, there would be something really excellent, but of course it was only maybe 20 seconds long, and it's not like you can really develop the depth of content found on Steemit in that short amount of time. On the other hand, one of the pluses of snapchat's UI is that it already has a voting mechanism built in, which would correlate to upvoting in Steem. 

Talking to friends and acquaintances that use Snapchat, they actually have conversations using it (this is very inefficient if you ask me). There is a ton of people out there who love using it. What would the analogous app for Steem look like? Something tells me if it was closer to Snapchat, there would be a need for a built in "quality" threshold that only posts the content perceived as best into Steem, to prevent spamming. 

Perhaps this service would be better suited if it were more of a livestream like Periscope? Maybe a YouTube competitor that simply handles video storage and links the content into steem, in a more seamless manner?

For the current Steemit users, nobody seems to be having issues with cross-posting from YouTube, so that's probably not the market here. I guess what I'm really wondering is, do any of you Steemians perceive value from the implementation of a livestreaming (livesteeming?) app to serve the masses?

What problems or caveats might there be to such a service? Please respond with your thoughts and ideas.
