@zappl So I checked out the live stream and I have to say I'm very excited by what you're doing! I do have a few questions that have me confused though if you don't mind answering them:
You say that Zappl will be tied to your Steemit account, does that literally mean that all your steempower attached to your steemit profile will be in your Zappl profile too? If I make money through upvotes on Zappl I get the benefits on steem too and vise versa?
How is it possible for Zappl, a 3rd party app, to access the steem pool and start giving out steem via upvotes?
Will the Zappl tokens have value and a function within the app or is it for external use only?
You login with the same username and password that you do on steemit. all accounts on the steem blockchain can be used on any other site that is a steem front end portal. so yes everything you have on your steem account can be accessed via zappl as well.
Using libraries that have been made by developers so we can connect to the blockchain as front end portals such as steem-js and steem connect.
The only current zappl tokens is a uia on the dex its basically an actively traded loan that zappl will be buying back. As for zappl having tokens later on its a possibility do to the community and token features coming later on to the steem blockchain. But we have not said if we will be making one or not.
Wow that's some very impressive stuff! You mentioned on the stream that the reason there was Steem stuff on there was because Zappl is in development, but will there be a way to view and post full length articles from steemit on Zappl too? Or will it be short form only? I ask because the current ESTEEM app is borderline unusable so having an alternative would be great! And will Zappl posts also be posted on Steem? Because I can imagine that could get irritating on steem having everything be cluttered up by short form updates.
Either way I'm pumped for Zappl you are doing awesome work.
@cryptoviking be good to see you over there!
glad to hear it

Zappl only plans to show posts made on zappl that current data is shown by example or posts will be between 210-250 characters long.
Will posts on Zappl also show up on steemit?
yes they will but steemit posts won't show on zappl
Okay cool, sounds great!
