Since I'm probably a stranger to anyone outside of the Musing.io community, I think it makes sense to introduce myself now. My name's Jon and I'm a software engineer and a designer. I'm also the founder of Musing.io and have spent the last 6 months dedicated, full-time, to one thing, and that has been the development and growth of Musing. I write the code and design the product. The rest of my team includes a team of really dedicated community managers who help us curate content on Musing. I believe we have some of the highest quality content in the entire Steem space because of them.

Stats

If you haven't heard of Musing yet, we are a decentralized question and answer platform based on Steem. That means you can earn Steem just by insightfully asking or answering questions. Since going live, there has been over 50,000 questions and answers posted on our app. I can also say that we've had over 300,000 page views to date. It's baffling to think about how far we came and how much activity has gone on since our launch.

News

Unfortunately, there are some things I can't talk about yet, but I'm in the process of talking to some people, unrelated to the Steemit community, who have the potential to change everything about what we're doing. I have dreams of building out a team of engineers and designers who can completely transform Musing today. If everything goes well, we will have access to investors, a network of successful individuals, and the world's best advice. I've never been more excited, and admittedly nervous, about anything else in my life, and I can guarantee that I'm working my hardest to make really big things happen for everyone on this blockchain.

In addition to this, our @musing account just received a delegation of 1mm SP. Every drop of it will go to our users.

Product Upgrades

The most improvement has been in Google SEO. Our views for different Musing Q&A posts today are 10x what they were just a month ago. We're growing at a tremendous rate, and if you post on Musing today, there's a decent chance someone completely unrelated to our community will find your content on Google.

I added recommended posts as a sidebar as well to help users discover new content. I also included social share buttons so that users can share to their Twitter or Facebook accounts.

Values

Steem has adopted the concept in which “everyone’s meaningful contribution to the community should be recognized for the value it adds”. By embracing this ideal, Musing has cultivated a community that adds important core values; Knowledge, human interaction, and growth through creative thinking. Thus, bringing it back to our roots without sacrificing innovation and progress. Building a community on these principles contributes to the belief that sharing information is the quintessential essence of being human. This way, a base is set for Musers to pave their own path to improvement and have their efforts recognized while picking up incentives on the way.

Through creative thinking and producing thought provoking content, users starting with nothing, have already made names for themselves. Recognized for their efforts and quality content, they are now reaping the rewards.
