0.000 HBD[HISTORY] Why We Are Working On TokenBB
 Have you heard about @TokenBB? It's the project me and my friend @kareniel have been working on and almost ready to bring online in its early alpha version. It will allow anyone with a one-click install to launch their own Steem-powered Wordpress forum. [Sign-up on our website to be notified about the release of alpha](tokenbb.io). I thought it would be a good idea to share the story behind TokenBB and why I believe **now** is the perfect moment for a project like this. ## First came ChainBB by @jesta @Jesta was the first one to play with the idea of a forum-like user experience on the Steem blockchain. It was working quite well and definitely changed the way people interacted with content. I was not a super fan of the design where it seemed that everything was too big and bulky but the idea still stuck with me. About 5 months ago, he decided [to turn off chainbb service and concentrate on other things](https://steemit.com/chainbb/@jesta/chainbb-com-going-offline). ## Then came SteemPress by @fredrikaa and @howo @SteemPress remains one of my favorite project on the Steem blockchain and I was worried that they would take @TokenBB as a competitor but after talking we realized that there wasn't much overlap between our two project. They decided to tackle the Wordpress market. Wordpress represent 1/3 of all websites on the internet which are mostly blogs. The goal of SteemPress is: >to see all bloggers be empowered by the Steem blockchain to monetize content and reach new audiences. When we combined those 2 ideas(jesta's forum UI and SteemPress Wordpress integration idea), we saw a tremendous potential for all sorts of people to launch their own community on their own website and give them control over what appears and what doesn't on their own internet property. ## Why TokenBB, Why Now? I believe we are right at the cusp of when the Steem blockchain can push for integration to the internet at large. I see a future where Steem is ubiquitous at all levels of the content internet. Pushing integration with services like Wordpress is essential to grow the number of users and increase the number of sign-ups. #### HF20 For now, all sign-ups will have to go through the Steemit.com faucet and wait however long it takes to get approved. With HF20, each dapps will be able to sign-in their own users right from their own website. #### Hivemind Hivemind will allow for communities to be formed, give permission, set arbitrary rewards, etc. We've decided to move forward without hivemind since we can do all of those in a "centralized" matter using Wordpress but we've model the schema so that we could easily migrate to it when it goes online. #### SMTs Ultimately, SMTs are the future of the Steem Blockchain and will allow for each community to have their own token if they want to, launch ICOs, airdrop on other communities, etc. Once alpha is launched, we are very much looking for your input and discussion about how we should go about implementing SMTs. ## Conclusion If you haven't signed up to be notified, we highly recommend that you do so right now by visiting https://tokenbb.io - Feel free to comment all of your suggestions, questions, and ideas related to this project. We are really excited about its future.
