How about Having Separated App for Prediction Market?

[abit]

Although Bitshares 2.0 already has prediction market backend, its frontend should be more developed.

We can have "Prediction Market" tab in the current wallet. But I think it would be much better to additionally have separated, simple, and light application only for prediction market. Some unrelated functions (voting, permission, explorer, trading, etc.) can be removed and the app only has transfer and prediction market functions.

What do you think?

Isn't that something to service providers who want to make a business out of Prediction Markets?

I question this too.  For example, why does the community pay for GUI development (in openledger I presume) but ccedk receive all the referral income?

ccedk doesn't receive all the referral income. Anyone can host a wallet and set up a referral system.

The community pays for the general wallet development, but anyone is welcome to take the general wallet and offer a customized version (or offer their customizations back to the general wallet if they want to share the changes and the community finds them acceptable). Both of these use cases are occurring, from what I've heard.

It's a bit off topic, but OpenLedger.info is currently the only "official" one with a link from https://bitshares.org/. To be fair, at least we need to list all alternatives on our website and/or forum, like https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet.

By the way, our "paid" GUI development coordinator, @wmbutler, is much less active these days. See https://github.com/wmbutler?tab=activity. Should we push him a little, or vote him down?

That will prevent me from having to use a different app if I feel like using a prediction market.

I think it should be developed in the main wallet too. Even if simple. Then businesses interested in offering prediction market services would make their own interfaces for that specific end. At least that's how I see it.

Yup this is what I'm thinking

Same here.

Yes. Obviously if anyone wants to build a separate predictions app, they can and I think that should be the path forward.  Im sure we'll see some simple examples of this soon, seems to be quite a few messing around. 

Ideally BitShares "official" is simply the core platform and reference interface.  I'd like to see just a blank slate, extensible with things like dashboards, explorers, and markets etc.  More modular.

Maybe that's essentially what we have, just not easily personalized.

I think its a great Idea Clayop.  I would love to see a bunch of different wallets catering to different markets.  I would still like to see prediction market functionality in the core wallet.  That will prevent me from having to use a different app if I feel like using a prediction market.
