Thanks for posting this! To elaborate a bit more on this, the team has indeed announced the platform is now officially in Open Beta.
There is no full length official article in English about what this entails, so here is a brief explanation from me:
In the open beta period, a total of 12 new features will be added to the platform in order to expand the test scope. The underlying motive for these functions
are to make the platform more open to everyone, instead of catering to the community that has been around since the ICO and consists of crypto/blockchain enthusiasts (this last part is an assumption made by me personally).
1. Design overhaul (Done)
2. No more category restrictions (Done)
3. A token bonus system based on amount of tokens held in the platform's wallet
4. Alis platform wallet (ability to send and receive from and to the platform)
5. Text editor update
6. Account statistics (how many tokens you earned and by what means and which article, etc.)
7. Tutorial for new users (upon first login a tour of the platform)
8. Article ranking based on amount of tips received (as an addition to the other filters already existing)
9. OAuth for developers
10. Update of the Login/Register process
11. Ability to create articles that need to be payed for in order to read
12. Intricate referral program
