I suppose That is so other users will open links in esteem rather than steemit.com.

forcing people to also have an app is not friendly to noone. Anyway, it creates an unclickable link (not even for the person with the app) so is not really useful.

Ah. That must be a bug.

Whether you post from Steemit or you post from the app, you want others to be able to be able to follow links to other posts on the Steem blockchain no matter how they use it.

However, the reliance of a single server makes Steemit a single point of failure. If I use Steemkr.com, another portal to the Steem blockchain, to read posts, and I find a link to your article on the Steem blockchain through there, I should go to that article in the same website. Don't you think? At least, most of the time.
