Great work!
Can you share with us how Steem integration is done? Thanks!

It's actually a very simple script that fetches their webpage and scrapes the content I wish to acquire. Not as noble as running the actual client, but it works well and drains less resources for my servers.
I'd love to know more, as I'm interested in embedding my posts in my website :)
I thought so :) So you are leeching the front end instead of pulling it from the blockchain. Cool.
I wouldn't call it leeching. I have a backend that I update once an hour, so it's not reloading the data from steemit whenever someone visits the page. Besides, running the blockchain puts to much strain on my server at the moment for a simple thing like this.
OK, caching it, of course.
My thoughts exactly. You don't need the complete node only to get the content of selected posts.
Good work!
