100% agree with @tuck-fheman, the docs aren't even close to being usable. An API is only as successful as its documentation. @ned you're right, there are 100+ apps on Steemit ... with proper documentation, that number would be 5x larger and there would be considerably more robust tools.

Essentially you're squeezing a hose and cutting off 95% of the flow of water, and then pointing at a bucket and saying "look it's full" while we're over here telling you that you could've filled up the pool by now.
