While still not quite perfect, I spent the better part of tonight fixing up feeds using your page specifically as a model. Feeds are more scalable, work in more diverse situations, and are a bit faster, but there is always improvement to be done!

Thanks again for the feedback!

edit: It looks like for now feeds with lots of tags/authors cause a memory leak and may not work quite right, but this is a current limitation with SteemJS. I will add that to the list of SteemJS items if I can or else I will develop some alternative.
