@maxabit, this is beyond a post! This is a tutorial! I really appreciate all the information your delivered here, and I think @buildawhale is an interesting project. I am curious to see how it develops... it is reassuring to hear the financial aspect won't inffluence the curation. It is disheartening having good content lost in the 'waterfall' that is the 'new feed' as you put it. Initiatives like this are precisely what keeps the creative Steemians out there going!
