No argument from me there, except it's been over a year and one hasn't been implemented yet. However, if you'd be more comfortable with it, you can try using @itchykitten's Chrome Extension instead, or just wait 'til STEEMIT releases something.

I'm just trying to give people an option in the meantime, fully open-sourced in an easy-to-follow script so they can be comfortable with it. If you have any better ideas beyond that, I'm open to suggestions! :)
