Streemian.com and a few other steemy apps were down because of this change to the jussi endpoint.

But REJOICE because I contacted ChainSquad to share the above info, and they kindly devoted some of their valuable resources to update Streemian for the benefit of our entire community!!!

✨✨✨Streemian.com is now up and running, though in limited capacity.✨✨✨

In other news, they're looking for passionate, experienced developers - there are plenty of you here on Steemit!! Send application to [email protected].

THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU
@STREEMIAN @XEROC & @CHAINSQUAD!!!

And as a PSA, here's more info about the change from @steemitdev:

The old steemd.steemit.com endpoint will be going away on January 6, 2018. If applications are still using this endpoint when it is retired on January 6, those applications will break.

Developers must ensure that their applications are using the new api.steemit.com endpoint before January 6, in order to ensure there is no interruption in service when the old endpoint is retired.

And more from an earlier announcement:

We have created a new public jussi endpoint for third party applications to use. Jussi is our custom built caching layer, for use with steemd and other various services (such as SBDS). The jussi endpoint is available now at https://api.steemit.com. Condenser (the front-end application for steemit.com) is already using api.steemit.com today. We encourage all third party developers to begin using the new endpoint right away. 
...
What does this mean for third party developers?
For our public steemd endpoint using api.steemit.com, apps will need to speak to it through http/jsonrpc instead of websockets. The libraries we maintain will soon be updated to default to api.steemit.com instead of steemd.steemit.com, which will cover a lot of apps that don't set an endpoint and just use the default.

I'm not a developer, so I don't actually know what any of that means. But, because it affects me as a user & therefore I now have incentive to find out what's up with the steemy tools I love, just thought y'all might like to know this info too.

💛 Sara!
