SteemPress will be open source soon enough! I plan on taking out all the phalcon components I have (since most people won't be able to install it) and adding in replacement parts that everyone can run. So you'll be more than welcome to help with that! It'll be great when someone can just drop it on their server, configure the username(s) and tag(s) to watch, and have an instant blog of content on their domain.

Thanks again for building some awesome tooling for this blockchain. In a recent (somewhat negative) coindesk article, there was mention of needing to bootstrap the developer community, something most altcoins struggle with.

You're welcome :)

And I agree, it's hard to bootstrap a developer community, but steem seems to be doing it right. I've build a couple blockchain explorer and other stat tools for now defunct coins in the past and never really felt like I was a part of anything. With steemit, it's easy to feel a part of it, as long as you're contributing content, ideas or projects.
