What is KnackSteem?

Knacksteem is an open source platform on the Steem blockchain that seeks to reward talents on a much broader scale, which eradicates partiality, and infuses transparency, on the blockchain. The initial goal of Steemit, which was to reward quality content was defeated in the sense that, creators of absolutely great content weren't recognized, and really cool talents were ignored. This major problem was the bane that stirred up the idea, creation, and finally, the development of Knacksteem. Talents and skills would never go unrecognized and unrewarded. The organization of Knacksteem makes this possible.

Infinite scroll being infinite where there are not more posts - We were calling the API whenever we scroll at the bottom thus restricting it when we do not have more data

We also have an issue recently where all the API calls made to steemjs.com was throwing error and because of that our application was not loading. Had to change all the API calls to get directly from api.steemit.com.
