RE: dsteem Tutorial (Part 2: Hello World)
Thank you for your contribution.
After review your contribution we recommend the following points below:
In code it's very important to have comments explaining some lines. It helps the user who is reading your tutorial to better interpret the code.
In the requirements we recommend that you put basic knowledge of HTML and Javascript.
There is a tutorial very similar to yours, it's more intuitive and easy to learn but with steemjs. Link
Again -> include proof of work under the shape of a gist or your own github repository containing your code.
Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

Thank you for your suggestions! I've added the HTML and JavaScript requirements and a few comment lines.
The goal of this tutorial was to produce code so simple and self-explanatory that adding comments would only clutter the file. Could you be more specific about which lines are unclear/unexplained? Even the few comments that I did add feel extremely redundant. My tutorial goes into painstaking detail as to what each line does. The tutorial that you linked only has a single comment line.
Speaking of the tutorial that you linked, you make the claim that it is:
After reviewing this tutorial I could not disagree more. This tutorial is littered with many unnecessary complexities such as div tags, CCS, and jquery documents. The point of the tutorial is to interface with the Steem blockchain; not to make the interface look pretty. My code is much simpler and to the point for good reason.
Also, as you say, the tutorial linked is for SteemJS. This is basically a deprecated library. Even Steemit Inc, the creator of this library, doesn't even use it anymore and no references to it are made in the official tutorials section of the Steem API.
I don't understand why you would compare my dsteem tutorial to a deprecated and overly-complicated tutorial. I created this tutorial because I believe there is a wide chasm and completely unnecessary barrier to entry when it comes to using the dsteem library. It has nothing to do with SteemJS, even if the basic functionality is the same.
As far as linking my code to github: I'm working on that right now. Thank you for your time.
