steemQL - A GraphQL Server for Steem

steemQL is a GraphQL server which aims to make interaction with the steem API as easy as possible. The goal is to have a unique API to get and push data from and to steem itself as well as from related 3rd party API's like SteemData, AskSteem etc. It will become a single endpoint for all steem data to make the integration and maintenance of different apps (e.g. web/mobile) a piece of cake.
