Well normally I would agree with you. Pulling in an entire HTML document and making a bunch of requests is a fairly bad practice for any application and even worse on a mobile application. That being said, the Idea is to eventually make it so that the application pulls in the HTML a single time on starting up and then it makes its own calculations from there. I am going to add caching next and this will be a big part of it. I looked into doing the calculations manually before and doing them from scratch was fairly performance heavy. The other way to do it would be to make an API request to the steem API for the Utopian vote and recharge information which you suggested, but I really would rather avoid using the steem API if possible. (A utopian API on the other hand would be an entirely different matter wink wink).

Thank you for moderating my contribution @emrebeyler
