The version 0.5 of our app has been deployed a few days ago and it is now time to summarize the changes that have been implemented.
This release concerns five commits that I label as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (very original :p), and that have been organized into a single pull request.
The main novelties of that release concern post preview, as well as a redesign of the way steemstem.io interacts with steemconnect.
The manner in which the comments to a post are ordered has also been modified. It is now based on the comment creation time, the number of votes and the rewards. More information is provided below.
The steemstem.io app is developed by the @lemouth on behalf of the
@steemstem team, in order to deploy an invaluable tool for STEM lovers and researchers to communicate and share information on Steem.
In practice, our app is an interface to Steem and allows to do most actions that should have to be done from a Steem interface: managing a wallet, posting, login/logout, voting, commenting, etc. In particular, our app allows to easily add beneficiaries to a new post (this was part of the v0.4 release) and to delegate Steem Power directly from the wallet (this was part of the v0.3 release). In short, do not hesitate to help SteemSTEM to grow by using those methods!
In practice, the app chronologically displays posts carrying the #steemstem tag and approved by the SteemSTEM curation team.
The default language is English, but this can be changed. We support the Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Slavic languages. Moreover the “SteemSTEM-approved” filter can be removed and extra category (physics, math, …) filters can be added. Our app finally offers extra exposure to our whitelisted authors (their post are displayed in a separate, visible, area of the page) and post promotion in the top banner can be purchased for a small 3 STEEM transfer to @steemstem-io.
1. Post preview and post creation page (commit #1).
2. Interaction with steemconnect (commits #4 and #5).
3. Other improvements
4. Minor bug fixes.
