The documentation on https://v2.steemconnect.com/docs/steemjs#api is not informative to those who want to try js steem api. There are no details on how to write the parameters. In addition, the content of each API calls is not documented as well.
Only after careful trial and error did I know that there are 'names', 'balance', and other important properties. Please refer to the image below.
My idea is to create a StackOverflow equivalent within steemit platform. However, this would take some time. An easy solution is to create a new tag that is all about steemit development - let's call it the "steemoverflow" tag. If you have question regarding APIs, tutorials, and developer stuff on steemit we should start using a single, standard tag address these problems.
The title should be a question, and the body should contain necessary details regarding the questions. You can tag people you may want to answer or comment.
@dragosroua wrote an article Steemit compared with Medium, Quora, StackOverflow, Reddit and Tumblr last year concerning a Q&A based on the Steem blockchain.
It may be launched by Steemit Inc, or it may be launched by anybody, using the same blockchain. Hardfork 17 will implement an arbitrarily splitting of the rewards feature that will enable big players to put resources in significant projects, knowing that a revenue-share option is feasible and easy to implement. The rationale behind such a decision is based on the combined marketplace of StackOverflow and Quora, which is 44%. A new player could easily get in this Eldorado. If he scraps only 1%, it will get $13 millions! Quora + StackOverflow = $1,359 millions market cap.

this is the perfect platform for a Stack Overflow Q&A style site.
@oscarp wrote 2 years ago too, Stackoverflow over Steem
I was just wondering if anybody had already looked into creating a stackoverflow-like application built-upon steem. It looks to me like the perfect match. Software developers are traditionally early adopters of the crypto world, many of them/us like helping other developers and solving problems, many people making questions on stackoverflow are professional developers that use the tool for their (paid) job, etc.
Next time, you're looking for question regarding piston-python, js steem api, mongodb api access, steemsql query questions, etc, you just have to go to the steemoverflow section to look for similar question or start a new post. This is fundamental to the developement of steemit. We need developers to move forward - more developers, and steemoverflow, a Q&A section in steemit, is inevitable to speed-up that development.
