Yes, of course it is. The steemit website is just an interface to the blockchain - you can use any other interface to interact with it to perform any functions, including wallet based ones.

I understand the concept of Steemit being connected to the Blockchain of Steem. I also understand how the back-end data is stored, at least from the SteemSQL side.
Where I fall short is with the various apps, because I (along with the majority of other non-developers) have no incentive to use additional APIs to connect to the Steem Blockchain outside of the Steemit webpage.
If Steemit failed, I would research and try to become more savvy with such an endeavor, however as there is no current need (or a foreseeable future need), I have not invested my time with researching alternatives to what is already woking. With that said, you have physically used and accessed a wallet other than on Steemit's webpage, which includes Power Down functionality?
P.S. I liked your video on how to code a Steem app for posting content within 9 minutes.
Here are just a few of the other services that are available to connect to the blockchain:
https://github.com/aaroncox/vessel/ (desktop wallet)
https://busy.org/ (alternate front-end site, like steemit.com)
https://chainbb.com/ (another different front-end)
https://esteem.ws/ (another front-end)
Hope this helps :)
