I usually have it open when I have my pc on, but for mobile, it is still a little cumbersome.

You are right about open source. He was planning on opening more when his proposal was being funded. I remember some controversy between him and other developers because he was getting funded to develop something that wasn't yet fully opensource. It is probably the wrong word to use this term, but the main point is he doesn't collect private information and that has been confirmed.

SteemWorld.org ever received any significant funding because large stakeholders increased the required support in SPS as soon as it qualified. I think it revealed the corrupt nature of whale/witness/developer actors only supporting their friend's pet projects, some of them questionable, and running off a legitimately good programmer who donated a lot of time to the chain by not funding a great tool.

I'm not sure of the full story. He isn't currently asking the community for support from what I've noticed. Maybe he is taking a break or workimg on something else.

In anycase, a lot of end users like it and the more technically inclined know this. It's a beautiful website!

I try to send him a bit of STEEM each week or two.

That's a good idea, I kinda regret not setting him beneficiary, I'll send him a couple SBD now to cheer him up!
