So just from reading this:
AppBase enables many components of the Steem blockchain to become modular by creating additional non-consensus blockchains as dedicated plugins.
It seems like we are going to have the ability to fully customize our experience on steemit by implementing "plug-in" style additions.
Does this mean that anyone can create these modules? IF so this is a huge boost and something I was hoping would be implemented. Things that can customize the experience and make it easier to use, or bring new utility would be really awesome, can't wait to try it out tonight!
