Glasnost provides a way for authors to publish their Steem blogs on their domain, constantly syncing content with the blockchain.

Among future features:

• Convenient websockets APIs for accessing blockchain data

Ooh, will this mean we can import a thread's comments in the future? This will be quite cool!

Thoughts regarding importing an author's json metadata, so that we can provide author bio cards?

very interesting - resteemed, upvoted and followed. i put a couple of posts up recently on the topic of creating a project along these lines to allow integration of steem into existing websites, such as wordpress based sites and others.. i don't know much about the technology being used in your project here, but i'll have a look and see what i can pick up :)
