Manually upvoted. I am still a beginner at programming and I am slowly teaching myself to code. Don't want to be a script kiddie forever. :-)

Even more thanks. Yesterday there were reports of dapps going all over the place on the two chains due to the swap. Even steemconnect was posting to hive for quite a while, until that was fixed.

Coding on steem/hive isn't too bad. Biggest hurdle is getting steemconnect/hivesigner set up right, then after that getting the jsons to work. Overall the lack of stellar dapps is likely due a lack of documentation, and devs trying to limit its use to social media stuff.
