Fantastic work! I had created the SteemPress repository a few months back via Utopian but I never found any developers for it. Good to see you took over the job.
I think the most important feature for this plugin is the total takeover of wordpress and making it into a proper Steem website. So just posting to the blockchain is by far not enough. It should replace the comment section entirely and include SteemConnect and upvoting directly on the page. If you can pull this off than you have developed one of the most impactful tools for Steem!
Keep up the good work!
Wait so you're the one behind steempress.com ? if so dm me we are looking to buy the domain :D Also I agree with you, and it's in the works to have steem totally integrated with the WordPress websites like you said.
Thanks for the kind words :)
No, I had no clue about the URL. I just coined the term and created a task request on Utopian for my idea which was never followed through. That’s all. All credit goes to you guys.
I'm the founder of https://SteemThat.com and will be testing this plugin very soon. The only thing we are really missing is upvoting and commenting and resteeming... Looking forward to testing this out. I was watching the Original SteemPress and nada. No one has wanted to tackle a full integration on this level yet.
We allow members to publish On SteemThat and use a separate script to publish to Steemit. I'm interested in allowing our community to stay on our website and interact with the blockchain. Would love to speak with you about this more @howo. We currently feed data to SteemThat.com and would also like to modify this some.
Oh by the way, we do have a few founders spots open if interested after you visit.
Takeover Wordpress? Steemit does not have the scope or even the purpose of Wordpress websites. In a Wordpress website I decide the theme, the menus, the purpose. Wordpress is not just a blog. That is a minimal use of Wordpress. Wordpress has many functions. BTW, what is a proper Steem site? Could you provide a link to a "Steem site"? If there is such a thing as creating a Steem website, I would be interested. Being on a blockchain, I would not have to use a host for my website with it's online store, blog, sections for my book (pages that are not "lost" after a certain date), event calendar, registration, connections to PayPal and credit cards and cryptocurrency payment. Steem does all this?
