SBI is purely based on units each member has. More units -> higher upvote. I'm not managing it, I have programmed the automation for it.
No, I'm doing it by hand. It is time-consuming, I will think of a way to automate this :), it should be possible to read out commit messages and github links.
Thanks a lot for your replies. I'm actively using beem too together with official library. I'd really appreciate that. I've added a question about steem-ua you might have missed. Thanks!
btw, I've just voted you for witness. I wanted to do it long time ago, but you didn't answer to my questions related to beem before three times in a row, basically never :) I'm not a kid, but two things I think very important as witness is communication and (in my case, dev, but this is just personal taste, I don't think this is must). So I wanted/had to follow my philosophy though I felt guilty to use your beem :) Now I'm very happy that I voted you for witness and looking forward to seeing your exciting projects. thanks!
