Sure.

I use Flask for the backend which queries a mongo database (the steemdata one), so I don't have to parse the blockchain; this is primarily what makes the application so performant.

The downside is that it's not fully updated, but about an hour behind steemit.com.

Other than that, it's really just a very basic web-application.

Ahh, I see. That's cool. Thanks for that.
