can't steemit get developed as a "offshore" app, basically download it, it links to the chain, you have your wallet and account and you can get upvoted and transfer funds. All that should take is some C/C++ or some other new shit language and a internet integration with the chain.

I guess with the account issues right now and the whole lack of a big team we shouldn't be expecting and embedded player for steemit to link in other sites. Or a desktop app where we can do peerplays :D I guess EOS :D

So rather than copying everything like some unimaginative "artist" couldn't we just integrate the net with steem we for sure will win, I would like to have more people use steem and it could be just like patreon, or yt now, but instead of adds we can support with content, I'm sure that would get the "mainstream" on our side and dash and eth will have a hard time catching up.

If only there was a way, I guess stan and dan need heroes :D
