Developer Advocate

The members of the Steemit Inc. development team are currently the main contributors to the Steem blockchain software. They oversee the open source Steem GitHub repository, and maintain many of the open source libraries that developers use.

Steemit’s Developer Advocate is here to make the process of developing for the Steem platform as smooth as possible. If you have any comments, concerns, or suggestions about how to improve the experience of developing applications with the Steem blockchain - please reach out.

The D.A. receives a lot of emails, but will respond as quickly as possible.
