This is really funny - I was looking through the [Steem 2017 Roadmap](https://steem.io/2017roadmap.pdf) and noticed the section on the developer portal. As a relatively new Steem developer I've been having a tough time finding good documentation and figuring out how to do what I need. 

Then right after I was done reading that I come here and see this post! I've said many times that third party sites and services built on the Steem blockchain will be the future of the platform and will drive future growth of the STEEM token.

It's really great to see that SteemIt, Inc agrees and is doing so much great work to support the development of such sites and services. I have made a significant investment personally in STEEM and would like to do everything I can to help support the future of the platform.

Recently I made my first pull request to update the documentation for the SteemConnect V2 JS API, and I am working on some new apps that integrate with Steem which I hope to release in the near future.

So I want to say a bit THANK YOU for your hard work to support developers like myself, and to support the future of Steem, and please let me and all the other great Steem developers know how we can help!
