This is very useful, thanks! It'll be much easier to incorporate with steemconnect in my projects with your examples. Also, I appreciate the pointers to some excellent resources in your post, notably steemSQL.

Personal thought on CSS implementation. For me, as a developer, I only want enough design in a boilerplate so that neither ugly nor beautiful results disrupt my (fragile) concentration :) That means I usually end up dropping in a very simple CSS that no designer would ever let me run with 😃 So having a CSS in a boiler plate that I'm looking to for function over form is an extra thing I have to tweak.

Just a personal preference tho and if there's a lot of momentum in the other direction it's not going to ruin your great contribution for me. Thanks, again!
