Developer Bounty - All of the SBD from this post will go to someone who develops a new feature for Steemit.com - Details Inside

There are a ton of updates that the community wants made to Steemit website! Many of them are listed here.

Steemit is an open source project that allows pull requests. This means that anyone who is a developer can download the Steemit source code (here) and work on changes to the Steemit website themselves!

This post is to incentivize more unofficial developers to get involved and start working on changes to the Steemit website. Whoever can develop a new feature that gets accepted, checked in to the official code base, and released to the actual Steemit.com website will receive all the SBD awarded to this post! (Rules below.)

If you have any questions about how to work on development changes to the Steemit website, there are people in the Steemit.Chat dev channel that can help.

Here are the rules:

1. You must declare your intent to participate as a developer. You can do this by replying to this post and saying that you plan to work on a new feature. You don't have to, but if you want to say what you will be working on - that would be great!
2. For this bounty, I am restricting this to new developers - people that have not yet developed anything for the Steemit website. (People like @jesta, @svk, and @someguy123 - who have already been checking in changes for Steemit are not eligible.)
3. Whatever update you make must be submitted to GitHub via a pull request.
4. Whatever update you make must be accepted by the official dev team. Note - I have no control over this.
5. The update must be officially released and become part of the Steemit website. Note - I have no control over this.
6. The update must add some value to the Steemit community. ("I changed the font size from 12 to 14 on the 'about' page" will not qualify.) While this may be considered somewhat subjective, I am pretty sure this won't be an issue. I just want to prevent people from exploiting the contest by just checking in a change for the sake of making a change, with no real value added. If you are unsure whether something you want to do adds value, just ask in the comments.
7. If nobody is declared a winner by the time the 30 day payout period for this post ends, I will create a new "developer bounty" post and roll all of the SBD from this post into the bounty for the next post. All of the developers who entered the first bounty will automatically be entered into the new bounty.
8. I reserve the right to make updates to these rules within the 24 hour payout period, in case someone points out any flaws in the comments. Whatever the rules are at the close of the first payout period (when the post is locked from making more edits) will be considered the final rules.
9. You must be able to prove that you were the one who made the update. The easiest way would be for a pull request with the change to be submitted to GitHub by a user with your Steemit user name, but I am open to any other form of verification that the community considers acceptable proof.
10. If any other users reply via the comments that "they will add X SBD to the bounty", that payout will be between that user and the declared winner, unless the person sends it to me as a verifiable transfer - to hold on to and pay to the declared winner.
11. Whoever's feature is released and available on the actual Steemit.com website first, will be declared the winner.
12. In the event that multiple developers participate, and their features are all released together at the same time, the bounty will be split equally.

Ways to participate:

1. You can upvote this post to increase the bounty.
2. If you know developers who may want to participate, tell them about this bounty offer.
3. Boost this post to give it more visibility.
4. Add to the bounty. You can either do this by agreeing to directly pay the declared winner yourself, or you can send me the SBD via a verifiable transfer to hold on to, and I will pay it to the declared winner.
5. If you are a developer - enter the bounty contest and develop a new feature!
