If Steemit adds an API for 3rd party apps like Wordpress / Android / Etc, Steem network growth would likely explode fairly quickly. For instance, with a Steemit.com API it would only take a few lines of code hooked into Wordpress's publish_post action hook to have a new Wordpress post also be published on the Steem network. No joke, it's so easy to do with an API in Wordpress it's crazy.

It's now possible with the existing Steem API endpoints. I've developed a WordPress plugin that lets you publish your WordPress posts on the Steem blockchain.

Completely agree.
I'd love to create a social network on the Steemit blockchain.
I have so many ideas, and really don't want to have to create an entirely new block chain :(

An API would help you use Steem's blockchain. Good luck with your ideas! :-)

More integration would definitely be beneficial...I would utilize them.

I sure a ton of people would utilize it as well, myself included.

The real problem is lack of a steemit.com api. Since I do a lot of wordpress work and run a couple of wordpress sites, I decided to bridge the gap temporarily with a plugin that will let you mix your steemit.com posts into your wordpress site. Not an elegant solution by any means, but it works for me. https://steemit.com/wordpress/@tony.jennings/show-your-steemit-posts-on-your-wordpress-site

Thanks! It's free (open source, no cost) to any who want to use it. I'm using it on my site already and have a couple of friends that write tutorials on jewelry making and glass working that I'm going to be setting up to use it shortly. I think they would both do very well here, but they already have a following and their own blogs.
