Excellent tutorial! Clearly this repository needs more documentation.

if you have any suggestion to add to this post comment down, I will add it to the post!

• steem.memo.encode and steem.memo.decode to encrypt messages.
• Sometimes it is necessary to setup useAppbaseApi:true in steem.api.setOptions.
• steem.database.call for specific methods that are not defined in steem-js. For instance this call returns who voted for curie as witness: steem.api.call('database_api.list_witness_votes',{start:["curie",""], limit:100, order:"by_witness_account"},function(err, result){console.log(err, result);})
