Documentation is sure lacking !
Imo we need to have something like my collection of snippets : steemsnippets but expanded to basically everything so there are lots of examples that people can use.
For instance it's not really intuitive that "comment" can be used to post AND comment.
Next is obviously a complete documentation :
- Function use
- Input parameters
- Output
It's insane that you still have to rely on trial and error for most of the things out here.
Then I think we need a long documentation that explains how steem actually work, so people can freely experiment with it and try to create new libraries for their favorite language which will expand greatly steem's portability.
I'd love to see @almost-digital 's testnet on it as well : https://testnet.steem.vc/ When you start to code things and need to break stuff it's so important to have a nice testnet.
I talked in more details about some of the problems and what I'd like to see solved for the dev community here
Thanks..
A working test net.. That would have saved me from a lot of public mistakes,now forever encoded in the blockchain:)
