What is MicroSteemit

MicroSteemit is developed based on the wechat micro application which is maintained by the tencent company.

wechat micro application is an application that doesn't need to be downloaded and installed. It implements the dream of "reach within reach", and users scan or search can open the micro application through the wechat application. It also reflects the idea of "running away", and users don't have to worry about installing too many apps. Micro Applications will be ubiquitous, readily available, without installing uninstall. Suitable for life service offline shops and non-new low-frequency conversion. The micro application can realize seven functions such as message notification, offline scan code and public number association. Among them, the user can realize the mutual jump between the wechat public account and the micro application through wechat association.

In a word , MicroSteemit is an application which can be used without downloading while chatting with friends in wechat easily. Just by scanning the MicroSteemit QR code can we commodiously surf on the steemit community.

But now , the MicroSteemit is still in developed phase .Of course you also can test the project in the wechat application tool .See the github project in detail.

Since so much restriction while applying the Micro Steemit on Wechat , i have to build up own server and apply for ICP record of the hostname.

In addition , i also must setup a white list.

So i will be a bit longer to put the app online .Sorry about that !

What feature(s) did you add?

create the back-end server with Express Node.js
fix the showing of the current tag item on post page
add delete icon to remove the current tag on post page
add long tap to save into the favorite list
add showing pending payout by clicking
add showing voter lists by clicking
add clicking into category to navigate to post page while setting the current tag is the specific one
add clicking on the author to show profile

How did you implement it/them?

build up back-end server with Express
1. calling Express to monitor the http request to the server from the 3000 port
  
  file path :back-endServer/app.js
```
var app = require('express')();
// set request port
app.set('port',(process.env.PORT || 3000));
// set file /routes/index as the route controller
// file routes/index take charge of distributing the route
var routes = require('./routes/index');
routes(app);
// monitor the port when start the server
app.listen(app.get('port'),function(){
   console.log('Server listening on port:',app.get('port'));
});
```
  open browser then input the url: 127.0.0.1:3000 to test it
  
  2.create route distribution module
  
  file path :back-endServer/routes/index.js
```
module.exports = function(app){
   var post = require('../api/post');
   app.use('/post',post);
   var tag = require('../api/tag');
   app.use('/tag',tag);
   var account = require('../api/account');
   app.use('/account',account);
   var general = require('../api/general');
   app.use('/general',general);
};
```
  monitor the api then distribute to different module to deal with the request
  
  3.create homologous modules including post module , account module ,account module and general module
  
  file path :back-endServer/api/post.js
```
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var steem = require('steem');

// deal with GET request
router.get('/get_discussions_by_trending', function(req, res) {
   steem.api.getDiscussionsByTrending(JSON.parse(req.query.query), function(err, result) {
     res.send(result).end();
     console.log("get_discussions_by_trending:"+ req.query.query);
   });
});
```
  according to the api category , calling steemjs for request for the specific data.
  
  then test the api from back-end server:
  
  print log in to console
  
  now the existing api in my own back-end server:
