### Synopsis I will provide documentation intended for application and tool developers who work on the Steem blockchain. ### Timeframe One month from the start of the approved proposal, from 2019-09-01 until 2019-09-30. Total pay requested for timeframe: `3770 SBD` ### Deliverables For the duration of the proposal work timeframe: * Periodic pull requests directed at the devportal github maintained by Steemit, Inc. to appear on [https://developers.steem.io](https://https://developers.steem.io) once merged. * "API Definitions" section updates * "Recipes" section updates, which are programming-language-agnostic tutorials * Maintenance of existing documentation to ensure ongoing relevance. * Ongoing staged versions of the documentation to appear on [inertia186.github.io/devportal](https://inertia186.github.io/devportal/), in cases where Steemit, Inc. is blocked (too busy) to merge the changes to the official devportal. * Updates using decline-payout-posts to detail ongoing deliverables in the timeframe. ### Rational for Proposal Funding Using the proposal system means I can decline-payout for related posts, be compensated by SPS Inflation, and thus avoid seeking compensation through Reward Pool Inflation for these deliverables. In a sense, my ultimate goal is to turn this SPS Inflation into demand for STEEM Power by empowering application developers to expertly deploy Steem applications, leading to their continued desire to power up. ### Qualifications I was on the Steemit, Inc. payroll for 10 months. During that time, I learned the development philosophy and culture and I was part of a developer group called SteemWorks. I am also accomplished at reverse-engineering, which is a requirement for doing heavy documentation on the Steem blockchain. ### Previous Work During my time at Steemit, Inc., I was part of the team that contributed to the following devportal updates: * [Dev Portal Update: New Steem Developer Resources](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/dev-portal-update-new-steem-developer-resources) * [Dev Portal Update #2: Ruby, JavaScript, AppBase API Calls, Testnet Documentation](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/dev-portal-update-2-ruby-javascript-appbase-api-calls-testnet-documentation) * [DevPortal Update #3: UX Improvements, More Javascript Tutorials and More!](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/devportal-update-3-ux-improvements-more-javascript-tutorials-and-more) * [DevPortal Update 4: Javascript, Contribution Guidelines, Search](https://steemit.com/devportal/@steemitblog/devportal-update-4-javascript-contribution-guidelines-search) * [DevPortal Update 5: Jussi, SteemConnect, Improved Structure, and Recipes](https://steemit.com/devportal/@steemitblog/devportal-update-5-jussi-steemconnect-improved-structure-and-recipes) * [Dev Portal Update: Tutorials, Recipes, and Tweaks, Oh My!](https://steemit.com/devportal/@steemitblog/dev-portal-update-tutorials-recipes-and-tweaks-oh-my) * [Steemworks Update: TestNet and DevPortal Improvements](https://steemit.com/devportal/@steemitblog/steemworks-update-testnet-and-devportal-improvements) * [Steemworks Update: Backfill, Twitch in Condenser, and Easy Account Creation on TestNet](https://steemit.com/devportal/@steemitblog/steemworks-update-backfill-and-easy-account-creation-on-testnet) Since then, I have provided several updates to the official devportal, which have all been merged by Steemit, Inc.: * [Steemit Dev Portal: Document Transaction Polling API](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@inertia/steemit-dev-portal-document-transaction-polling-api) * [Steemit Dev Portal: Document Transaction Polling Recipe](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@inertia/steemit-dev-portal-document-transaction-polling-recipe) * [Steemit Dev Portal: Add Reputation API Definitions](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@inertia/steemit-dev-portal-add-reputation-api-definitions) * [Steemit Dev Portal: Document Plugin & API List](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@inertia/steemit-dev-portal-document-plugin-and-api-list) * [Documenting Reputation and Database API Definitions](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@inertia/documenting-reputation-and-database-api-definitions) * [Steem Documentation: Full Node Quickstart](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@inertia/steem-documentation-full-node-quickstart) ### Proposal Approval/Rejection Criteria You should approve this proposal if you would like me to be compensated through SPS Inflation rather than the Reward Pool Inflation.
