It is with great pleasure that I announce the deployment of the version 0.3 of  [**steemstem.io**](https://www.steemstem.io/).

The code is available from the [**SteemSTEM GitHub repository**](https://github.com/SteemStem-io/steemstem) and this release concerns the last four commits (pull requests will be used from the next branch… if I don’t forget ;) ).

[**steemstem.io**](https://www.steemstem.io/) is the app developed by **@steemstem** in order to start its actions to make Steem an innovative medium for science communication. 

In a few words, the app allows for filtering the Steem blockchain so that only **posts carrying the #steemstem tag and approved by the SteemSTEM curation team are displayed**, in a chronological order. This filter can be removed by checking a ‘*show all posts*’ box. **All languages supported by SteemSTEM** are available and one can move from English to any of them by a simple click. Emphasis on specific subcategories (math, physics, psychology, *etc.*) can also be enforced. 

**Whitelisted authors get extra exposure** on the right column of the main page and promotion in the top banner can be bought by anyone for a 3 STEEM fee (to be sent to @steemstem-io) and is active as soon as a SteemSTEM vote on the post has been put.

Our app finally allows to **log in, vote, post, commenting, manage a wallet**, *etc*.
