New Features

Post types in explore section

Every page except trending is now loaded from database accordingly to its type. Database contains posts published only on steemblr.

It was done by replacing steem-js api calls with firebase queries, app is saving posts to database in same format so there was no need for unnessessery work. To decide which post type should be loaded there was added switch statement.

Loading post by author

To avoid app crashing and provide better experience, modal and main blog view are now loading author posts from firebase. Similar to explore view it was implemented by replacing steem-js api calls with firebase queries. To check if user exist in database, before rendering, function checks database. If user doesn't exist instead of blog, app renders 'Not found' page.

Tags Checking

User post is automaticly categorized as adult content or not. It is done by checking tags, when user submits new post. Function searches for NSFW tags by summing user tags and tags that needs to be filtered together and if it finds duplicates post will be saved as NSFW in database, it doesn't affect steem post itself.
