For scaling purposes, I think applications will need to cache the information to an external source (mirroring the blockchain) and then pull from that. The APIs from the blockchain can't handle the same amount of load as time-tested web tech :)

Thanks for your honest reply. I saw there was SteemSQL out there that was mirroring the blocks and was a 10 second delay behind the blockchain.
I have been exploring the idea of creating a Fiverr clone but I'm not sure if reinventing the wheel is the right way to go about it. There is a lot of existing code out there and I was thinking it might be more plausible to run off that but pull info from the blockchain for reputation and implement a system for the user to pay possibly using Steem connect V2 but I can't find much info on what it is capable of. I see it is performing some functions using the Active key. But I don't see any payment related solutions with it yet.
I'm not a cryptography expert and it isn't an easy thing to tackle.
Yeah it'd be a decent sized project to pull something off like that. The handling of funds is a bit behind in terms of development compared to some of the social features (for most 3rd party/open source apps currently).
Yeah, hopefully it can catch up. I would like to see Steemit Inc to pay consulting fees or give you grants to work on these type of projects.
Would be nice! They've got a mountain of cash, would be nice to see that used to help 3rd party development that's happening.
Yeah for real. The Steemit account is worth $192 Million. Steemit2 is worth like 5 million and the Steem account is worth another $10 Million.
They have the dough and the bread to really give some backing to these great projects. Hopefully they use their powers wisely!
The things I could do with 5% of that.
I feel ya!
