I got it mostly working, if you do decide to add it, let me know if you get stuck anywhere as I may have already figured that part out. for example, make sure you change the line in checkEncryption()
from steemconnect/node_modules/steem/lib/auth/memo.js
to:
var pubkey = 'STX8m5UgaFAAYQRuaNejYdS8FVLVp9Ss3K1qAVk5de6F8s3HnVbvA';
(note the STX versus STM)
