YES I'm with you on this one!! I would personally love to see this feature implemented.

Also, I was also just thinking the other day that it would be awesome if you could set up RSS feeds and push notifications for whenever your favorite Steemians post new content. I found Streemian.com but it looks like it is a paid service for some of the features that would be most helpful.

Is there by chance a Steemit app for Android? I was looking on the Play store and the only thing I found is an app called eSteem which looks like it is based on the STEEM blockchain but it doesn't look like anything official.
