Fixing an App with a Deprecated Library and API - Weather App Part 5 by @tensor [video-tutorials]
This video tutorial by tutorial hall of famer @tensor deals with a painful issue for open source software: What do you do with software that is no longer being supported by its maintainers. As the review comment says: "Project owners and organizations are always discontinuing their support for various aspects of their projects." We appreciate @tensor taking the time to address how the community can work around this issue. This is an excellent tutorial, and a fine example of best practices.

Proof.ink - Proven immutable data - File hashes stored on the Steem blockchain by @roelandp [blog]
For the second week in a row, the Blog category's staff pick is from @roelandp. This time, the founder of SteemFest has created Proof.ink, a way to store file hashes directly on the Steem blockchain. This means of knowing a file has not been tampered with can have many uses, and the way Roeland tells the story of coming up with it makes the post personal and engaging. We hope to see more from him, and hope to see others deliver their innovations in such an engaging manner.

Abuse Series: For Profit Promotions by @enforcer48 [anti-abuse]
Wow. @enforcer48 has produced one of the best reads yet for the Anti-abuse category. He uses a little humor and a funny anecdote to teach about a new tool that tracks bid bot use. The tool is a useful way to catch those who abuse the Steem promotional services. Read this post and add a new tool to track bid bot use on the blockchain.

Phishing Warning by @steemcleaners [anti-abuse]
Phishing is raising its ugly head on Steem once again, and SteemCleaners wants to warn everyone about the phishers trying to steal your STEEM. Share this information with your friends and your enemies. As the review comment said: "Phishing is one of the top abuse we need to minimize on the platform. It has a tendency of creating domino effect that we shouldn't allow to happen."
