Steem is a blockchain-based social media platform (see < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steemit>). The Steem social activity data are saved in the Steem blockchain, the SteemDB database, the SteemSQL database, and so on. 'steemr' is an R package that downloads the Steem data from the SteemDB and SteemSQL servers, re-organizes the data in a user-friendly way, and visualizes the data for further analysis.
