Hello @practicalthought
The app here is steempeak.com, it is just a front end for the blockchain just like busy.org and steemit.com and you login using steem connect so it is completely safe.

You can only see those options using steempeak.com. Like I mentioned, it is just an alternative to the normal method we use, proves useful so you don't have to bother tracking down posts and making calculations(for those who do). I will be using this option and the traditional method as the need arises.

There are other amazing features with steempeak.com, yesterday I saw you can even edit older Post now on the blockchain, no matter their age. I can also bookmark great posts and get to them when I need them. You should check them out, they seem pretty coo, but their beneficiary functionality was what I stumbled on during the HF20 uproar.
Thanks.
