1. Refactoring Overview

This refactoring upgrades AuthSteem’s tech stack and architecture for better performance, maintainability, and user experience.

Tech Stack Changes

Aspect	Legacy	New
Framework	Vue 3	React 19
State Management	Vuex	Zustand
Build Tool	Vue CLI (Webpack)	Vite
Styling	Less + custom CSS	Tailwind CSS v4 + shadcn/ui
Steem SDK	dsteem	@steemit/steem-js (next)
Encryption	triplesec	Web Crypto API (PBKDF2 + AES-GCM)

Main Features

• Account Management: Import accounts via username + password or WIF private key
• Keychain: Secure local storage using Web Crypto API
• Transaction Signing: Sign and broadcast Steem transactions via the steem: URI protocol
• Dev Tools: Broadcast operation tester for developers
• Internationalization: English and Chinese support
• Modern UI: shadcn/ui components with Tailwind CSS v4

2. Deployment

The refactored version is deployed to Cloudflare Workers via GitHub Actions:

• Each push to the master branch triggers the deployment workflow
• Build and deploy run in the cloud; no manual local deployment is required
• Hosted on Cloudflare Workers for fast and stable access

3. Migration Notice

⚠️ Keychain encryption format change: The new version uses Web Crypto API (PBKDF2 + AES-GCM) and no longer supports the legacy triplesec format. If you previously used the legacy AuthSteem and stored encrypted accounts, you must re-import your accounts in the new version.

4. Current Scope

• Platform: Web SPA only for now; Chrome extension and Electron are not supported
• OAuth: Not supported; browser-side signing only
