Return more user stats via get-single-profile API request

Must include "follows" and "followers". 🔥

Right now any app that runs via DeSo API has to make 3 separate API calls to retrieve simple user information, to get number of followers and to get number of follows are 2 separate API calls. By simply including that data into get-single-profile will reduce number of API requests 3 times! This will dramatically increase the speed of DeSo Apps, right now it takes crazy amount of time to load user profiles that have a lot of followers, this can be easily seen if you check @krassenstein profile with 18K followers.

get-single-profile should also return number of posts, comments, quotes, diamonds, likes and so on. This data can be easily aggregated inside user profile by simple counters that would increment each number by event.

I consider this update to be critical for scaling and user experience that would influence all existing and future social apps built on DeSo Protocol.

It must be done!🚀

Great optimization idea, brootle. fafb.

I’m not well versed enough to be able to provide a counter argument, so on the surface this sounds great!

what would be some valid pushback to @brootle’s proposal, @lazynina @maebeam @diamondhands0 @jackson-dean?

[sungkhum]

Yes, please!

@diamondhands0 can you share your thoughts on this? thanks!👍

I've already modified /v1/block in my dev node to include the number of transactions in the block. I agree that separating counts from actually pulling the details is important.

@brootle don't let the fact that it's written in Go stop you. Setup a Dev Node, start hacking prototypes/solutions and you could even be submitting pull requests.

I know, I am just being lazy, so I have to play mastermind and tell others what should be done
