Steemit Explained:Ginabot

Ginabot is a decentralized application, two words often abbreviated as “dApp” and more specifically a notifications application. The developer for Ginabot is @neander-squirrel to whom I say Thank you very much.

I like this application because it notifies me whenever some comments on my posts, upvotes my posts, sends me a memo or sends me Steem. It also gives me very useful information about the notification. For example if someone upvoted my post, it tells me what post they upvoted, who it was, what’s their reputation score, how much Steempower do they have, what % upvote did they give me and what is the value of the upvote.

Another useful function is I have a list of people I follow and Ginabot notifies me when they post. The application notifies me they posted, gives me the title and provides a URL link, so I can go directly to the post to read, comment and upvote. It’s very useful for getting that curation vote in early.

The application has several other functions, but in the interest of accuracy I will quote the developers post to explain all of Ginabot’s capabilities:

These two graphics explain those features in more detail:

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

I use this application everyday. It’s very easy to set up following the instructions above. I have the discord application on my Mobile and my desktop so it’s easy to follow the discord links on either and the notifications feature has been valuable in helping curate sooner now that we have this 50/50 split timely curation at 5 minutes is very important. This is very important for smaller accounts because the effect of your vote is magnified by voting early. Ginabot is an excellent way to get notified of a comment or reply to a post, so you can reply quickly. Additionally when someone new follows you, it notifies you who it is and gives you their basic stats. Their name is also a link, so you can click on it and go directly to their feed to read and comment on their posts. I feel it has helped me engage with people and grow.
