[UPDATED] Steemit More Info - Chrome Extension

in steem-dev •  7 years ago  (edited)

A new version is available!

https://steemit.com/steemdev/@armandocat/steemit-more-info-0-9-2-chrome-extension-firefox-extension




A simple Steemit extension that shows more info on steemit.com

If you use steemit.com, you may have notice that it is lacking a lot of functionalities.
That's why you need to use tools like https://steemd.com/, https://steemdb.com/, https://steemstats.com/, https://www.steemnow.com/, ...
A lot of tools!

So why another tool???
Because this is a chrome extension that you install on your browser, and then all the informations you need will be available to you directly on steemit.com!

Please take into consideration that this is a new project that I just started, and the features are limited to just a few so far! I'm planning to add more and more features in the next versions. Every suggestion and idea is very much appreciated!

Features

  • In the profile page of any account, you will see a Vote Power indicator on top (next to the name and the reputation), with the reward that a 100% vote from that user will give in SBD ($)

  • In the profile page of any account, you will see the number of votes that user has done today


  • A new tab 'Votes' is added, where you may see the latest upvotes done or received by that user


  • When you click upvote and the Vote Weight slider appears, not only you see the percentage of the vote, but you also see the amount in $ that upvote will be valued






Future development

I'm planning to add more features like:

  • A panel that shows additional info about the users that upvoted a post, for instance what vote weight they used, how much shares they got, how much is their expected curation reward, ...
  • A better follower page, where you can also sort the followers by date they added you.
  • Notifications, for instance if somebody replies on one of your posts or comments, if you get an upvote, ...
  • Maybe adding a page with some graphs of the stats of the account
  • ...

Privacy - Do I steal your data?

I do not access your private keys. The only way I could do it, is if you go to your wallet page and click on "show private key". But I don't do it!
Should you trust me? Well, I believe is better not to trust anyone. That's why the source code of the extension is available on github and you can (and you are encourage to) look and study it!

https://github.com/armandocat/steemit-more-info

The way it works is by scraping the webpage and the url of the page you are looking at to extract your username and the username of the user you are looking at. Then it uses steem-js to get informations about that user.
This process doesn't involve any private key! In fact, you can see informations of other users as well, even if you obbiuvsly don't know their private keys.

Installation

(Currently you will need to install it yourself until it is added to the Chrome store)

  • Download and unzip the extension. LINK: https://github.com/armandocat/steemit-more-info/archive/master.zip
  • Open your Chrome Extentions by typing chrome://extensions in your Chrome Browser.
  • Drag and drop the root folder of the project you just unzipped (steemit-more-info) inside the chrome extension page.
  • Go to Steemit!

I'm doing this project in my free time. The more interest I get from the community, the more I'll be devoted to improve it!

The code is based on the chrome extension "Steemit Voting Power" by @daynewr. I refactored (pretty much rewriting everything) and added new functionalities to it (like the votes page)

Thanks!

Great work. Really convenient extension. Appreciate your remarks about the private key handling. Keep up your work. Will follow. Upvoted and resteemed. Cheers.

Thanks!

Good tool. thanks

Any possibility you can make this work for other browsers ie, Firefox or Opera?

Well, I use Chrome, that's why I made if for chrome.
If the idea has success (and now it seems it's starting to be!) I could port it for firefox too. I don't think is going to be very hard.
For Opera, I don't know. Are you using it?

I like Operas built in VPN but use both Firefox and Opera, I don't have much experience with chrome because I worry about Google knowing too much about me.

Ok, I'll look into Firefox for the next version 😺

Cool, thanks for the work you're doing. Great to see all the tools being created by the community.

Thank you for letting me know. I'll be following you for more news of what you're up to.

If you are using WebExtensions framework, you technically should be able to port it across to Firefox and Opera with very little modification (if any).

Oh, and great idea for an add-on! I've got a couple of steem apps on the go and only about an hour ago the thought popped into my head that I could implement one of them at least via an extension/add-on. And then I came across your article by accident via the steem-dev tag. Happy coincidences.. :)

Voted and Resteemed.

Yeah I just came across that in my feed. Good work!

Thanks @revo, I'll have a look into Firefox and maybe also Opera, why not :)
Thanks for voting and resteem.
I'm already working on some new features that people should like! You if want to suggest something you'd like to see, I could put that into my TODO list

Awesome. I am downloading your extension. Keep doing great work man!

Thanks man! Let me know your feedbacks!

Great job, saves a lot of time.

This is so great. Thank you for all your thoughtfulness and effort.
