Steem Supply: New Feature Live - Social Insights, Your Top Supporters And Loyal Followers

dragosroua (74) in steemit • 7 years ago

After tidying up the code a bit and playing with the calculations, I rolled out the "Social Insights" feature of steem.supply this morning.

As you can see in the screenshot above you can now see who are the most influential (or the "heaviest") supporters, and also who are the ones who are voting you the most (or the "most loyal").

A word about how the supporters "stake weight" is calculated. Each vote, for each post, carry a special metric called "weight", which is - to my knowledge - determined in rapport with the specific post. In other words, "weight" determines how big is the impact of a specific vote for a specific post, regardless of the voting power and weight of the voter. So if a whale is voting with just 1%, the weight for that post may be equal or less than a weight of a dolphin vote with, let's say, 80% voting power. Again, this is how I interpret this metric, if anyone knows differently, please correct me. So, this "weight" is summed up across all votes, to give the total weight, and then individually, for each voter. In the end, a percentage is calculated and the results are ordered descending. That's the reason you will never get 100% when adding the stake weight, but more.

Other features:

the results are filtering out your own votes, so even if you're upsteeming your own posts, your account won't be listed here.
the total number of voter for that specific window (past 7 days, that is) is displayed at the bottom

As always, looking forward to your opinions, feedback, criticism and suggestions.

I have a question, would it be possible for steem supply to have a look back? I mean to look back at pasts posts/payouts for reference?

Technically, you can do that. It would defeat the purpose of this specific app, though, which must answer to the question: "when and how much am I going to be paid?". I do think of a more general analytics tool too, and if time permits and if there will be enough interest for it, I will start it at some point.

Thanks for the feedback.

Actually, the name of the app is steem.supply. And a supply can also have a part for historical data...

That is correct, if we take the account the name of the site. If we think at the question that the app must respond, which is "when and how much you will be paid" things can get quite blurry. But I do understand what you're saying and I'm thinking about it...

Thanks for the consideration @dragosroua. I know what you're saying that for this specific app, it only looks at upcoming or a 7-day period.

I believe that the site already or perfectly answers the question when and how much you will be paid. How about answering a related question, "how much was I paid for a certain period?"

The particular use-case I'm looking at is I want to know my baseline. This is so that I get feedback on what I'm doing good (as measure by it's payout) and which one should I stop.

Depending on the posts I made, I want to know which ones made Steem and at what time and day did I make them.

I'm not saying that steem.supply should answer all these, I'm just voicing out for what purpose I'll be needing the said historical data.

As it is, steem.supply already rocks! :)

Ok, so it rolled out pretty fast :) Thanks for doing this update, i really find it useful since you can compare the loyalty and the weight of the votes. Keep up the great work, cheers!
