Now you can see who is following who from any profile page!

jesta (71) in steemit • 8 years ago (edited)

My code is now part of steemit.com, hurray! With the update to steemit.com today comes a few new features, including

the first thing I've brought to life on steemit.com / https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/pull/123

You can now see who you're following and who has followed you. In fact, you can do this on any user's profile page to see who they are following and who their followers are too! All you need to do is visit anyones profile page and click the one of the numbers under the account name. Each link goes to the corresponding page with information on that group of users.

Followers

Imgur

Following

Imgur

From there, you can visit their profile, unfollow them, follow them, or even mute them.

Thanks to both valzav and jcalfee for their respective help with this! I hope to be helping out more and more as time goes by, but I'm still learning the ropes for the ecosystem they've helped create.

Other recent updates

Since I'm unsure if the other details in this update will be published anywhere, I went through the commit log and have pulled out some additional details of whats changed. If any of these developers write up posts to their work, let me know and I'll update this post to their posts.

Check out the update by @someguy123, who added a new feature for witness pages making it easier to vote for anyone!
@roelandp's steemtools.com has been added to the sidebar menu to help users discover 3rd party tools.
@roadscape added a temporary solution regarding the comment anchors, as reportd by @ash. A 200px offset anchor point has been added to account for the elements on the page showing and hiding.
valzav and @jesta worked on adding a vote weigth slider that's visible for very large SP holding accounts. This will give them the option to choose how heavily weighted their vote is each time they vote.
@roadscape reworded "Pending Payout" to "Potential Payout". An effort to help educate users that the payout value is continually adjusting over time and what you see now may not be the payout a post receives.
valzav made sure the "Follow" button will now appear on top of all user profile pages, not just the blog tab.
jcalfee has fixed some of the bugs with the login form. Hopefully it will behave in a more consistent manor now while users are attempting to login.
@roadscape added a new filter called "Trending (30 day)", which will show posts that are trending during the 2nd payout window.
jcalfee changed the display logic for images to also hide on low rating posts.
@roadscape added a number of mobile/small screen optimizations for user tabs, the menu, and the topic selector.
jcalfee improved the wording on the "Convert to STEEM" window to help avoid confusion for users.
@roadscape made a change to author links, allowing once more the ability to open new tabs. Middle clickers rejoice!

Note: If these kinds of updates are something the community wants, I'm more than happy to continue following the code and reporting on the changes.

Love your work @jesta. YOU are the hero this site needs, not shameless narcissists constantly releasing the same content redone with different titles and benefiting off of users liking posts they know will have high payouts.

I have no steem dollars in account currently as I powered everything up, but I wish I did to tip you and other devs for the work which is the true lifeblood of this site

I think if we can all upload a pic instead of default avatar it would create a cooler, warmer atmosphere if you know what I mean. Also it would be great to have avatar on your profil page and be able to upload wallpaper. A bit like facebook,twitter,etc..
I have seen many user demand that feature so people will be very happy if you could build it, I definetely will be :) Again thanks for all you do.

@jesta this is awesome! My blog post yesterday was reaching out to my followers since I had no way of knowing who they were.
Super glad to see this feature added.

Not to be greedy but since you are now officially the resident expert on the subject, could you explain the follow API? Nothing I'm doing seems to work. I just want to see who's following me who I'm following and be notified whenever they do anything.

I would upvote that all day long! Btw I'm following you. Awesome work!

jesta (71) · 8 years ago

At it's core, it's get_followers('jesta', 0, 'blog', 100). But the actual syntax depends on what language you're using and what library you're using to make the calls. It needs to be called against the follow_api, which can be retrieved by calling get_api_by_name('follow_api').

If you're using piston, here's a pseudo code snippet:

from steemapi.steemnoderpc import SteemNodeRPC
rpc = SteemNodeRPC("wss://node.steem.ws", "", "", apis=["follow"])
rpc.get_followers('jesta', "", "blog", 100, api="follow")

Cool.

Curious as to how such additions work, given I have very little experience/knowledge of developing...

So can anybody write code to add such features - testing it out on the open-source code on a duplicate site - and then they submit the app/addition to the core Steemit team to be voted on for its implementation of the official site?

$0.00

[-]

jesta (71) · 8 years ago

Yeah, anyone can create their own "fork" of the code and develop features on it locally. Discussions happen on github about the features being developed on the forks, and once a feature is ready, a "pull request" is made to the original project. The maintainers of the original project can then choose to merge that code or ask for more revisions/fixes/changes. Once the code is merged, it's part of the original project, and then goes live the next time they update.

Hope that explains it! :)
