Introducing the Steemit Platform Switcher

Chrome Extension that lets you switch between platforms in 2 clicks!

here is the new steem it platform where you can add this on chorome.
I am sure most of you have heard of the following common and useful platforms: chainbb, steemd and steemdb. The official steemit.com platform of course provides a very good interface for general use, but sometimes some of us may want to switch to chainbb to look at the comments in a forum-styled view, or to check detailed statistics of a post on steemd orsteemdb.

(P.S. It seems that SteemDB and chainBB do not have any official logos. The logos shown above are designed by @stevenlwk)

A small trick

Switching between these 4 platforms is not a convenient task; I used to do a lot of clickings before I can arrive at the corresponding platform. But soon I discovered a slightly more convenient trick: you can just edit the domain of the URL of the current page to jump to any other platforms! (If you already knew this trick, you may skip to the next section)

For example, say I am browsing this post on steemit.com, which has a URL https://steemit.com/contest/@kenchung/free-steem-mathematics-programming-competition-2-2017624t152846454z.
Observe the following table to see the corresponding links on these platforms:
Platform Link
Steemit https://steemit.com/contest/@kenchung/free-steem-mathematics-programming-competition-2-2017624t152846454z
chainBB https://beta.chainbb.com/contest/@kenchung/free-steem-mathematics-programming-competition-2-2017624t152846454z
SteemD https://steemd.com/contest/@kenchung/free-steem-mathematics-programming-competition-2-2017624t152846454z
SteemDB https://steemdb.com/contest/@kenchung/free-steem-mathematics-programming-competition-2-2017624t152846454z

It is not difficult to discover that the only difference between the URLs is their domain names.

Our new tool

Using the little trick stated can save some time, but can still be quite annoying to change back and forth continuously. Thanks to the idea proposed by my friend @happychau123, we have developed a simple Chrome extension which makes platform switching just two clicks away! What the extension does is replacing the domain in the URL by your desired one. Now you have more time to create quality contents :)
