Two days ago, @spectacles finally went public. And it blew up!
With almost $200 potential payout and 200+ upvotes, I can honestly say that that post was my most successful one so far! I am super proud to be involved in this amazing project and I am psyched about all the positive feedback we have gotten so far.
SPECTACLES!
The baby of @pilcrow and me! We have been working on this tiny web application for the last couple of weeks and are very proud of the results so far. It is only the beginning and we have a lot more on the planning! You can read the announcement post here!
SPECTACLES provides relevant data which gives you more insights in the activity on your posts, so you can reciprocate and improve engagement between you and your followers.
We wanted to create an application which gives you more insights in your followers and their activity when it comes to your posts. With this information, you can start communicating with your followers in more meaningful ways.
My favorite features so far...
I absolutely love the Most Loyal Followers table, as well as the Upvotes Received in the Upvotes menu.
Most Loyal Followers
What I love about this feature, is that you can see who of your followers engage who engage with you the most. If you didn't know that this person has been supporting you for so long, it might be time for you to hit that upvote button on one of their posts too! Besides that, is that I enjoy looking at the total amount someone has upvoted you for.
Upvotes Received
This is one of the tables I have been waiting for awhile! Sometimes you are just refreshing your blog when you just posted, and out of the blue, it might just increase by a dollar or two! But who is responsible for this? It could be one person, but also be a combination of two or three Steemians. In this table, you can find out who upvoted what post and along with the amount. Now we finally got a number next to the 20 names we see when you click on the eye icon!
Ofcourse these are not all..
We have more! We also give you information as to who are your most influential followers, who are your followers but do not engage with you and who of your followers haven't been online in over a month.
You can check out your own stats at steemspectacles.com!
That's a very cool Steemit tool! Already added to my favorites and bookmarked, and definitely something I will be referring to on a regular basis!

Wow, that's a really nice application! However, I'm a bit sad to see how many of my followers that are either ghosts or dead :P

As I already told @pilcrow a short while ago, I am really enjoying this web application. It gives you a nice and clear overview of some data that would take a lot of time to figure out yourself, if it would even be possible at all. It showed me that some impressions I had were right but I had know idea about the majority of my followers.
As I only have about 200 followers, I can imagine how useful this is for people with thousands. And did I tell you that I really like the looks of it?
Great work! Gefeliciteerd!

Thank you for your kind words! I am glad you like it :)
You pointed out a couple of things which I were my thoughts exactly when I came up with the concept of such an app. I am happy I found @pilcrow and that he was willing to take the leap with me!
I think about average, only 20% of your followers might actually interact with you - the rest is either dead or are simply not engaging with you.
I am glad you like the looks of it! I tried my best to make it look nice! :D

This is a terrific application. Thank you so much. I just started to move around it and was already surprised at some of what I saw. My top vote provider, albeit not in money, was someone I never even heard of. You are correct, going to be visiting that blog a lot more frequently.
We live in an age of data....it is crucial that we have the tools to be able to focus our attention better.

Hi, I need to dig a bit deeper, but it looks like the upvotes info is not completely correct. I know there are two account voting on my posts, one of my wife and another account of mine ;-), but they don't show up in spectacles.
Just a quick heads-up, I'll research this some more tomorrow.

Hi @rmz! Currently, we only display your followers, is it possible that these accounts aren't following you?
We are still looking into solutions to also show people who aren't following you - but what we've found so far will slow @spectacles down immensly, so we're looking for something else. Unfortunately because of this, the feature has been postponed :(
Let me know if you find anything else!

That can be it, these accounts are indeed not (yet) following.
You may need to reconsider your approach a bit, the blockchain will only increase. If Steem really takes off the delays could be considerable.
An approach would be to have a separate database (mongo or mysql) where you store all relevant info you want to show. You could maintain this database in the background, store a record up till which block you processed and only traverse the blockchain from that block and newer.
For the rest of the info you can use the 2nd database.

I do not have much knowledge of this part. However, I am pretty sure my developer @pilcrow can explain this a little bit more!

Yes, this is exactly what I'm planning to do! I'm mainly a front end guy though so I'm going to have to learn some new stuff, but I'm sure I'll be able to get it working.
There are some databases already available so with a bit of luck all I have to do is build an API for it. I'll find out.

Hey @sjennon, here's some user feedback -> spectacles is great!
But it does leave you wanting more... Now, it shows the highest upvote you got, could that maybe become a top 10? or top 50?
Also, I would love to have insight not only on my followers, but also on the ones I follow -> what was their last published post, how many upvotes did these get, which rewards... etc
Also I would love to sort the ranking of all stats by clicking the column titles (i.e. Name - Upvotes - SP - Avg - $ upvote - Total $ received - Last Active)
Keep up the good work!

Thanks @fitzgibbon!
Sortable columns is definitely somewhere at the top of our to do list, so we hope to introduce this soon! This will also enable you to sort on the highest upvotes you got, so your first suggestion might already be merged in that case!
What made you think of this :D Curious to know as to how this information would be different than your feed on Steemit itself.
What we did have in mind was to show some more generic data about the people you follow: who are do you follow who are dead (so you can unfollow them and on who have you been voting etc.
