SteemWorld News ~ Now I Can Continue With My Work That Was Planned...

in #steemworld7 years ago

I had to re-parse the whole blockchain again because it seems as if not all Steem sites (with possibility to create posts and comments) do store the mentioned users in the 'json_metadata.users' field for the comment operation (busy.org for example). Thanks again to @double-u for the info! Now I have developed an own solution that extracts the users from the post text. If you are a developer and you are making use of the 'users' array, let me tell you this:

It does not always work and is not a reliable source for your data!

One could argue that the field contains kind of redundant data because the information can be gathered from the post body already and this might be the reason why not all developers are pleased to fill it. When something like this is not being handled in the same way by the various front-ends, it is not usable at all, in my opinion. It has taken me days to adapt my parsing routine and re-index the content and I hope that from now on I can focus more on the new features on SteemWorld.


What most people might think:

Just call blockchain -> getMentions( permlink ) and show the results on SteemWorld ;)

Reality:

Nope! One needs to go through all the > 21.8 million blocks. Each block can contain many operations. Did you ever try to collect a specific information from a 95 GB file? It's fun, but it always takes many hours!


Keep in mind:

There is one new block ~ every 3 seconds and the blocks are growing in size as more and more people are using Steem on a daily basis. I think the huge increase in the recent months is really a good sign!

Take a look at these numbers:

From Block To Block File Size (uncompressed)
1 100,000 6 MB
10,000,000 10,100,000 104 MB
20,000,000 20,100,000 1.6 GB

Working On

As my time is short, I just want to list some of the things I am currently working on (in full time):

  • New Tab 'Voting Stats' (details on received votes, voted accounts/tags, CSI calculation)
  • Delegation History (parts of it can already be seen in the tools section)
  • Transfer Search (searching for transfers, powerups, powerdowns, savings etc.)
  • Settings Import/Export like in my Steemit UI Tool (SCT)
  • Screenshot Mode (for making screen captures without the dark background)
  • Themes (Light, Dark, ...)

Previews

Delegation History


Something like this will also be added to the Delegations (In/Out) tabs. A few more filters for the date range and amounts will come soon.


Loading Settings (from json)


Saving Settings (to json)

Pro Tip

Do some people really think that 'Feed' is the title for the top section on SteemWorld? Yes, they do... ^^ Let me show you a secret:

Thank you for supporting my work!

Much love and peace to all of you ~

Hy. What happen ro steemworld, 3 day i cant access steemworld. Crased at 15% loding. 😐. I like this tool verymuch.

I don't know why it is not working for you. I can open your account without any problems. Did you try to clear your browser cache? If you should be using a firewall or something like the uMatrix-Addon, please allow connections to https://steemworld.org and https://steemworld-ws.org .

If it still does not work I guess it has to do with your browser. Did you try an other browser? Which browser are you currently using?

Ancient American proverb: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Great tool so far, ..but , ..erm. Greetings!

Wow, looks like you switched to kind of a dark theme... ^^ I've tested the current version in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Which browser are you using? Did you try to refresh the page with Ctrl + F5?

Yes, Ctrl+F5 makes no difference. It's not that the info isn't there, I just can't read it. I use the dark theme that comes with FireFox add ons because my Eyes can't take the glaring ocean of white. Unfortunately for me it's dark theme or nothing at all. On my monitor I already have brightness set to 6% and contrast down to 30% in combination with the dark theme.

Not a problem you expected, nor could you have expected this one. I also do not expect you to change something to benefit a mere single user; just informing you that sometimes seemingly insignificant changes have unexpected effects.

For me it means I can't spend as much time looking at this page. Bummer, because, besides checking email, it's been the first page I go to every day for the last 5 months; it's that good.

Thank you for your time, sincerely, Onno.

I've been working on a dark theme recently and it can now be used in 'Settings -> Theme'. It is not finished yet but I think it could already be helpful for you. You need to refresh the page again to see the new option in settings.

I'm not sure if it works in conjunction with your FF Addon. If you should try it, please post a screenshot here, so that I can see how it looks like on your machine ;) Thanks!

A work of art; sight for sore Eyes! Thank you! The screenshot was made with the add on enabled, showing it works without having to switch the add-on off.

I'll let you know if I run into any problems. Thanks again!!

Thanks for staying on top of this mess help keep such an easeful & functional front-end available. I just did my most recent Steemit Tips video on using your site to find where they've been mentioned, then scrolled back and found this as your most recent post, haha!

I am really thankful for the Mentions section of SteemWorld I was using the Steemit More info chrome extension for a while for this function but then it stopped working. Then I would use http://steemistry.com/steemit-mentions-tool/?mention but that also began to stop working so then I realized the Mention section on SteemWorld was up and running and I really enjoy being able to see the posts by other users that mention me.

You do it quite right, dear @steemchiller. Any new technology, needs new methods! You are the one who fiddles out all the stuff for us. Thank you so much for your precious work. I hope, you will be rewarded for it in a quite appropriate manner. If you are hungry, I am living at the beach of a pond in Hanau. Here, you will always get a fly or an eartworm to eat.

Lieber @steemchiller, meine Recent Posts gehen nicht mehr auf.

dann muddu unter settings ma n andern steem node nehmen

Dank auch recht schön…

und was machst Du "am Strand" unter der Brücke in Hanau, das wa rdie letzte Zeit doch sicherlich eisekalt, oder?

It's sad you need to build so many things just to keep steemworld able to access correct information, but I'm glad you're doing it. I'm also glad to hear you can get back to the other updates and projects you've wanted to be working on. I've been using your add-on now for weeks and really like it, too. I truly hope that this is working out well for you, because it certainly helps a large portion of STEEM users.

I love your app man. Keep it up, you've got my 100% upvote on that one.

Upvoted to further support your work. Thank you for building Steemworld!

Love the site you’ve created and the many different tools that you have embedded on it. Probably the most comprehensive website for steemians to find any data they are looking for. I use your site daily hourly. Keep up the awesome work

Hey @steemchiller.
First, thank you very much for steemworld. I really enjoy using it and appreciate the work that goes into it.
I encountered something today on steemworld, which might be considered a bug, but maybe it is intended. When sorting the Downvotes by amount, I expect the user that removed the most to be on the top of the list. Instead it is the other way around.

Screenshot of the flags that @haejin got

The bottom of the list, so what I expected to be on top
Also the chart on the right of the window is displaying it in the same, wrong way.
Yours
Schwein
I would really appreciate if you gave me an upvote (no matter what percentage at all) so that I can see you read my comment. Otherwise I will try to contact you somewhere else. ^^

Thanks for the info! You are right, it should be sorted the other way around for downvotes. I remember it was working a few months ago. Maybe I've changed something with my recent big code cleanup... I will fix it with the next update ;)

Your post, as ever, is interesting, even if slightly beyond my understanding
:)
But, to return to my reason for making this comment:

A while ago, I asked for an "improvement" and I did not get an answer from you - just an upvote (very kind of you).

Only afterwards, as I thought about it did I realise I had not thought it through and I realised how tactful you had been in not making me look like a fool by pointing out the obvious.

Thank you.

To be honest, I didn't know what you mean and I didn't have had the time to get into it. But I always vote comments that contain a few kind or inspiring words for me ;)

:)
It is very nice getting your upvotes, but I promise not to try to take advantage of your kindness (now don't go voting me again, it will make me feel guilty, I just felt you deserved the comment).

Hi, I'm new on Steemit. Luckily I found your site and it's really awesome to keep the overview. Just wanted to say thank you for your effort:-)

Danke dir Lisa und herzlich Willkommen auf Steemit! I guess you are German, because your name contains the word 'liebeslust'... Anyway, I wish you much fun and success here ;)

wow... you really give nice upvotes. Thanks for that! Expect me to comment your content on a regular base from now on :-)

Sorry, kein Deutsch. Just picked up a few nice sounding words:-)
