RE: Steem post promotion: Past, present, and future
What this says to me is that people are using the #burnsteem25 hashtag solely to get the attention of sc01, knowing that if the vote doesn't come, they've not "sacrificed" anything.
I agree. The "out of wallet" requirement seems to be a big barrier to entry.
Any idea where to find documentation on how to write a browser plugin? I'd like to have something that highlights posts in my feed if they have a null beneficiary set or if they have a non-zero promotion cost...
I can't imagine that it would be very hard, but I have no idea where to start.
Update:
I figured out how to create a browser extension and use it to find the beneficiary and Promotion Cost strings. Now I just need to figure how to do something useful with it.
Ah, I was about to reply and just saw your update.
If it's any help, I've got a webpage hosted that shows all of the active authors/posts which have beneficiaries set, what percentage and the pending payout. I don't want to share it publicly but if you have Discord, I can share it with you there - the-gorilla#4289
It sounds like you're half way there. You should be able to navigate the DOM from one of those strings and implement some inline styles - you might not even need to do any DOM hopping and just replace the string that you've found with the exact same string + some inline styling.
I wanted to work on this plugin so I can make "promoted" posts stand out visually in other feeds besides /promoted and #burnsteem25. It's interesting that it has the opposite effect in #burnsteem25, too. It's easy to tell if someone forgot the beneficiary setting.
It's looking good...
I think that "forgot" should be in quotes 😅
Not quite what I'm going for. There's a recursion thing going on that I need to work through. But, I'm getting closer. ;-)
Update: And closer still:
