The Steeminati's SteemConsole is coming .... second look!.. Still Looking for Alpha testers!
As I stated in my previous post.

The Steeminati's SteemConsole is coming .... First Peek!.. Looking for Alpha testers!
I've been developing a Web based Tool called the SteemConsole to help the Steeminati give coverage Support to each other without using completely automated bots. It's not ready for release to the general public yet, but it's getting there. Essentially making enhancing users into cyborgs vs. dogmatic users of unfeeling bots....
..So here's some more snapshots of the latest info about it!
So this past week I was starting with security upgrades and a mascot (here's the Login Page).
Meet Handy the Steem Console mascot,
He's pictured here on the login page
When the Steeminati was using this tool exclusively for our own use, it was limited to our own personal machines and not put on the internet, so there was no need for security and password protection to get into it.
Here's my thinking and what I did....Now I did not want to put our keys or use the blockchain to login, I wanted it to be self contained to our local database OUTSIDE of web accessable space. So even if a bad actor knew
how the software was structured and had one of your groups keys, They were dead in the water
on getting someone else's from us.
To further prevent problems:
can't change a user name and password by hacking your email, (because the only way to change the passwords and user names is to go into the database as admin)
the database does not exist in web accessible space. So no copying it. Essentially You can not just download or access the database from the web.
the Steem keys and Usernames are not used as logins
Once a person makes 3 incorrect password attempts on an account they are locked out from the database. And will require an admin to physically go into the Database to reset your logins.
No cookies or push notifications are utilized.
It is developed on a non-unix system and all fields are used in canned server side stored routines, So insertion scripts into the server are essentially blocked.
there are a couple of other capabilities related to tracking, including a running tracelog, such that actors locations, browser, datetime, actions are recorded, this information is not exposed or shared except for auditing,
Of course the database itself is password protected.
The human interface web portion times out and needs a re-login if left open unattended.
Pretty much I bullet proofed it for the security level needed. Please note that does not mean you can't hack it by theft Passwords and locations or human folly,
That's all I have time to talk to about now....
But I will leave you with a snapshot of the modified main page and a list of what I will be talking about in my next few update posts.
Here are the Topics:
I added some more context sensitive quick launches for each account and needed information to the main screen.
There is now a configurable bookmarks section.
I developed a personal template markup language for the blog formatter. Yes there is a blog formatter, but it's not an editor.
There is a blog and comment information scrapper which orders all group communications in date time order to
track who said what when (this is important for another project that should be a boon for the blockchain we are working on called AppstoOrgs). Note: The scrappers have will be key for direct customer and provider interaction. Please do not jump down my throat about privacy concerns because, not a sales app or shopping cart don't worry it's about passing non-personal, non-tracking requested information between parties that don't know they each have what the other needs)there is a condensed display that contains all communications in order with launches to the permalinks associated with them.
there is a classifier to review others blogs and bookmark by review how you want to deal with them (more on that when I show you it's really cool for people looking for resources)
Finally And have a submission scheduler we have been working on.... Think of it as SteemAuto on Steriods....
Less than a month till Alpha!
Well that's it for now... please join in Memeday this week and have a laugh every non-Steeminati member will receive a few upvotes from the brethern for a valid entry.

come on guys only 4 people (besides the Steeminati) have said they want to be alpha testers, I'd like to get to 20 to 30 at least....
