Steemit Pond [Version 2] – A Real-Time Visualization of Steemit Activity: Added tx types, user filters, sound, bug fixes…

Steemit Pond is back and a bit busier with added activity types, custom user filters, sound, and bug fixes...

Thanks to the Steemit community for the support and feedback on the initial Steemit Pond release. You provided some fantastic feedback.

I have been on vacation recently, but I managed to take a vacation from my vacation to code V2 which I am happy to present.

Steemit Pond Now Includes:

Additional Steemit Activity Types:

Steemit Pond V1 included only 4 activity types:

• Top level posts
• Comments on existing posts
• Upvotes
• Down votes

Steemit Pond Version 2 increases pond activity by introducing several additional types:

• New accounts
• Account updates
• Miner rewards
• STEEM transfers
• Limit orders

New activities are better explained by the updated Steemit Pond legend

User Filters:

You are now able to visualize the activity of a specific or multiple user(s) by adding user filters. Just open the User Filters menu…

Input the user name and transactions corresponding to that user will render as divers in the Steemit Pond. Reference the legend above for further details on user filters.

Added Sound:

The Steemit Pond browsing experience is now enhanced with aquatic sounds. By default, sound is off, but sound is easily toggled with the click of a button.

Improved Appearance:

Improved pond images, menus, usability

Bug Fixes:

V1 contained an iOS bug that resulting in the viewport being expanded as pond elements exited the screen. This resulted in erratic scrolling and some pond elements never coming into the viewable area. Version 2 fixes this.

Check out the newly improved Steemit Pond Version 2!

A special thanks again to @roelandp for inspiring the Steemit Pond idea and @pharesim for steemjs, a library used for interfacing with the steemd database.
