RE: SteemWatch Update 2017-09-13
Hey @void, I just discovered Steemwatch yesterday and it worked fine for a few happy hours. Just wanted to tell you this, when people are bugging you for new features or complaining that the service is not up, basically the only thing they are telling you is that you have made something awesome, something very valuable and something they didn't know they needed, but now are really missing it when it's not always there.
It's our sense of entitlement that directs us to say things that make you wanna ditch the service entirely. Please, pretty please, don't listen to our ramblings, we humbly apologize.
We're just all big fans of the thing you've developed.
(btw, most of us, like me can't tell whether your lines were written elegantly or not, the majority here have no coding skills)
Thank you.
I am a bit calmer now that I hopefully managed to fix the most critical issues and don't feel like I have to be online 24/7 to be able to restart SteemWatch every time it gets stuck or starts lagging too much behind the current block :-)
Just remember that you have no obligation whatsoever to keep a certain service online or not. You created it in your free time to begin with. Even when people tell you they expect a certain performance, you are not their servant. If a certain performance is required by someone, he should simply clone your repo and implement improvements or else just shut up.
But I'm glad it's back and seems to be running smoothly. It's absolutely a valuable addition to the Steem ecosystem.
Cheers!
