STEEM Philippines Curation Tool

STEEM Philippines Curation Tool

This a curation tool specifically created for STEEM Philippines Manila curator team.

Background

@steemph.manila is a group of Manila-based curators whose aim is to curate undervalued posts of authors from Manila. They have a list of authors who are based in Manila.

In one of the messages from one of its curators ( @monkeypattycake ) on how she curates, this developer assessed that curating manually can partially be automated, specifically extracting posts to select which one to curate.

Currently, @steemph.manila creates a daily and weekly featured posts such as this.

Prior to this tool, the curators had to manually check each author's feed and check their posts.
OR check the community account's feed and curate from there.
OR go to a certain tag (i.e., #steemph) and check if an author is from Manila and curate that post.

This project aims to simplify the curation efforts for STEEM Philippines (not just for Manila) by developing a tool that will extract all posts from a list of authors within a certain date range that contains certain tags.

Pull Requests

Unfortunately, I can only attach up to three PRs to this contribution. Here's the list of all PRs related the features mentioned above.

• added add-user.php API -
• Moved 'add-user' API to /web; added get-users and delete-users API
• Feature/remove user from list
• Feature/add search function #1
• Feature/add search function #2

Others

I looked for existing tools using SteemTools and SteemProjects but I couldn't find one that had the features I needed (i.e., search for multiple authors and tags, simple layout).

The closest I was able to see was https://autosteem.learnthis.ca/, but it didn't do what I think the team needs. Also, it had too many features that the team doesn't need.
