Introduction

It’s another write-up again and I will like to use this medium to round up my discussion on the steemplus features. With frequenting the steemplus github platform, I noticed a new change. The wonderful developer @stoodkev is back at it. He is still looking forward to boosting the capability of the extension, hence made an update.

But for the moment, let me round up with the features which are still quite a significant number. Continuing with my previous posts, below are the wonderful features of the extension.

Features of the Extension

The features of the extension are not only wonderful. They are also suitable for use on various platforms. As with the constant updates that are still coming up, it would be possible to be on more platforms. A very important notice that I didn’t stress on in my previous post was this.

If you wish to use this extension, it is better advisable to make use of Chrome. This is due to the fact that it works very well on the browser and straightforward. Also, it is much easier and less stressful to download it from the Chrome Store. Having said that, these are the current features for the meantime:

A. SteemBoard Trophies.

Wow, this is a very wonderful aspect or feature of this great extension. I’m very sure that a lot of you have gotten trophies on the Steem platform but can’t view it. This great extension has brought all you trophies to your door step. Now, you can view the trophies earned or your neighbours own. Isn’t it beautiful having your trophies collection? If you don’t think so, I do. Kudos once more to the developers led by @stoodkev. You are the man.

B. Beneficiaries.

I call this “Bless your friends too”. The ability to choose who you wish to enjoy from your posts is such a great idea. Sometimes when using this extension, I have thoughts. I relate how these wonderful brains thought of all these.

Now, after creating such a nice post, you can add up those you wish to gain some blessing from your post. You don’t need to begin transferring SBD to a friend. That friend of yours can get it straight from the post after the pay-out. Very less stress free.

C. Offline Mode.

The developers of the extension did well to shorten the steps for one to use the features of this extension. A great decision I would call it. For me, I don’t enjoy long process to do a thing and many of you will agree to that too.

Most people who are stuck in a place with low network coverage would take hours to get to a platform. Due to long processes, this is very tedious but with this great feature, it reduces it. Now, there are a lot of features of this extension you don’t need to login using Steem Connect to access.

D. Badge Display for Ranks.

For every rank, there now exist a visible badge attached to it. Hence, without even going to see the rank, you can know what rank the person is. Now, some people may actually feel this is not a necessary feature. Yet, when you try it out, you would see the extra colour the extension gives to your display. Every feature this extension has adds a good display to your view. As I have said before, this is a perfect and great idea.

E. Markdown Visualizer.

As I had said in my first post, a browser extension is an extension as others. But can only be a good one when it enhances and makes easy the performance of the browser. This great extension has and is still making everything on the blockchains easier. With this superb feature, all you do is paste your write-up in the space and it displays side by side.

It is easier and better to make your adjustments and edits when it is in this position. The reason for this is due to the normal way it is on the Steem platform. Where you have to scroll down and up while making edits. For this reason, I never stop using the extension. Hence, I still use it despite the 1% automatic Steemplus beneficiary.

F. Votes Tab.

Another great aspect of this extension is the votes tab which they had added. This is a great feature where you see both the incoming and outgoing votes. For some people, this is a necessity and for feel, the feature is cool.

It makes it possible for you to see the upvotes you made and those you received from whoever. These information are very detailed and arranged in a neat pattern. Another great work of these dedicated developers.

G. Mentions Tab.

Every mention made by someone on your username signifies two things. Those are either the person wishes to sell you or the person respect you a great deal. Hence, with this wonderful tab added to the features of this platform, you are better informed. Now, you can see who had mentioned you either in comments or posts or the both of them. I would say that is a great initiative and kudos to @stoodkev.

H. Followers List.

Your followers and followees i.e. those that you are following are being listed in a tab. This tab comes with a neat arrangement and gives a good feel. Also, there are concrete information that is being listed alongside their names. Hence, this gives you the ability to choose your friends.

As well, you have the ability to weigh and choose those you wish to unfollow. The information given by the extension in this tab includes these. First, the reputations are being displayed. This helps you know if it is necessary to follow such person.

Again, the person’s Steem Power is being displayed and last of all, the value of the vote. Most people check out for this to know how their neighbour is faring and if to make adjustments. This makes it possible for your profile to be in a good arrangement or to a certain taste. Everything is in your power with only a click.

I. The Witness Tab.

Making use of the extension grants you a witness tab where a lot of information are being displayed for you. You can see the witnesses which are currently voted and choose if you wish, to unvote them. You also have the ability to add a new user vote but it requires user validation would.

When going through a witness profile, you have the ability to see extra details. You can as well search and sort the received witness votes.

J. GIF Picker.

At the beginning where I said the developers are wonderful, this is another feature I was talking of. The ability to choose a GIF straight from your device when making a post. The developers have made it possible that when you are making a post, this is possible.

By clicking on the GIF button as shown in the image above, you access your device. Hence, every GIF on your device is being displayed and you go boom. To those who haven’t tried this great extension out, I would recommend you giving it a try.

K. Steem Sincerity.

I had to send this feature to the end because it is so funny but great though. The extension has the ability to classify users on the blockchains. This ability is being extended through the Steem, Utopian, Steemd, Busy. This classification is the grouping of the users into Human, Bots, Spammer and Pending. I am sure that some of you have come across the spammers before without knowing well. You may have the feeling that such person is a spammer but you won’t be sure. I myself have had the experience before. Finally when I began using the extension, I had to go back to that my post and check the comment and found out my result. The extension has made this possible as you can now see the classification of your neighbour. You can now know if your follower is a spammer or one of the other categories.

Conclusion

In my last posts in this series, I talked of a whole new feeling of the blockchains platforms. These are the exact feelings I was talking of.

With the above features, the Steemplus extension gives a whole new feeling. This applies when making use of it on any of the platforms. With ease, you can put in place the above features. You can also make huge additions or deals without wasting much time.

I have at the moment concluded this chapter of the series. Also, I would make a continuation as the updates unfold. Hence, I now drop my pen and hope that we all will join me enjoy the benefits of this great extension. Welcome once more to the club.
