Integration of Steemit More Info features #7 : Followers Table
Today, we've finished the integration of one of the most useful features from Steemit More Info, the followers table. It transforms the basic Steemit follower page into a powerful tool that allows you to sort your followers and followees as you see fit.
Read on to see what these features do, the bonus feature I've included, what were the challenges to be overcome and what future feature it inspired me to code.
New Features
- Upon click to either of the Followers of Following page, or reloading one of those, SteemPlus will load the user's list of Followers/Followees and call the blockchain to get their reputation, SteemPower and upvote worth
- Pagination can be changed
- There is a searchbar to look directly for a user
It is a very powerful tool that allows you to get more details on followers.
I ve added a new column Action that will only trigger when you are on your OWN account's follower/following page and that will add a Follow/Unfollow button , convenient to follow your followers, or unfollow your followees, for example based on their reputation.
In this example, I can see that @klye is following me, and I do know that he's creating good content, so why the hell am I not following him? ^^Just a click and it's done (otherwise I would have had to open a new tab to follow him).
Challenges
It was one of the most challenging features from SMI to implement so far and it took us several days to figure it out, for these reasons:
- I didn't like the way the list of followers was scrapped from the React DOM, so I decided to call the blockchain instead.
- SteemJs can only return batches of 100 followers so we had to loop the whole thing
- It takes time to iterate this way, it is okay for a few thousands of followers/followees but no more. Trying on @aggroed account it took nearly 30 seconds to complete. For this reason, I will implement in the future a fastest way (but not real time) using the data stored in SteemData. Users will be able to switch between accurated data or fast data.
Coming soon
- All Steemit More Info features will be fixed an included in here.
- Next one will be the detailed Following/Followers Panel (+ Integration with SteemConnect for fast unfollow)
- Let me know what you want to see next
- These will be available in the Chrome Store only when all features are ready

nice feature!
You can actually pull up 1000 followers in one call using steemjs, that's what I use in my extension and it's working ;)
steem.api.getFollowers(username, lastFollower, 'blog', 1000, cb)I opened a suggestion on Utopian ;)
Tks a lot! That is so weird, I ve tried with several hundreds and it was not working, but now it's working for 1000. Even weirder, it seems not to be working with
getFollowinggetFollowing should be working the same, if you look at the steem api source code, you can see that the limit is set to 1000 as well, so theoretically it should work, now I haven't tried this method as I don't need it...
It seemed to be capped at 100 in steem-python. At least it used to.
That's great, that's really wonderful. You have integrated the features for the following/followers table and that is awesome as a steemians point of view. Now it will be easier to view not only the steem power but also the upvote worth. And not only that your have introduced a n action option that will help you know which ones of your followers are following you back and which ones are not.
This is intriguing and seriously I think it's one of the best modifications of steemit. Thank you. Cheers
Thanks for the update.
Are these updates Live now?? Or coming soon?
I don't see these options on my computer.
I will release all of the features coming from the Steemit More Info extension at the same time, probably next week
Thanks!
