NEW VERSION AVAILABLE:
https://steemit.com/steemdev/@armandocat/steemit-more-info-1-2-chrome-extension-firefox-extension
A simple Steemit extension that shows more info on steemit.com
If you use steemit.com, you may have notice that it is lacking a lot of functionalities.
That's why you need to use tools like https://steemd.com/, https://steemdb.com/, https://steemstats.com/, https://www.steemnow.com/, ...
A lot of tools!
So why another tool???
Because this is a Chrome and Firefox extension that you install on your browser, and then all the informations you need will be available to you directly on steemit.com!
Please take into consideration that this is a new project that I just started, and the features are limited to just a few so far! I'm planning to add more and more features in the next versions. Every suggestion and idea is very much appreciated!
This is version 1.1 with some bug fixes and a few 
features added
Features
In the profile page of any account, you will see a Vote Power indicator on top (next to the name and the reputation), with the reward that a 100% vote from that user will give in SBD ($)
In the profile page of any account, you will see the number of votes that user has done today
- A new tab 'Votes' is added, where you may see the latest upvotes done or received by that user.
It shows the estimate of the votes in $ too!
You can filter the votes between incoming votes and outgoing votes
- Added a dropdown menu with links to external tools to get more info about the steem account. Please let me know what tools you'd like to see here ;)
When you click upvote and the Vote Weight slider appears, not only you see the percentage of the vote, but you also see the amount in $ that upvote will be valued
- When you are looking at a post or comment and you click "votes" to see the list of people that voted that post, you now also see what was their contribute to the total reward!
- You can see the posts with two different layouts: list (default) and grid! You can change to grid layout using on the buttons on the top-right corner of the page.
On the blog page of an user, you now see an histogram of the posts of that user based on the creation date. You can scroll horizontally to go back in time.
Posts made by the user are shown in blue, reposts in green!
By clicking on one of the bars, you can open the list of posts made on one specific date. This makes it easier to look at old posts of an user!
You can choose to show the histogram automatically on page load (default) or if you prefer to load the histogram on request if you find it to be too invasive. To change this setting, hover on the histogram title and select "On load: hidden"
The followers and following pages have been updated to show a table of the followers/following, with more informations (Reputation, STEEM Power, Upvote Worth). You can sort by the different attributes by clicking on the table's column.
- When you read a post, now there is a floating bar with the tags, date, author and upvotes of the post, so you can easily access this informations and upvote the post if you like it!
- The markdown editor used to write new posts now shows the preview at the right side of the editor. While you write the post, if you scroll through your textual content, the preview will automatically scroll to the right point. This feature is available for screens with at least 900px width
Future development
I'm planning to add more features like:
- Setting page to enable/disable features
- COMING SOON: Trending of up to 5 favorite tags in one page. You select your favorite tags and you'll see the list of the top trending of all the tags combined in one list. I'm not releasing this feature yet because it still has some bugs.
- Notifications, for instance if somebody replies on one of your posts or comments, if you get an upvote, ...
- A page with some graphs of the stats of the account
- A "witnesses" tab where you can see the witnesses the user is voting for
- Working on my own API, such as mentions notification, followers by date of follow operation, posts reposted by others, ...
- ...
Privacy - Do I steal your data?
I do not access your private keys. The only way I could do it, is if you go to your wallet page and click on "show private key". But I don't do it!
Should you trust me? Well, I believe is better not to trust anyone. That's why the source code of the extension is available on github and you can (and you are encourage to) look and study it!
The way it works is by scraping the webpage and the url of the page you are looking at to extract your username and the username of the user you are looking at. Then it uses steem-js to get informations about that user.
This process doesn't involve any private key! In fact, you can see informations of other users as well, even if you obbiuvsly don't know their private keys.

Bugs and new features requests
Please feel free to comment here or contact me on steemit.chat if you have suggestions or features requests!
Please help me spread the word by resteem and upvote this post!
I'm doing this project in my free time. The more interest I get from the community, the more I'll be devoted to improve it!
So if you like this project, help me in letting everyone know about it.
And follow me! I will post any update on this extension and other projects I'll work on! And you will also see some beautiful picture about myself 😹🐾
Thanks!
@armandocat I love your extension which is why I also need to tell you the two new updates are awful at least as a first impression! The vote bar pinned to the bottom feels weird and gets in the way. The post being shown to the side was so obnoxious I disabled the extension for hours today. Ideally each feature would have an on/off switch in the settings to allow us to customize our experience because just one feature we do not like can prevent us from using the entire extension!
Sorry to hear that.. next version will have a settings page where each feature can be enabled/disabled. Please consider the extension is relatively new and of course it needs fixes 😼
@armandocat AWESOME I am very excited in the next version we will get a feature to enable or disable certain parts! I am using the extension now and love it!
I love this extension and I think on/off buttons would be a great idea! I love watching steem projects like this one because they improve all the time. Great job @armandocat
Awesome...Updates are a good thing...anyone make any suggestions to split the Redeem Rewards to seperate them to not have to claim as batch or grouped...just a thought..thanks and keep up the great work dev...
Amazing update! This makes your tool really my number one choice for addons and 3rd party apps. Thanks for the Firefox integration which so far came to short for Steemit extensions.
I found a little but in Firefox using your new Markdown editor 2-culomn style:
As you can see on the left there is a white area covering most part of the editor. When I expand the editor further down it reveals more of the text.
I will make a Steemy episode about this tool today. Great work!
I think I fixed it, but Firefox needs to review the new versions and is taking so long! Hope the new version can be approved soon!
I recently reposted about the tampermonkey scripts ("Hide/Show ReSTEEMS", "Post Vote Slider", and "Vote Past Payout") I had written a few months back, and @ironshield directed me to this extension you made. It's definitely a lot heavier than mine (of course, with very different goals in mind as well).
However, I just wanted to say it looks like a tremendous piece of work you've put together here, not to mention you also released the complete source code already on github so that those of us who are more "security conscious" would also be more comfortable trying it out. I'm normally not a big fan of STEEMIT chrome extensions, but you sir have presented a compelling case to consider it!
Oh yes, and your cats looks adorable too! :)

Nice one :)
This is amazing, thank you!
thank you!
I like this creation of yours but I'm so hesitant to use these addons at the fear of being vulnerable to giving someone full access to my accounts... i mean shxx, look at what happened to @craig-grant
Thanks a lot!
Much needed STEEM functionality.
Wonderful I just downloaded the update and did a tutorial showing how to use it on YouTube!
Are you going to post that on your profile too? That would be helpful to reach more people 😼
Of course he did :) That's what he is saying :P
Loool. The tool is amazing for the Steemit platform. If I have time I can help you out with front end.
Yes I will do that soon!
I'm proud to say that @armandocat is a member of the Italian community on Steemit which I talked to you some time ago @jerrybanfield
Wow! Thank you man! Appreciate it! 😸
Thanks you for this update, I had the old version and it should enter to Debug and add it manual, now it's official on Add-on for firefox so it's more easier.
Also great job for the new update dropdown.
Thank's again.. Upvoted 100% to support your project.
this is such an amazing development
ive been wanting something like this and i am glad its now available in an extension form
I am using this extension and i find it a great resource.
Great update with great additions as always! 🙂
Every single one is great for itself, but if I would have to pick only one - it would be the "Links!"
Regarding the "Floating bar with the tags, date, author, and upvotes" - my suggestion would be (if it possible) an option to hide what might be useful in cases when writers post some larger photos or e.g. Blog Graphic - the image which common size is 800 x1200 px, just to reduce the covered part and be able to see it as much as possible.
When it comes to other links I would like to see listed under the "Links," here is my wish and suggestion list:
This is a great suggestion. Glad you thought of it.
Thank you, @joalvarez! 😊
super post i like it
Its amazing your tool, can i post the translate to spanish????
Yes 😼 Thanks
Here are the translate: https://steemit.com/spanish/@michelcamacaro/steemit-more-info-1-1-chrome-extension-firefox-extension-espanol-traduccion Thank again!
Hi @armandocat,
This is some really good stuff you're doing for the Steemit community and the markdown preview feature from this version tops the list.
Thank you so much :)
You should talk to @steemit and @steemitblog (and the Steemit team) about integrating some of these features directly into the website!
Thanks! I don't know how I could contact them, but I'll be happy to help!
I'm not completely sure, but there might be people on steemit.chat who could help (or try to contact @ned directly).
Also, for the markdown preview scrolling (where the preview scrolls to where I scroll in the markdown), it doesn't seem to be working for macOS Sierra + Chrome :)
this really is an amazing little tool (with so much positive effects), I have installed it and I am loving it...
Will write an article to promote this for sure...
upvoted and followed
here is the post I wrote about it by the way, hope you approve
https://steemit.com/howto/@felander/howto-make-your-steemit-experience-so-much-better
Awesome work again, can't wait for the settings page ^_^
Getting some wacky stuff going on in this one!
happens when you load the extension twice, close the page and open it again.
Strange! Do you have the extension installed twice?
Maybe the old version and the new
Oh yeah, nice observation without even seeing! I had the old plus the 'official'. I'm gonna assume it's all good then. AGAIN
Awesome work! Thankyou
Thanks alott @armandocat for this amazing extension, this is a big setup for steemit world .I hope it will soon be integrated into the steemit.com platform.
@armandocat could you add that the steem page to put in night mode?
Is that the white background really affects me a lot in the view.
I had made a post with some suggestions, I do not know if they help or would like to take them into account.

Nice extension, even though i doubt i won't use most features.
Great tool! Good job!! I am ready to rock this baby. Well done! I couldn't help it: I have resteemed this useful post, upvoted it, and followed you. Thanks for all your effort in proving value to this amazing steemit community.
Thanks for your update. I will open my Chrome Browser right now to update the extension at once. And I am a Translator. Is it possible for me to translate this awesome post to my friend in Steemit? I think the Indonesian Steemit Community must know about this information. Have a nice day my friend.
Regard from Aceh, Indonesia.
@bahagia-arbi
Of course, thanks! Just please send them here before download 😼
I put the link in my comment, you mean? OK..I will.
I have to share the contens of my translations before I post to my blog (steemit)?...Okey...hehe
Thank you @armandocat, this is by far the best steemit extension yet. I have to admit, it's a little bit like a wish-list come true. Lifting the veil of the behind-the-scenes of steemit.
May I have your permission to write a promotion post also? I would like to use the image of your beautiful red Norwegian cat too, if I may. @ironshield
Yes of course 😹

Wow! Phenomenal tool, man. Great work. Really extends the limited steemit interface.
This so great. Thank you a lot @armandocat for this development. I always wanted to use these kinds of tools. Very creative
a little problem I found in firefox. it seems the text area is limited to a small size. tested on two versions of firefox.
is it only me?
Thanks for the info.. I'm going to look into it
This is so cool. I've reviewed the Chrome extension
This thing is awesome!
Oh Yea!! Dude...LOVE THIS ADD ON!!! Thank You!!!
VOTED RESTEMED!!!

Great contribution @armandocat!!! :)
OMG! This is a game changer! Thank you so much!
Was sent here by @stackin (so thanks to you too! 😍)
I'm particularly excited about the markdown editor and preview being side by side. Awesome.
😍😍😍
I find this tools very useful. Upvoted and resteemed.
The best extension for steemit on chrome! Thanks for getting it onto the chrome store.
This is so cool, cannot wait for my new laptop to arrive to install it!
Interesting, I mostly use mobile, but when I am on PC this will come in handy :)
Fantastic update. Can't wait to get onto my computer and install it tonight.
Thank you for your good work!

I am using steemit in mobile from chrome. How to install this tool in mobile.
Amazing updates, can't wait for the new ones...
Great work man....
Looks pretty useful, thanks for this!
Thanks for sharing the positive info about Steemit!
thank you this is really cool. When taking a closer look, I now understand why I am only gathering votes and no steem! because all the followers have no VP.
Great job, thank you so much!! Upvoted and resteemed. Awesome. Followed you @armandocat
