Several months have passed since I published this tool and the feedback I have received has been amazing. And I am pleased that many people use it and it helps them.
What is Steem Activity? A common problem among Steemit users (and especially the minnows) is that we post at times where our followers may not be online. Steem activity is a tool that shows you the voting activity of your followers (last 4 weeks) in order to know the best hours to publish. In this order, there are more possibilities to be visible and be voted.
Improvements
Below I describe the improvements made to the webpage.
Calculation of SBD instead of votes
Before, Steem Activity made bar graphs only by counting the number of votes deposited in each hour of the day. The problem with this calculation is that there was no difference between a minnow and a whale: If a minnow voted there was a +1 like a +1 of a whale. Although this is an incentive that the best moments are those where more people are connected and active, the truth is that it is more important to give weight to the votes that have more value.
In this order, now the tool calculates the total amount of SBD that the followers give voting and it shows it distributed in hours and days of the week.
Select the number of weeks
Now you can select the number of weeks that you want to compute. It has the last week by default, and you can select up to 4 weeks.
Use of space
The previous page did not take advantage of the spaces. The graphics were small and there were many blank spaces. Now the graphs are distributed in 2 lines, they are bigger and closer.
Bugs and fixes
- The official API of steemit suffered some changes and we needed to reconfigure this connection.
- Handling of errors when requesting data to the blockchain.
- Sometimes there was repeated lines when the best 4 moments were showed. Now they are unique and well sorted.
Translation
The page support 3 languages: English, French (special thanks to @roxane) and Spanish.

Excellent work! I will pass this on to people who asked me that exact question. My best answer was, "Try it and find out!", Now they at least have some metric to count on :-)

Excelente herramienta, la verdad no conocía de su existencia, es importante conocerla ya que nos permitirá optimizar el alcance de nuestros publicaciones al hacerlas visibles para nuestro seguidores publicándolas en el momento en que ellos se conectan con más frecuencia, soy programador y me gustaría aprender a programar en la API de Steemit ¿que documentación me recomiendas?
Hay una serie de posts muy interesantes de @jfollas, te dejo el link donde hace recapitulación de todos los capítulos: https://steemit.com/steemdev/@jfollas/write-a-steemit-web-app-part-14-recap.
Este tutorial de él es muy interesante porque va realizando una aplicación a la vez que te explica los pormenores de steem. Cualquier consulta respecto a la programación me puedes escribir. Un saludo.
