I had another idea yesterday and just had to dive straight in and try and build the thing. Here’s what I’ve got so far. Steemversary! I thought it would be a cool idea to see who’s steemversary (e.g years since they made their account) it was every day, and then people could reward those users who are still active.
You can see stee-versary online here
Steemversay displays all the accounts that were created exactly one year ago today then ranks them in order of “most recent activity” first. Currently, I am using last top level post as a sign of activity but will change it if anyone has better suggestions.
My first thought was to allow visitors (with deeper pockets than me ) to the site to send a steemversary present (SBD sent to their account with a memo). More interesting than just sending SBD would be to have a steemversary bot that gives recent posts from the active steemians a nice boost. Visitors could delegate a small amount of SP so the bot can be useful. Both of those are a little out of my steem-js knowledge level right now, going to figure those out next. Any thoughts on those options, do you think they would be useful/interesting?
For now I thought visitors could click through to steemit and check out the Steemians directly themselves.
**Any thoughts on the name of this thing steem-versay, steem-birthday, just steem-day? **
This project is built with steem-js and steemSQL web api from @emptyname. The steem web api made this super fast to develop! My code needs some work. Everything runs from the front-end only, it’s a little unnecessary so perhaps a back-end that can cache the data on a daily basis would speed up load-times. I could also switch to running the SteemSQL wrapper locally and save the web requests. For now, I am making requests out to the SQL API that has a slight delay in processing.
Let me know what you think of steem-versary?

Super cool idea!
Glad you like, I'm going to see if I can figure out how to make the bot that can upvote people
