SteemPlus 2.5 : Integration of Steemit More Info features

in #steemdev7 years ago (edited)

Steemit More Info is a great extension and I have a lot of respect for @armandocat and his work. He didn't show up for over five months however and the Steemit interface has changed since then.
Since his code is opensource, I have decided to fix it and integrate it into my extension SteemPlus. Our code structures being very different, this was a two men jobs for several weeks but we're finally done.

The major features have been implemented, read on to learn about them. Installation information at the end. SteemPlus is available on Chrome, Firefox and Opera.

The update will be live in less than an hour.

DISCLAIMER :

If you keep using both SteemPlus and Steemit More Info after the update, you might have some duplicate features. To fix that, either uninstall Steemit More Info (recommended) or go to SteemPlus settings (on the extension popup) and disable Steemit More Info features.

New features from SMI :

    can i get upvote and dollar for no reason @devfund @steem-plus

    Will it be updated to 2.5 automatically on firefox, or do I have to reinstall every new version?

    On Firefox I think that you need to update manually.
    Btw, it was buggy on Firefox, I just pushed a patch, version 2.5.0.3, available within an hour.

    Hey @stoodkev thank you so much for this! I've been waiting for this for a long time.

    It looks like there is one feature of SteemIt More Info that is not included in SteemPlus, and it's one that I particularly like - it makes the info shown at the bottom of the post like the tags, votes, and other buttons sticky so you can see them even before you scroll to the bottom of the post, here's an example:

    Screen Shot 2018-03-09 at 9.43.25 AM.png

    Hey, glad you like it!
    I will work on adding it ASAP =)

    This is hands down the best I have seen so far lol seriously, these features though lol I really like the slider bar.

    100 PERCENT.jpg

    Ooooh, now I understand this. Because most of the time you give less-percentage votes... I don't know why it was so hard to wrap my head around. Lol.

    Super nice! I hope one day the Firefox version lets me log into Steem+ with Steemconnect so that I can use the addon. :D

    Should work on Firefox starting with version 2.5.0.3, available within an hour.

    thats the feature I use most

    Wow amazing thanks for your hard work! This is exactly the kind of thing we've needed for a long time and good to see someone is actually doing something about it! I think if left to certain other people then Steemit would just meander along because of certain incentives or lack of incentives. Big thanks to @jerrybanfield as he gets it and knows user friendliness for Steemit is absolutely paramount and thanks for his budget allowing good for ALL here!

    hanks, very good post !!!!

    Awesome Work!

    Keep it up!!!

    @cryptoinvestinfo

    Ledger Wallet protects your bitcoins

    I can't logiiiiinnn :((( Steemconnect redirects me to https://steemit.com/@steem-plus?access_token=TOKEN&expires_in=604800&state=https%3A%2F%2Fsteemit.com%2F%40steem-plus&username=cryptosharon

    Then Steemit just loads the @steem-plus profile and the extension does nothing. :( I really wanted to try out the new stuff on Firefox.

    Firefox always has some bugs with native Chrome extensions, I ll take a look and see what I can fix. In the meantime, it works like a charm on Opera and Chrome.

    I can't use any of those :( I'm on a very slow computer and Chrome kills it. Firefox is the only light enough browser for me to use without my computer starting to roleplay as a brick.

    We ll try to fix it by next week

    Thanks, glad you like it! @jerrybanfield and @utopian-io sureley helped a lot!

    Thanks for fixing it! I can't wait to get home and try it. I have been having problems with Steemit more info and it has stopped working completely. Luckily, a friend referred me to steemnow.com/@username to see my stats.

    Glad you like it! Don't hesitate to give your feedback!

    Awesome development on the home page. SteemPlus looks too good, lots of features that makes navigating on steemit much easier. Thank you for this.

    Thanks! We re doing our best! =)

    May I ask what is the maximum load it can tolerate? In term of the number of visitors.

    Maximum load? It s an extension so it works locally.

    Thanks for this. I just tried to test it in firefox (latest win 10) and the plugin installed ok, but after I logged in to steemconnect, I am taken to your profile but I am not logged in. When I click on the plugin icon in firefox I just see the same login button and no matter if I login again, the plugin never recognises the fact.

    Hi, indeed we seem to have some issues with Firefox, that didn't show up in developement mode, I guess it s because of the use of Chrome Foxified, I ll do my best to make it work in the coming week!

    Should work on Firefox starting with version 2.5.0.3, available within an hour.

    This is awesome!! I didn’t know anything like this was available. I will download the chrome extension and check out all the new features!! Thanks for the hard work and great update!! Resteem

    Hope you checked it out and liked it! Happy steeming!
