RE: Travel Digest #155 - Did you miss us? We missed all of you!
Happy to have you back! Fastcurate looks like a super awesome tool!
Quick question: I have been tagging all my short photo posts on the world map since I joined Steemit because I love to have a map with all my photos but now I realise that these short posts kind of spam your curation, so should I only use the steemitworldmap code snipped on my more extensive travel posts (at least two photos)?
Glad to be back for sure! Yeah, it should make it a lot easier!
Oh no, no worries at all, I mean after all every user of the map is kind of making their own map through their author-link.
Of course those posts are less likely to make it into the digest, but that's our job not yours! The Fastcurate should make it all go a bunch smoother (atm we manually open all the posts that were added to the map on a given day in separate tabs, which at times can go as high as 200posts)!
200 posts sounds like a crazy lot of work, with travelfeed we are doing about 20-30 a day currently and even that takes quite some time!
Heh, yeah, it can get a bit crazy at times! It's why it's so important I started working on a tool to lessen the workload some!
I think on average it's between 100 - 150 with a drop off now with the two week break!
I am sure the tool will help a lot, it looks amazing! I can't imagine how difficult it has to be to develop it, I am studying computer science but I only have a very basic understanding of how to grab data from the Steem blockchain
I've been using SteemSQL to extract the postbody, and then made some improvements to a markdown to html jQuery plugin that already existed. That combined made it relatively easy to get out the postbody!
SteemSQL sounds interesting, but the subscription fee would be too high for me to just play around with it. I'm testing out Steem Python at the moment since I have this idea for a bot for travelfeed; it won't be an UI but will save a lot of time with the curation by automating some tasks
