People have been asking me for a while if they could use SteemPlus on Busy, the answer is now Yes!
After installing this update, you will access the following features on Busy:
Chose your voting weight as a minnow and keep an eye on your voting power.
Switch instantly between Busy and Steemit (Alt Shift B) or Steemit and Steemd (Alt Shift D) thanks to those shortcuts.
You can get more details on these features and on how to install SteemPlus on my previous post or just read it below:
# New features #Busyfy
You can now directly switch between a Steemit page and its mirror on Busy thanks to a keyboard shortcut. On Opera and Firefox, the default shortcut (Shift+Alt+E) applies, but in Chrome you will need to set it up.For Chrome users, navigate to your extension page, and on the bottom of the page, click "Keyboard Shortcuts", then you can chose your own shortcut for witching between Steemit and Busy.
Steemdify
Same feature with Steemd.
The default keyboard is (Shift+Alt+D) and it also works both ways.New Feed+ features
As previously announced, you can now chose how many posts from your feed are taken into consideration by the feed+ algorithm.
You can also decide to hide the posts you have already voted for.Old features
Feed+
The new feed+ tab lets you filter (by tag/resteem/reputation) and sort the posts (time/payout/votes) from you feed.
As you can see, once the extension updated/installed, a new feed+ tab is added directly to your Steemit usual page. After clicking the 'feed+' tab, a loading page will appear and start loading the 300 previous posts from your feed. If you have a decent connection and the node is stable, it should take 10-15 seconds. All the subsequent filtering and sorting operation are realized nearly instantly. I will make the number of posts loaded a parameter in the future, so that you can change it in function of your patience and the number of posts you want to see.
Anyways after these few seconds, this is what you get:
As you can see, I did my best to respect Steemit's style for displaying the posts and a new menu appeared on the right side of your feed. Let's check it out:
Sort By
Once the posts loaded, you can sort them nearly instantly thanks to this option.In the previous screenshot, the posts were sorted by Payout (the biggest pending payout first); but you can also sort by number of upvotes, or chose to see the most recent/old first.
Filters
Filter by Tag
Very straightforward but useful, here you can chose to see all posts regardless of their tag or chose to see only posts including at least one of the tags from your list. Tags need to be separated by a single space.
It doesn't need to be the main tag, just one of the five.Filter the Resteems
Regarding the resteems, it works the same than in SteemPlus 1.2, you can either:
- Show all Resteems
- Hide all Resteems
- Blacklist: Hide all resteems from the users in the list (separated by a single space). You can add directly users to the blacklist from the feed or their profile.
- Whitelist: Hide all resteems except from the users in the list (separated by a single space). You can add/remove users to this list directly from their profile.
Others
This is the house of the reputation filter, that does a great job at filtering low quality content!
Much more filters to come here in the coming weeks!
Still here to help the minnows chose their voting weight, the extension popup can be found in the right top of you browser, by clicking on the SteemPlus logo.Enter your ID, Private Posting WIF and desired voting weight and you're good to go!
A word about safety : the private posting WIF is stored locally so I can't gain access to your account. However, never trust anyone in the Internet, disable automatic update or even better, install SteemPlus in developer mode from Github.
Anyways, once you are set, click on the time the post/comment you want to upvote was posted '... ago', it will change the url in top of your browser, then click Upvote.
You can also keep track of your Voting Power there.
More functionalities to come in this popup ;)
Future Work
- Add 'Sort by Cheerleader/Idol' to Feed+ (Show the ones that upvoted you the most/ that you upvoted the most first).
- Community filter (TBD)
- Cheetah filter
- Make SteemPlus work with Busy
