I recently came across that @jerrybanfield post explaining his budget proposal system and though it could be a great idea to grow the SteemPlus extension faster.

What is SteemPlus?

Steemplus is a lightweight Chrome/Opera/Firefox extension adding much needed features to Steemit (and mspsteem) and Busy.

Currently the features are as follow:

Available on Steemit and Busy

• Voting slider for minnows (you do not need to vote at 100% anymore!)
• True value of your account on your wallet (calculated with current SBD and STEEM market prices)
• Delegation button in your wallet (with list of delegatees and undelegate button)
• One click switch between Steemit and Busy (Shift+Alt+B) and Steemit and Steemd (Ctrl+Alt+D)

Available on Steemit (and mspsteem)

• Feed+ : Filter your feed by tags, resteems (hide, show, blacklist, whitelist), reputation and sort it by upvotes/date/payout
• STEEM/USD and SBD/USD values in the user dropdown
• Option to add beneficiaries to your post (you can say that 10% of your post payout will go to one of your friends for example)
• Cool badges on user profiles show their rank: Plankton, Minnow, Dolphin, Orca and Whales

You can find the detail of all these features in the SteemPlus v2 announcement post.

I just released the v2 that gets rid of all private keys and fully integrate with SteemConnect and started to get a nice traction (from 170 to 220 users in 2 days and growing).

I have so many ideas for the new features, including:

• Integration with Utopian-1UP
• Integration of Steemit More Info (it is not maintained anymore and some features bug)
• Make all features available on Busy
• Direct witness vote from Steemit/Busy profiles
• much more surprises

... but there is only so much time I can allocate to this, hence my budget request.

Budget

400 STEEM could help speeding up the development and visibility of the extension as follow:

• 200 STEEM for bounties (mostly for developers and to promote the extension. I believe that it can help many people enhance their Steem experience but the adoption is still very limited).
• 200 STEEM that I will transfer to fiat to hire a part-time. I can easily find students that will be happy to work part-time for some good money and speed up the development. Of course, I will try to convince them to keep STEEM rather than cashing it out, but I can't guarantee that.

Conclusion

Mostly, I want to make SteemPlus better, faster (stronger?) and of course more visible in the platform. Feel free to ask any question in the comments or by DM on Discord at @stoodkev.

Thank you!
