So far, a great number of applications, or tools that can considerably improve our user experience whether we are old users or new, has been created. The application directory created by @roelandp is accepted as an official directory that currently contains more than 80 various tools, mainly created by the community members, with a few official ones. The number of applications is growing rapidly, thanks to talented developers and other users, whose ideas are being converted into functional programs.
Here, I want to introduce you to an infographic that contains 17 very useful tools singled out and sorted into categories according to their use. The first category 'for new and old users' contains essential applications for most users, including applications such as the official chat server and block explorer, as well as a dedicated service for uninterrupted adding of photos, @jesta's tool for easier tracking of data related to your account, and a tool for real-time Steem Backed Dollar conversion, with a few extra applications included in the service.
The next group contains the applications essential for developers, led by @xeroc's piston which says for itself 'The Swiff Army Knife for the Steem network'. They facilitate the communication with the steem blockchain and there is also an application that facilitates the integration of Steem payments to your service.
The Miscellaneous group contains a variety of useful applications such as tools for curators, a precise browser of user reputation, a dedicated tool for creating shortened links with statistics, a Steem Stream display of all activity in real time with an option of adjusting your settings, as well as speech community and radio.
Last group are applications in the category of data and analytics that contain most of data about the network, the network activity and the users.
I apologize in advance if some of your favorite applications have been left out; if that is the case, you can always visit http://SteemTools.com which contains all the applications.
