RE: SteemWorld ~ Weekly Support ~ #2

in #steemworld6 years ago (edited)

Although I do not always understand all the refinements and additional tools, I do appreciate all you do and I've resteemed, in the hope you get a few extra upvotes from there.

I decided I want to make a list of all my posts, with the links, so I went as far back as I could on my Blog page. When I found it refused to go further back than 8 months, I thought, okay, why not check if SteemWorld will help me.

Of course I looked at "Recent Posts" and kept on clicking on "Show More Results"

I guess you know what the results were, but I wanted to ask 2 questions:

Is it really impossible to go back to my very first post (Sept 2017)

and

When I've reached the last post SteemWorld can recover, would it not make more sense for the "Show More Results " to fade out, so that the user knows there is no point on clicking again?

.
You may not hear from me very often (don't want to make a nuisance of myself) but I use SteemWorld every day and I am grateful for all the hard work you've put into it. I've told a number of people about it and I hope some of them are using it. :)

Thanks for your comment @arthur.grafo!

Is it really impossible to go back to my very first post (Sept 2017)?

There is a limit (100) for the Steem API function that I use and the input parameters (start_permlink, date) are not working correctly. When I've parsed and stored all post data in my own database I can load the posts from there and it will be possible to see all of them on SteemWorld.

When I've reached the last post SteemWorld can recover, would it not make more sense for the "Show More Results " to fade out, so that the user knows there is no point on clicking again?

This will also work as expected when I've changed the script to load the data from my server instead of the nodes. May still take a few weeks...

That's like magic - don't smile :)

One of the main reasons I joined Steemit was because of the chainblock ensuring what I post cannot be removed, meaning somebody might discover my writing 50 years from now and enjoy reading...then I find that even from now I cannot recover my posts - unless I have the links. My idea was, copy all the links sequentially and then post them once a year until I die. Maybe, another idea, is to open a normal site and post the links there, enabling potential readers to read my posts from there.

So, having given up, it felt like something magical is happening when you told me what you are working on.

Many, many thanks.
