SteemWorld ~ Newsletter #5 / March, 2018

Desktop Notifications, Mentions, New Followers, Incoming Delegations implemented! Since my time is 'NULL' and I want to spend it mostly for testing and improving the new features, I will keep it short this time.

It was a ( bunch of work )² to set up and optimize the SteemWorld Web Service on my new server in the past weeks but I am so happy that most of the work is done. Some things may still change in the coming days because I am now working on optimizations on the front-end.

The follower lists on SteemWorld are no longer being loaded from the public steem nodes and they now come directly from the SteemWorld API. Since we do not have many public nodes available and the load increases weekly, all developers should keep this fact in mind when working on tools that are being used by many people on a daily basis. I will spend some more time on optimizing further server requests soon so that finally most of the data for SteemWorld is being loaded from my own server(s).

Post & Comment Count

The 'Account Stats' now show the number of created posts separated by 'root posts' and 'comments' :

Block Status

From now on the current block status is being displayed in the 'System Info Section':

Allow Connections To New Server

If you are using something like uMatrix, please keep in mind to allow connections to the domain 'steemworld-ws.org':

Web API Control Center

I have built a small 'Control Center' so that I can easily check and manage the server status. By adding new features to SteemWorld it may sometimes be needed to reparse the whole blockchain and I don't want the server to be unavailable in those cases, therefore I have added a 'reparse' feature that parses the data in a different server path, so that users of SteemWorld will not be affected by it.

There are always happening more things in background than most people think...

Thanks for your support!

Jesus, may Bitcoin's Death Cross burn down in hell and the generated impulse take us to new highs. I really need this to pay my bills...

Peace ~

HOORAY!! I've been waiting with baited breath since your last newsletter for this announcement!! I simply love having everything I need with your one app. Ginabot has been a pretty steady girlfriend of mine, but I'm afraid I'm going to two-time on her and use yours instead haha

Thank you so much for everything that you do to make this platform awesome; I can only imagine the amount of time and energy that you've invested in steemworld's development. This steemian is beyond grateful for it ;)

Cheers! Hope you're having an awesome week...mine got a little bit better when that first notification popped up on my screen :)
