Hello Steemians!
After first release of oSteem I go in a short vacancy in the Danube Delta (About it I didn't have yet time to wrote. But I found a bunch of testers here on steemit that helps me to find some bugs, but also gives me some suggestions about how to improve the existing features but also about new features. But let take theme one by one.
1. Wanna try oSteem?
First of all I should give a thank you for all Steemians that helps me to test it.
Also we already have two reviews made by:
@teutorigos: oSteem Chrome Extentions Feedback
@alinamarin: oSteem or how to spend efficiently your time on Steemit
If you wanna try oSteem here you can subscribe and I'll send you an invitation asap.
2. Major bugs founded
We found two major bugs.
First and the critical one, when you navigate from trending : https://steemit.com/trending , promoted, hot or new posts to feed posts: https://steemit.com/@djvidov/feed the extension did not inject the oSteem buttons and it also didn't filter article even if the filter was activated. This happens because these 5 pages are made using SPA ( more exactly reactJS) and it didn't throw link changed.
The work around for this bug is to refresh the page.
Starting with tomorrow I'll fix this bug, I found a solution but I didn't have yet tome to implement it.
The second bug, which is not critical, is the reverse of the first bug. When you leave feed page: https://steemit.com/@djvidov/feed and you go to trending : https://steemit.com/trending , promoted, hot or new posts the insertion of the plugin remain, even if it didn't filter any result.
This has the same reason as the first bug, but luckily it is only visual.
The work around for this bug is to refresh the page.
3. Improvements and features
On improvements and features list I can mention:
Remove resteems from feeds
In order to keeps you focused on your Followed users you can filter all resteemed posts.
Refresh page
When you play with Disable vip/Enable vip button and you already have loaded some articles, these are not filtered, in order to filter them you should refresh the page. The idea of this improvement is also to generate a refresh to the page in order to reload all articles.
"Vip home" link after "home" link
Instead using Disable vip/Enable vip to keep home url functionality unchanged and after that to have a new url "vip home" where you'll find only VIP artilces.
An easy way to add/remove VIP users
At this moment to add a new vip user you should type his name in the textbox from oSteem Options area and then press enter. And to remove a vip user you should type his name and -remove or -r. I know this is annoying and probably this will be first improvement.
Autoreload when you dont have VIP posts
If you have few VIP users sometime happens that in first 20 articles to did not find any article of your VIP users, and in order to load next 20 articles you'll need to scroll down a little bit. It will be nice if this will be happen automatically.
That's all for now.
Enjoy steeming!
