Steem Bot Tracker has a curation reward estimator page which gives the user an opportunity to calculate curation reward that could be earned. Users check post links manually when they find a post that is possibly going to reach a high payout value just after ongoing bids have voted.
Curation rewards of the posts which have ongoing bids
I suggest adding a new table which shows curation rewards of the posts which belong to ongoing bids, to the curation estimator page (/curation_calculator.html). Thus, curators can easily find the most profitable post among all waiting posts.
The above image is quite self-explaining, but there are some points I would like to mention about.
Time restriction
The posts which have more remaining time than 5 minutes to completion of its bidding period are not eligible for adding the table. Because even a small value of a bid has a big share of the vote value at the beginning of the bidding period. So the script which will update the table content should filter such posts.
Putting posts in order
The least remaining time first
The table could be ordered by remaining time. It is good to show how much time the user has to upvote the post before bidding bot upvote it. But this type of order may cause difficulty to find the post which will give the bigger curation reward.
The bigger reward first
This type of order is probably better in case of user experience. Because a potential curator would like to see most profitable post first.
