RE: Upgrade Browser Extension for promoted/burnsteem Posts
Thanks! Very useful. It might be a few days before I have time to try it out, but I look forward to upgrading. ;-)

No problem :-)
BTW: We should think about a full extension in the store so that it can be installed easily and without much effort. :-)
Agreed. I bookmarked an online training course for creating browser extensions with that in mind. Unfortunately, I haven't made much progress so far, and I know I'm going to be time-challenged for the next couple of weeks. I hope to get back to it, though. Another goal is to add a "ticker" window/pane/area that will scroll through the /promoted titles in proportion with their promotion costs, maybe with an option to filter by community/tag.
The other thing I was thinking was maybe to put it on github and create a steem community where people can collaborate to improve it into a full-blown curation tool.
I had a look at how extensions can be created and published. Putting them together is no big deal, but you need a dev account, e.g. at the Firefox Store. That's where I got stuck at first...
You mean that on the steemit page a small area appears where the articles scroll through. Like a news or stock ticker? That sounds very cool! ... And shouldn't be that difficult to implement....
Github would be okay, but I don't think a special community is necessary. The Steemit Dev Group could already be used for that. Then there are at least a few more posts there that match the topic ;-)
Yeah, it seems pretty easy with chrome/brave, too. But I just want to know if I'm missing any pieces. Plus I just want to learn more about extensions, in general. Also, apparently there's a need for some sort of logo. "Pretty pictures" is not really my thing. ;-)
Exactly. That's where I got the idea. I saw someone else had done an extension with a stock ticker. I definitely think that would make post promotion more valuable (if widely used).
Yeah, probably true. Not sure if the mods are still around, though.
