26 UPDATES FOR STEEMPEAK (ft. Curation Feeds + Edit old posts)
https://steempeak.com/
Our Hero @asgarth has done it again and released a whole slew of updates small and large to https://steempeak.com/
Sometimes we do one big feature and in this case we did a ton of small updates and fixes and improved a few things in the background.
THANK YOU
We thank our community for staying vocal and asking for changes that help us be more robust and intuitive.
FEATURES # 1-5. CURATION TRAIL FEEDS
The result of these 5 features are pages that show a feed of the posts that account has voted on.
Very handy for curation accounts... they can show you what they love even without a resteem.
You can find awesome posts by going to curation accounts like.
https://steempeak.com/@photofeed/trail
Also Curie or Photomag
- 2 - We've allowed you to save the trails and access them quickly.
You can use the star next to the trail name - 3 - We've moved your "Saved Topics" to go above "Popular Topics"
A lot more intuitive placement - 4 - We have added a threshold slider that shows you only votes above that percentage
We will give curation trails details on how to change that default with a blockchain operation.
Don't forget to view these feeds in grid... it seems to fit perfectly for grid.
Curation feeds are default for anyone and everyone just use the URL
- 5 - We added a button for curation accounts to add to their account
Curation trails should message us on Discord to enable the button and learn how to change the default threshold.
6. EDIT OLDER POSTS
Just the other day I had to change a link that was no longer valid and then change the order of picture in a post. I may not have a ton of time to change older posts but I love knowing it's an option.
There's not much we did except put the edit button on older posts. Much of that change was because of #HF20
7. LOAD AND DISPLAY COMMENTS
A lot was done on the backend and should be faster and more responsive specially on posts with huge ammounts of comments. But also it's a bit more compact in display as well.
| OLD STYLE | NEW STYLE |
|---|---|
 |  |
8 . Picture upload Backend
You won't notice anything except for a speed increase. The changes were in the background and helps also reduce the load on our servers.
9 Reputation Badge Style
Just a little look change... don't forget you can hover and see the decimal point to get a more exact rep.
10 - LOCATION INFO
We added the location data in your profile
(Editing that is on the roadmap)
11 - Delegation breakdown
We've done a simple breakdown of delegation in and out of accounts.
12 - Display Exact date and time (Pop-up)
Just hover over the part where it says how long ago and it'll give you an exact day and time.
Keep in mind we show it in GMT so convert to your time zone as needed.
13 - Resteem in Grid mode
14 - Educate about Resource Credits
Always happy rework the wording to make it more inutive but this is our first draft.
15 - Show resource Credits percentage
We actually did this the day after HF20 but it bears mentioning here
We also show it in the "Analytics Section"
16 - Re-named dashboard to "TOOLS"
Just a lot more intuitive specially when you look at that page.
17 - Re-organized and renamed the TOOLS PAGE
It was in serious need of organization and we also renamed a few to make more sense intuitively. Yes there will be more added here in the future.
There's a bit much to see so we suggest to go look at it right now.
18-26 Smaller Changes as reported by @asgarth

I'm hoping to use Steempeak one day but still waiting for a line feed!
That are some cool updates. On my phone I am using partiko and on my desktop I use steempeak because it shows nice infos and I love the functions it offers for creating a post. Have you planned a mobile version?

Thanks. The website should be pretty usable on mobile already, but it you mean a real mobile version then we have not planned that yet. But if you try to use the website on mobile and have some feedback please let us know ;)
Great progress guys, I love the curation trail feature that is really awesome!
thanks ... and thanks to @markangeltruman for helping so much on that one.
Yes great work from him. Do you have any plans to integrate some kind of exchange service for cryptos or fiat? I would love to see a corperation with you and Easydex for example?

Steempeak truly is so amazing !!!
But i have hard time adapting to it.
I find myself constantly just opening steemit.com , because I am used to the layout.
I guess I need more time to get used to steempeak.
I love the site features !
Which layout on steemit do you use the most?
Ummm what do you mean ?
I use busy most. But I have read about steempeak before. I mostly get some motivation from "busy" by using it. I wouldnt know if steempeak has such? Or you can direct me to where I can know better.
Great updates! I thought Inwas crazy when I was looking for the dashboards and could not find them! Thanks for the continued dedication!
Yep we needed more intuitive wording. I hope it's not a hard switch and we hope it makes tons of sense for new users.
Wow, this looks awesome. Keep up the good work :)
Will do! :)
Y'all are my favourite interface for the #STEEM blockchain!!! By far.
Thanks ;)
Yall are doing wonders for Steem! Keep up the awesome work!
Did you guys at @photofeed already know about the Curation Trail Feed
I meant to tell you but I'm guessing asgarth probably already talked to you about it
As someone who hasn't used steempeak yet, I have a question after checking it out.
What is on the main page feed the first time for someone who hasn't logged in? Trending? For some reason I got the first 5 or so posts that reappeared for the next 5 posts after that, and I was wondering why I had to scroll so much to see the same things repeated.
I really like the new features, like saved topics in a handy location, and the grid layout. These things alone might be enough to get me to switch over to using steempeak.
My biggest gripes with using Steemit: Often I get in the habit of hitting the home page logo constantly to see if the people I am following have released any new posts. Sometimes I have to be careful on steemit because it does not always show me the feed I am expecting. Sometimes it even hides posts just because they are low value, and so I don't get to see everything when I get home from work (unless I remember to toggle and reset), very annoying! When I click categories on steemit, it always defaults to the trending posts, which are usually whales only or inflated by bidbots. Also not my preference. For niche manual curatoring, categories should always be set to New by default, or at least be able to maintain it as a constant preference that won't reset.
Anyways great job. I'll have to look into this more and see if it suits my usage preferences better. It makes me happy to know that developers are constantly improving their products to improve the experience with the latest and greatest features available for users on the Steem blockchain.
@creativetruth the main page currently show the trending posts. This is something that could change in the future because we are always trying to find new way to display interesting content to the user.
If you see the same 5 post repeated than probably there is an issue that we have to check. If you want please join our Discord so you can report this (maybe sharing a screenshot of this problem) and we'll try to fix it.
When you click the top left loge you'll be redirected to your feed, so if you try SteemPeak and this is not the case please let us know ;)
Thank @asgarth. Really quality work on this app and all the features. Nice to know that you respond to comments professionally too.
I could not get the bug to happen again, so I am not able to get a screenshot. It must have fixed itself on my end after I reloaded the page. I will definitely report on discord if I run into any other problematic issues with steempeak.
Looking good! I'm going to make an extra effort to go to steempeak more often since you guys are clearly hard at work :-D
