RE: Introducing Steem Menu: a Browser Extension tool for Steem
Really awesome! I'll have to give it a try! Would be better than my random folder in my bookmarks bar for Steem dApps! xD
Hey, on a different note, is SteemRSS still supported? It still seems to work, but I haven't seen any activity from the other developers in months or longer. I love the idea and I was considering using it as an EXTREMELY easy way to show Steem content on other sites, potentially as a way of implementing a manual version of SteemPress on non-Wordpress sites. What help me back what that I wanted to make sure the service wasn't going to go away due to lack of development activity. Hence why I'm asking you! :)
Do you know if the code has been released anywhere for forking and future development?
SteemRSS is alive and kickin. It handles thousands of requests per day! I am checking on it once in a while. The code was forked to https://github.com/steemrss/steemRSS
Let me know if you have any problems!
STEEM Menu is a Proof if concept, really. I think it has room to grow.
Fantastic! :D
Now that I know it's not been forgotten, I definitely feel comfortable about making a Steem plugin for websites using it! Initially, it would only be one sided since it would just be a one-way feed. Though, in theory, commenting and voting could be added via something like Steemkeys. Anyways, that's a ways down the road, first I gotta make the plugin first! :)
For SteemMenu, I think it's a fantastic idea! To have easy access to a listing of Steem dApps without having to go to a third-party site, where either the layout is poor or it includes a lot of non-Steem dApps, is a very convenient feature. I might suggest that, if you don't already have it, you allow people to manually add their own Steem dApps to the plugin locally. That way, you don't have to worry about being flooded with PR's for adding new dApps!
That’s a great suggestion! Please create an issue on GitHub for it, in case I forget.

Certainly! I will do that! :)
Also, I am almost done with the base part of the "SteemFeed" plugin! It will utilize the SteemRSS feed to generate a feed for a user's Steem posts. And best of all, I have reduced it to a single tag to use it! :)
That's all that is required to import a user's Steem posts into a normal website! It creates the HTML needed to pull the user's post and the data tag allows for easy author choosing!
One issue I have sorta run across is that, when pulling a feed based on a user's blogs, it pulls both their own posts and what they resteemed. This is an issue cause the 10 post limit of the RSS tool means that, in my case, I only have 2 actual posts to show. Would there be anyway to have the RSS feed just pull the 10 last posts created by a user, excluding resteems? Or is that kinda out of the scope for the current version of SteemRSS?
Awesome that was fast!!
I’ll look into filtering resteems this weekend.
Where does the 10 post limit come from? Is that a limitation of SteemRSS or something else?

Indeed! The JS code is < 50 lines in length. When I get the kinks worked out, I'll upload the first initial version to Github! :)
For me, when I pulled my blogs, it would only pull 10. This would be ok, and normally quite manageable. However, with it including resteems, it means it pulls a very limited number of posts I made myself, currently 2. If there was a way to increase this limit, then that would be extra great, though I don't wanna put too much of a strain on your servers. I think filtering resteems would be a much better option for solving this issue. Or hey... why not both! :D
Why not both! Looked into this briefly, I can add a flag to override the default number of items.

Awesome! That alone will make it easier to pull more posts created just by the user. In fact, the way my program is coded, it will work by default! :)
