RE: Programming Diary #19: Follower network strength and preparing for Open Source publication
Nice :-)
I recently saw something in the Hivemind code that amazed me. I can't remember what it was right away, but it must have once been available or intended as a function.
Perhaps you can actually still find remnants of the implementation of the recommendations at that time. In any case, I think that this was implemented at Hivemind level.
It ends prematurely which I found interesting 🫢
Strange. On steemitdev.com it doesn't end prematurely...
I think hivemind came along later. I ran a couple quick searches of steemit's github space, but didn't find anything. I didn't spend a lot of time at it, though.
You are right. Thanks for the link. I really need to have a look at all the old posts from steemitblog. Quite a lot was explained there.
I found two commits:
https://github.com/steemit/steem/commit/a01b04ed439681528c61b3b7e318092c8b98067f
https://github.com/steemit/steem/commit/f3877959f55d30e1ba2815eeb437dabc0e3d70fd
These were probably the first implementations. I don't yet know whether it was changed before it was removed again.
Whilst looking for some documentation for steemit.com, I stumbled across a few interesting discussions that were prompted by the dev team. I can't remember what any of them were either 😆 but I did think about digging some of them out. One of them was a page view counter and there's a lot of condenser code scattered about for that.
This would be a great favour to some (well known) users :-)
However, there are a few obstacles here:
Will you accept the challenge? ;-D
Ha ha - no chance! I'm grateful that you've looked into this already. I'm not a fan of page view counters and if you managed to convince me otherwise (😉), I'd investigate a Google Analytics API that could pull the data in and produce some more meaningful data. One day, I'll get access to Steemit's GA account!
Hopefully it won't take so long ;-D
