Wow, you have been busy. Sorry to have missed your updates (I'm going to make it a point to visit your timeline when I have some free time and look back in the next few days).

If you do become a curator again, try my interface - https://raptor.in.ua/steemit.php - I've not worked on it much recently but it feels like this would serve your needs better.

I like your interface a lot...the only questions I have are about those users that slide in between the cracks (so to speak) and are blacklisted for no real reason. For example, several people on here use voting bots daily and make good content; I think your algorithm takes the majority of that group out. For example, I believe @httr4life contest posts are blacklisted because he delegates power so that his drawing has a daily pot for users with lower power levels. I understand why you've done that: to keep the one-paragraph posts that bring nothing to the table away from the timeline, but some good users may be affected. Knowing that, I still believe your interface is a wonderful tool for curating (I did use it after @remlaps informed me of its existence), but if that type of algorithm was used on the front page, I believe many users would be cut out of the process wrongly.
