Dear STEEM community,

I am really excited to bring this project to the light. Introducing...

SteemCron! An application that shows the best time to post to get more upvotes (for now, see The Grand Vision)!

How to Use It?

Automagically! Just go to https://steemcron.com/ and enjoy the view! Just search the tag and identify the best hour to post by looking at the Score number.

Higher scores mean better chances to get more upvotes.

Time is in your local time zone from the beginning of the day to the end.

Scores are based on the scale 100 across all days which means that if the maximum score is 36 today it's just the maximum score you can get based for this day on historical data. Another day, if you see, 86 then it means people with a lot of power vote even more at that hour and that day.

How It Works

On server:

  • Get all posts for a specific category for a month
  • Sum up vote's weight for every specific hour in a day (meaning, for 1AM, 2AM, 3AM...). More weight = more rewards, right?
  • Calculate the maximum value
  • Normalize everything to the scale 100

On client

  • Get your local time zone
  • Calculate when the day starts and when it ends
  • Send it to the server asking "Hey dude, give me all scores for the range"
  • The server sends back "No problem, fam. Here you go"

The Grand Vision

I like automation. No, wait. I loooooove automation. That's more like it :)

I see SteemCron as a similar application to Buffer where you can just put your content, specify algorithm of posting and forget about it because the platform will do the rest.

It will calculate the best time with minute precision based on historical data and activity of your followers and post it. Voila!

P.S.
The score of the hour is 51 right now out of... 51 so it's the best way to post. Let's see! :)

Super useful! Thank you @ansek for building this great tool.
I was always wondering when to post to maximise reach... That will definitely help a lot.

Thank you for replying! Appreciate feedback!

I have just found your app. Great work and should prove to be very useful. I hope this is just the start of something big!
