Today I am introducing a new Shiny App that uses Appbase and Analytics powered by the open source R programming language.
- If your a casual or new Steemian this App may help you get to know other Steemians.
- If your a professional blogger features of the site will help you analyse your engagement and posting history on Steem(/it).
Casual & New Steemians
Weekends are great for catching up on your Steemit activity. Did you know there are now 964k accounts and about 65k daily users?
This is fantastic but it means that it is not always easy to keep up with your friends activity.
This Shiny web app helps you browse any Steem Users posting history. It will help you get to know them a bit better, and easily find some of their more seminal posts.
Professional Bloggers
Have you spent time typing numbers into spreadsheets to analyse your posting activity?
This Shiny web app helps you analyse your posting history and engagement. It will help you get to know your supporters and readers better and it will also let you download the data from your posts in an excel spreadsheet. (These features are coming soon)
Version 1
Full Posting History
When you enter a username the app searches for all the posts by the user (from Appbase) and displays them visually. Each dot represents a post. The size represents the number of comments, colour the number of votes and y axis the payout.
This really gives you an insight into which were the seminal posts by each author as well as their level of activity. We see 
High Level Stats & Introduce Yourself Post
Many people are interested in their payouts. This page shows some averages so you can see how much a users posts earned over time.
Figures are not adjusted for changes in Steem Price and show the full post payout
On this page I will be adding visual tools to help professional (or any) Steem blogger analyse their user engagement over time.
Another useful item you will notice on this page is a link to the users posts tagged with introduceyourself, introducemyself or introduction. What better way to get to know someone than reading their introduction?
Links to All Posts (Searchable)
This is a really useful part of Steem Analytics. It lets you see all the posts a user has made and search and sort them to drill down. I will be adding a feature to download this list in excel, but in the meantime you can copy and paste the data.
Roadmap
I plan to add many features to help you explore users activity and analyse your own posting activity.
- Tags used
- Voting history (i.e. supporters)
- Recent Payout Stats, Weekly, Monthly etc.
- Comment Activity (Similar format but relating to comments on other peoples posts)
This site is a work in progress and I plan on adding many useful features such as visual representations of tag used and voters over time. Please also let me know if you spot any bugs or if there are any features you would like to see added.
The site is live today try it out over the weekend and let me know what you think!
Thank you for reading this. I write on Steemit about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Travel.
