Quickly switching between SteemIt and SteemPeak

I'm now using SteemPeak.com regularly rather than SteemIt.com as my main Steem blogging interface. However, much of the Steem ecosystem has been built up around SteemIt, and is expecting to find URLS that begin with https://steemit.com. Try posting your blog post in a Discord #post-promotion type channel, and you'll find that the link works, but the preview isn't generated properly. I'm sure the same happens for those who regularly use Busy.org as their interface of choice, as well. Similarly, tools such as Steemd.com and SteemWorld.org also open links by default in SteemIt rather than SteemPeak.

I recently came across a nifty little userscript by Hive account@bitcoiner which can quickly switch between viewing a page in SteemIt and viewing the same page in Steemd. Bitcoiner's post about this userscript can be found here, and the script itself can be found here. This script gave me an idea. Wouldn't it be cool to have a similar script that could alternate between viewing a page in SteemIt and viewing the same page in SteemPeak? Fortunately, Bitcoiner had done most of the work on this already, and I simply needed to do a find & replace, to change all instances of steemd.com to read as steempeak.com in my version of the script. For a plagiarist-programmer such as myself, this wasn't too hard to do. I created and published the script on GreasyFork.com, giving credit back to the original author. Now it is simple to switch between SteemIt and SteemPeak.

I haven't fully tested this script, and it is offered to the community as-is. I'm sure there will be some URLs which don't match up exactly between SteemIt and SteemPeak, and I'm keen to continue developing this script, adding exceptions, etc, until it eventually (hopefully) becomes obsolete, through better integration of third-party interfaces on the Steem blockchain. Don't forget, to use this script, you will will need to have installed a userscripts engine in your browser, such as GreaseMonkey or TamperMonkey.

I use and recommend SteemPeak.com, which is an alternative frontend for the Steem blockchain (instead of using SteemIt.com) which is under active development and maintained by Hive account@jarvie, Hive account@dmytrokorol, and Hive account@asgarth.
