We need the Voting Power Bar on Steemit! So users can easily check how much their vote will be. This feature will also show this great Differenciator of Steemit towards the other old school centralized social media platforms

Hi Steemians and Utopians,

I came up with this idea of adding or creating the Voting power bar directly on steemit, as seen on the image below, for 2 main reasons.

2 Main Reasons for Creating the Voting Power Bar

The first reason is that when potential new users see the steemit site (any post from any steemian), they will see a general screen as a social site, and by adding the bar on it, this will make them think what is that. We can also add a small text next to it, that says learn more. And this will take them to a page that will let them know that according to their investment on the platform and the power they have, they can vote a certain amount of funds. This will make them be curious and want to try it.

The other reason is for the use of current steemians. It is good, after reading a post or a comment, to be able to know how much voting power we have. In this way we can choose the percentage to reach the amount we want to curate, upvote with. It will also be good to have a vote counter near the bar, so each steemian can know how many votes they have done each day. This will help see the power left and calculate better the rewards we are giving.

Possible Locations for the Voting Power Bar

Here is a screenshot of 2 possible locations and design options for the voting power bar. Sure, it needs to be smoothly design to fit the current steemit style.

And here is a Zoom in of the Voting Power Bar with 2 design options. One with 5 already fixed percentages to choose from, and the second one with the same type of slider used to choose the percentage of power.

One idea is that we can use https://steemnow.com/ , which is Hive account@penguinpablo 's creation. He can let us know if it can be implemented directly on steemit.
And since I have more of a business background and not involved much in programming, coding and software, there are several devs like: Hive account@inertia and Hive account@fyrtsikken whom are the developers of Hive account@booster (the voter bot), thanks to them, we can use it to make our posts reach the trending pages when we believe that is needed, on times we need our word to be heard the most, when we have special ideas to help the community grow, or contribute for steem or steemit, or the community itself.
Also devs like: Hive account@fleuri , Hive account@blueorgy , Hive account@furion , Hive account@benniebanana and others, that have created systems or beta tests to get a mentions function to get working.

I believe they can give a good opinion on this, and help explain how to develop it.

I hope this idea is useful to create more ideas, and if possible to be able to see this on steemit on the future.

What are your thoughts steemians and steemit developers?

Please, let me know your thoughts on this to continue making Steemit a better place everyday.

Regards,
Hive account@gold84

Here are 2 other ideas I explained on Steemit to enhance the platform even more:

1- We need an Invite a Friend Button on Steemit! Together with its Infrastructure. This will accelerate the growth of the STEEM community and Mass Adoption for Cryptocurrency, converting Steemit the driver of it!

2- We need a Mentions Tab function on Steemit! With Realtime Notications. To Communicate each other faster & easier, to help things get going faster for the STEEM community, to achieve Mass Adoption for Cryptocurrency, making Steemit the power driver!
