AutoSteem looks really cool, but for me having to leave my computer running with browser open for it to work is a deal breaker. I appreciate you want to ensure maximum security for posting keys by not requiring users to upload them anywhere, but I prefer the 24 hour per day "always on" voting that Steem Voter provides. If you could add support for that, I'd give your service a try.

Thanks cryptomancer for the feedback. I realize some people don't want to leave their browser running, and for those people, there are other services to use. I won't be adding that to autosteem likely as I don't want the server headaches or costs and there are already other services for exactly that, so why try to duplicate it? There is much more to autosteem then autovoting, so you can use the browser and follower/ing information without it. I have more to come but obviously its designed to work best when left running with the full services in browser.
Fair enough, as you say there are alternatives for people who prefer that sort of behavior. That's one of the great things about the open nature of the Steem API: anyone can develop apps that interact with the blockchain in different ways, giving end users a large amount of choice in what services to take advantage of.
It looks like AutoSteem has a pretty rich feature set, so maybe I'll still check it out to see if I like the non-voting aspects of it. Thanks for your hard work on what looks like a really nice tool for the community!
