Cool !
I imagine the "steemit activity by timezone, person or overall activity" project would be even more usefull to everyone as an API. imagine if they integrated that into things like steemstory to say when a user is on average the most active compared to the majority of the community, or into any of the posting tools with drafts to make scheduling a breeze with "options" for different time-zones that are automatically optimised for getting the biggest "eye-share" :)
That's sounds wickedly awesome! An API would certainly be the way to go and would be most convenient if we could embed this API into our story draft in order to determine whether or not this was a good time to hit POST ;) Great idea - we should totally send our thoughts to @furion and the development team!
Yeah. No idea how to go about contacting them, maybe Steemit.chat ?
Extra functionality could be studying the amount of upvotes by non-followers based on time posted (until at certain cut-off value, as above that it gets into Hot and Trending ?), as that should be a pretty good indicator of people seeing it when browsing "new" or another tag.
I'm itching to play around with the Steemit API now...
Same here @pbock - I also want to see if I can develop an application using the Steemit API especially after seeing all the awesome tools already available on SteemTools.com. See what you can come up with using the API and let me know!
