Great. I as a programmer also want to develop some useful utilities for steem users, but I barely get any time. A lilttle while ago I wrote a very simple python based bot tracker (https://github.com/HamidMushtaq/steemtools/blob/master/steemdbtracker.py) that just crawled the steemd.com website to give the current bid amounts for different bots, but that is all. By the way, I saw one glitch in your bot tracker, maybe now you have corrected it, which is that if someone transfers while the bot is busy uvpoting, your bot tracker ignores those transfers. I had the same problem with my bot tracker, but my bot tracker is lacking many features anyway :)

It's a very hard problem to accurately figure out which bids the bots will accept just by polling the account history, especially since all the bots work differently. To resolve this I've created an API specification that bots can use to basically tell the bot tracker exactly what bids they will vote on. Many bots are using that now but not all. I'm planning to add an indicator for the bots that provide the API so you can know that what is shown on the site for those bots is 100% accurate.
