The Steemit Toolbar is a Google Chrome extension that will help you keep an eye on key indicators like Voting Power, STEEM price and SBD price.
It will allows you to permanently monitor these values while browsing the Steemit.com website.
Foreword
This Google Chrome Extension is my own work and is not released, endorsed, or reviewed by Steemit inc.
1. Setup
The extension is available here on the Chrome Webstore
Click on the “add to chrome” button
Click on the “Add extension” button.
For your information, the only data the Steemit Toolbar will read in your browser is the URL of the active tab. If the site address matches “https://steemit.com”, then the extension will activate itself and displays the Steemit Toolbar.
Once installed, the Steemit Toolbar extension will appear as a small button on the right of your address bar. If you click on it, a configuration window will popup.
2. Configuration
2.1 Configure your account
After installing the extension, Steemit Toolbar will not display any Voting Power. You need to configure your account. To do this, click on the extension icon.
The configuration windows is displayed and you will be able to enter your account name.
Type your account name and hit ENTER when done. The toolbar will immediately updates itself and start to periodically show you Voting Power.
If you made a mistake when entering your account name, Steemit Toolbar won’t be able to retrieve your account information from the blockchain and will display an “Unknown User” error message.
2.2 Configure displayed values
You can choose which values to display in the Steemit Toolbar by checking or unchecking each of them. The Steemit Toolbar will be automatically updated according to your choice.
Voting power
Display your account’s current voting power. This value is updated every 3 seconds and its color will change depending on the voting power you left.
- green if your VP is greater than 80
- orange if your VP is greater than 60
- red if your VP is lower than 60
STEEM
Display last average market price of the STEEM token. The price is taken from several exchanges and averaged.
STEEM DOLLARS
Display last average market price of the SBD token. The price is taken from several exchanges and averaged.
2.3 Configure your currency
When showing STEEM or SBD value, Steemit Toolbar can convert it to several currencies. Select the one that best fit your need and the display will automatically be updated.
2.4 Configure the price evolution gap
Steemit Toolbar will also show the price evolution for the tokens you have chosen in relation to the associated currency. The comparison can be made on different time gap.
For example, if you choose 30 min, Steemit Toolbar will show the difference between the current price and the one 30 minutes ago.
If the new price is greater or equal than previously, the ratio will be displayed in green
If the new price is lower than previously, the ratio will be displayed in red
When you’re done configuring Steemit toolbar, simply click outside the popup window. Your configuration will be automatically saved.
3. The Toolbar into action
On this screenshot, you can see that the toolbar is only visible on the tab browsing steemit.com.
At the time of the screenshot, my voting power was going low and displayed in orange and, unfortunately, both STEEM and SBD prices were going down last 30 minutes.
Next releases coming soon.
Some features are already planned for the next release
- add more currencies for conversion
- add account's remaining bandwidth monitor
- add detailed reputation indicator
- and many other ideas of which I do not yet speak to keep the surprise...

@joanaltres, thanks for your support =)
Very good post

Ah nice, so i dont have to check steemd every day
Very good post
Plz Follow me and upvote my post i will upvote ur all post
Woww...it really is a good news. Since steemit doesnt have an official app i think with this we could monitor our account easily.
Thank you for sharing such a good tool.
I hope its gonna have more feature in the future.
Steem on!
Stay tuned ... more (and more) features to come!
Thank you for this initiative @arcange. Resteemed and voted as witness. We need people like you in the community.
Thanks for your support. Really appreciated!
This is brilliant. Why does it only display when on steemit.com? I would love it if this was constantly displayed in my browser!
I wanted the toolbar to be as less invasive as possible. Moreover, as Google Chrome does not natively support additional toolbars, it might break other websites behavior.
I might consider later adding an option for it being always on
Thanks for the response. I would love it if it worked whilst I browsed round other sites. Thanks
Other sites are worthless!! Stay on Steemit! :P
But I can't pay my bills, do banking etc etc on Steemit!! I need to come up for air sometimes and when I do, it would be great to be able to check voting power and exchange rates at a glance!!
OK, you got a point.
It will be easier to add an "always show" option to the toolbar than to integrate bills payment and online banking into Steemit ;)
Stay tuned for next releases ...
Thanks mate.
Super cool. Installed and works like a charm.
Upvoted & RESTEEMED!
Thank you so much!
Was going to ask you include bandwidth, but see that you're already working on this. Very awesome. Wasn't showing up at first so I just refreshed the page and it worked like a charm! This will keep me from having to visit steemd so much.
This is awesome an is exactly why I follow you! thanks for toolbar!
Thanks for your support! Steem on!
I am still very new, it is great to find you and your post. I can see that you are very smart, generous, and community minded! I did vote for you on the witness page, and installed your app. Thank you so much @arcange. You will see me around!
Thanks for your support and your witness vote. Really appreciated =)
just a small request for next version to have the separation bars ( || ) be a light grey or something to look a little better, just for a bit of contrast space between each measurement so your eyes can lock faster. other than that it looks great, nicely done!
Thanks for the suggestion ... I will try it ...
What a great tool, @arcange! Installed, upvoted and resteemed :-)
Thanks a lot for your support. Glad you like it =)
It's a pleasure, O Archangel. I'm a dashboard kind of girl, so it really helps me :-).
Wow! That's an amazing tool. Thanks @arcange, you have here your first user 😉
Thanks!
I hope you won't be the only one ;)
Very cool extension, thank you for its creation!
Very nice extension, going to give it a try.
Thank your for sharing this with us arcange.
I resteemed and upvoted.
As soon as i am at home i will install this nice little toolbar. :)
Good work @arcange, I like this!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great tool, this makes it a-lot easier to monitor my powahhh . Thx for sharing @arcange and @joanaltres for reblogging it.
Cool. I had no idea this existed, but it's only my 2nd day with Steem. I downloaded it, now I have to figure out all the details of it.
Awesome Nice Development
Steemit Beta Phase
I love addons I am exploring it now thank you for this
Thanks a lot for sharing with us
Very nice. I dig it!
Wow! It's awsome!
Great tool, nice initiative
Great work!
I would really like to see a 'favourites' indicator for new blog posts. A subset of the follower post indicator if you will.
Thanks again, I shall be testing later today.
Awesome, I'm installing it right away. Is the code on GitHub? I'm curious to have a look at it, and I might make some contributions too if you're open to that
I will open source the code after the next releases.
The code is still a bit messy and I need to clean it up :p
No worries, I know that feeling. Chrome extensions are messy by default
Really awesome!!!
Thanks =)
That's awesome! It is very handy! I like how it is only visible to on the steemit.com tab but not others. This will be my routine app from now on. Much appreciated @arcange
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, wanted to make it as less invasive as possible.
i'll give it a test! :)
Awesome this app really help all steemians to work with ease. Nice post
Thanks a lot!
cool
This is a great idea. Don't have to have so many tabs open to check everything.
Nice! Is it made to work fine with Windows XP? It's still showing a bunch of zeros half-an-hour after it's been installed on my computer.
If you have the latest version of Chrome, it should work.
Check if any firewall or web filtering is not blocking outgoing traffic.
I don't see anything specific that could be blocking. I'll keep on looking. Thanks.
Thank you @arcange for sending a very good tool.
Now I installed it and I'm very pleased with it!
Upvote and Resteemed!
Steem on!
Thanks you for your support!
Great!!
Hmmm
Very nice
very cool!
one quesiton: why does the app need access to my browsing history?
It is because of Google Chrome requirements to be able to know if you open a post full page or as a popup windows on top of Steemit's website.
Only technical stuff ... I don't care about the history content ;)
thanks, really cool extension
Interesting... Thanks
Wow very remarkable post @arcange. thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
@arcange, very nice toolbar. Thanks.
Great post..nice intro tutorial..
Thanks for your kind comment.
You welcome @arcange:))
Very cool idea, thank you!
Absolutely Brilliant!
That's pretty cool stuff. Might try this out. Any chase of seeing this on something like firefox?
We will give it a try to see if it can be implemented on Firefox.
No promises ...
I think that is all we can ask. Thank you.
Firefox too please :)
This is a wealth of information at our finger tips @arcange . Will get this on my tool bar pronto. thank you.
Great extension, love it, thank you.
Oh this is just epic!! Big up to who ever made this!
