NEW: long/medium term format for all historical charts, liquid author payouts. Making invisible visible: daily payouts, active users, new users, reblogs and follows count, top posts, top comments and others.
Overview, Changelog and Roadmap
This is a version 0.20 of my daily reports designed to be a comprehensive source of Steem metrics.
- Content, active authors and payouts historical charts were converted to the new long/medium term format
- Payout chart was replaced with a liquid authors payout chart, which shows daily totals of liquid (STEEM + SBD) author rewards. I consider this to be a better indicator of economic activity than one with SP included.
- Planned: a more understandable daily payout distribution chart/example.
- Planned: new average post metrics chart with number of comments, reblogs, upvotes and outliers removed.

How to read
Every chart starts on 1st of June and extends to yesterday. The number on the label attached to the Y axis on the right is the yesterday's value for that chart. Historical charts have STEEM/USD volume weighted daily price(Vwap) on the Y axis on the left of the chart.
