PCT Update: Now with Live Payout and Vote Info

Hey everyone,

First, I want to give a big thank you to @friendlymoose for continuing to evangelize and gather feedback for the Post Curation Tool (PCT). His latest post, "Hive needs better feeds! Let’s build a custom Curation tool! (part 6)," is another great update.

After a brief discussion with him, it was clear that a valuable addition to the tool would be to see a post's current vote and payout information directly on the curation card. This live data helps curators make better decisions about which posts to vote on and how to best use their voting power.

I'm happy to announce that this feature has now been implemented.

Live Chain Data for Better Curation

When you're curating, knowing a post's current status on the blockchain is critical. Has it already received a lot of votes? Is it close to its final payout? Answering these questions can be the difference between a good vote and a great one.

To provide this information, each post card in the PCT now displays live data pulled directly from the blockchain.

Specifically, you can now see:

• Expected Payout: The current pending payout value of the post.
• Cashout Time: When the post is scheduled for final payout.
• Vote Count: The total number of votes the post has received.

It's important to note that this information is fetched on the front end. This means it's always up-to-date at the moment you're viewing it, but it is not part of the searchable back-end index. It's simply extra context to help you make the best possible curation choices.

This was a great suggestion from the community, and I'm happy to have been able to add it to the tool.
