Creating a bot for Steemit. Part 1: Background and Planning
Hello friends. Most recently, I wrote about the desire to create my bot for the Steemit. Initially, I wanted to write a script that would follow, but it seemed to me quite simple. And I began to think.
When thinking, I came across another bot - @randowhale. This bot, receiving 2 SBD, makes an upvote of the record indicated in the comment to the translation. Due to the great steem power, such an upvote has a lot of weight. The idea is wonderful, but there is one point - for beginners the services of this bot are simply not available. Many people, placing their first record with an introductory tag, are hoping to receive any payment for this. Many do not dial and dollar. This is a disappointment, and I've seen a lot of really good stories that have not gained enough attention, and their authors are no longer writing. How to get a few hundred or thousands for the first record is a big mystery to me, I think this is more of a coincidence (for example, my favorite wife @elen.cat registered on the booth and posted her story https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@elen.cat/hello-steemit-this-is-my-first-entry-here having received only $0.35 for it. I do not claim that she should collect a thousand dollars - but stories are much worse collected hundreds of times more than it).
So that's it. Thinking over this all - I decided to create a similar bot, just a little different direction. Rather, there are already bots that welcome users in their first entry with the introducer tag. But these bots do not give practically no growth in the value of fasting and do not increase the reward. My idea is to help newcomers in their first record. Is free. With a sufficient level of poem, this is more than real. I think, even if it will give about $1 per post - it will be more than a good incentive to write more, without giving up this matter, and thus attract more good authors to the boom - and this is my main goal. Yes, there are quite a few good authors already, but there are not many of them.
After studying a little work with API, I came across the official repository on the github to work with the API through the js. Excellent library, but there is a moment - I do not really like js. Therefore, this option immediately disappeared. Having looked for ready solutions for work with API on PHP I did not find anything suitable. Therefore, I will write my decision from scratch. To speed up the process, I will take as a basis the framework of the Laravel, with which I have extensive experience.
So, the plans are built, now I will take up work. If you have any questions or suggestions, I will be glad to read them. If the project is interesting - follow to not miss the news. Also I will be grateful for Resteem.

Great initiative. Unfortunately I do not know programming, but I am interested in this project and I will consider to donate some Steem Power to the bot when finished.

I will answer you in this record. The bot will give a push to beginners to get the stimulus of the turn and the first profit on the steemit, which will motivate to create new good content.
All the code will be placed on the github and it can be used freely(MIT).

I follow you, too.
The bot will be created in PHP language using the Laravel framework. A little later, all points of the plan will be painted.

For sure a great idea. Personally, when i first started I made nothing, and left for about 4 months. I since came back for "another try" and made like 20 SteemPower or so in one post. I'm hooked now!  At first I thought my content wasn't good enough for people to upvote. Now, I realize just keep on plugging away, and you'll see results.
