Have you ever wanted to look at someone's profile page without all those Resteems clogging it up?
Well, I made you something
Whenever I am trying to 'size up' someone from their profile I always want to be able to disable the 'Resteems' for a moment so I can see what they're actually putting out there. I've heard a couple other people mention this too, so I figured I would try and make something. My Javascript abilities are pretty basic, but I figured, why not give it a shot? It only took like 20 hours LOL :P I am calling it 'Extreemit', because I have plans to keep adding little design tweaks to the Steemit.com UI as I go.
It just inserts a little button above the post_list on profile pages, and allows you to toggle display of Resteems.
You can see the code here on my github. If you want to install it in Dev Mode, there's some instructions.
If you just want to install it the easiest way, you can do it on the Chrome store.
It does remember your selection as you browse around the site, so if you show them, it will show them everywhere, and if you hide them, it hides them everywhere(profile pages)...I believe if you close out of google chrome entirely it will forget your last setting, and default to show.
It's purely a javascript injected CSS + html hack. So while the page is loading, you might still see the Resteems for a fraction of a second before the injection happens. When you scroll down their profile to load more, it should manage to 'hide' them before they load. I've noticed a couple of possible bugs when you have hidden enabled, and you're looking at someone's profile that is ALL or MOSTLY ALL resteems, sometimes it might prevent you from loading more...you can try just reloading the page, or disable it for a moment.
If you're familiar with websites, you'll obviously understand that this only removes the posts from the DOM, and doesn't actually fill those empty spots with fresh posts from the blockchain. I figured that this might be a good first step, and perhaps it will be possible to pull fresh posts from the blockchain with steem-rpc and process them onto the page. This type of technique could open the door for ALL kinds of modifications, not just cosmetic ones.
Some quick thoughts that have skipped across the surface of my mind
Smart Feeds that are operating literally in the users browser, processing raw blockchain data to build custom configurable feeds, @p0o made a great post about it today

Do you have UI interface suggestions??
Features you'd like to see fixed in the Steemit UI? Little itchy will see what he can do with his magical noob javascript!
