Yes and no. Steemd is good for actively looking at what is going on, but doesn't do everything Gina does (for example missed blocks for witnesses).

Ginabot is a passive service, meaning you don't have to lift and finger and it will notify you. It will notify you of things you can't find on Steemd and notify you within 10 seconds of it happening.

Thank you! I'll check it out.

You should, love. It'll get you hooked on Discord too. It's one of those things I didn't know I needed but now can't live without. There's steemian for mobile, but Gina is SO WAY more comfortable!
