Yesterday, we had a talk about the friction to go to another website. Today, I realized that I check my steemd feed way more often than steemit feed, because there are no notifications feed on steemit and steemd acts as a notification feed.
If a decent discovery algorithm for Steemit was implemented on another domain, even on a webpage on another domain like your tool above, and it opened the Steemit posts in new tabs, I'd definitely use it as my start page for my steemit browsing.
