RE: Evolving the #posh initiative [help needed]
I do think those analytics would be very, very interesting. I have a suspicion that in my case, the traction I might generate through my limited Twitter following would be limited. It might, however, be a "penny" helping the "pounds" if one uses the "right" hashtags. That said, I do think that the points have been made regarding sorting, linking to other social media platforms and the user interface, in general are important.
I sometimes wonder why I hung around because Steemit is so hostile to someone who has no technical background and even less inclination. On reflection, it was because of other interfaces, and now, it's because of @steempress. This brings me to the matter of communities. Personally, I have an eclectic range of interests, not all of which I write about, but which I might read and/or follow. Being pigeonholed into one or other community is a distraction and confusing. I admit that I've mostly ignored/avoided beta.steemit.com for this reason.
Tuppence worth from someone who's outside the typical Steemit demographic, but who's heading towards the three year mark on the platform.
3 years? Damn, I'm a noob by comparison lol
🤐🤦♀️
Think it's my 2 years coming up in a month or so.
But you're right about front ends being the key to Steem really. People shouldn't have to know how blockchain tech works but rather the front end they use should be a doddle. This is why I really like SteemPeak and travelfeed as they do that.
I think mobile apps are also important so if there is a way to relate all the usage of front ends back to dapps and "viewing figures" that could be useful too.
I'm not sure if it was Asher or arcange or pablopenguin (or someone else) but I remembered seeing an infographic/pie chart which had some cool info like that on it about what posts were done from where... It may have been from tags though rather than viewing figures... 🤔
Two years, huh? Seem longer ;)
I do like SteemPeak - it has some great features. I did like Partiko but since the most recent HF, it's not worked well. I did also like Share2Steem, but I think that apps like that are open to spamming and abuse. On that score, that's another beef of mine: app developers can just abandon their apps and leave users in the lurch. That's a worry because if it's a really good app, it's disappearance may well take users with it. Especially if they've been on-boarded through that interface and can't face (ha!) learning another.
I think those stats - about the source of posts - would be very useful. Again, speaking from my limited knowledge, I also think that @frederikaa and @howo are on to something with @steempress because of the huge reach that WordPress has, not to mention the features that allow one to organise, categorise and sort one's own material.

Yea I think Partiko and Share2steem are basically empty shells now, left as they were by the developers pre HF 21 so I wouldn't use them anymore and like you said, the users that were engaging via Partiko would probably be drifting aimlessly if they aren't aware of other ways to interact. I thought Partiko was spot on and exactly what STEEM needed but I guess the bear market stopped a few projects.
I use SteemPeak via mobile and actually find it great to use. Quite happily use this on top of the desktop/laptop and if they are making an app, which sounds like they might, then I'll happily download it.
Steempress is pretty epic, made my website actually look like it had comments on, whereas before, it was about as deserted as Partiko's Dev team heyoooo
