Agreed. It can be difficult to bring new people to Steemit unless you're right there with them guiding them through the process. It's too complicated for most. Pretty much impossible to introduce new people to the platform long distance, unless they're really motivated. And if they're unfamiliar with crypto that makes it even harder. It's a crippling flaw that if addressed effectively could bring us from fringe status to mainstream. I'd like to see Steemit and the many awesome dapps associated with it become a force to be reckoned with in the social media realm.

Another issue that I think needs to be addressed is private messaging. Though I love discord, we Steemians use it way too much at the expense of Steemit and its dapps, making it look like there's not as much going on here as there really is. Maybe private message is impossible to do on the blockchain, but there's got to be a workaround.

Partiko is quickly becoming my favorite interface. Their points system is awesome, the layout is clean and intuitive. I wish they offered a desktop version, with private messaging, and easy onboarding. Maybe also with links on the profile page that say things like "upload a video" (takes you to dtube upload page), "upload an audio file" (takes you to d sound upload page), "make a meme" (takes you to Dmania), "crowdfund" ( takes you to Fundition), and so on. Maybe somehow using steemconnect so as to make the sign in process the same every time for every dapp and not confuse people. Something like that would make this platform so much more accessible and intuitive, and ultimately, usable. Everyone likes having it all right there laid out for them, instead of having to dig.
