Hi, I think the first step is voluntary support.

As you've just done with this article, make the signups to your own @steemauto Fanbase more prominent - I see about 700 followers, which I guess is a small fraction.

It also means having to post daily, but it can be about updates or reminders of features, especially with HF20 coming up. If you feel this is time better-spent coding, then I'm sure you can find a ghost-writer.

Upvoted and added to Fanbase.
