RE: Steemit – We have a Problem

in #steemit7 years ago

This is absolutely spot on. I've mentioned this on chat as well as elsewhere in conversations with friends; user retention has less to do with the economics of Steemit and far, far more to do with the functionality and usability of the UI. Granted, there's a lot of push to bootstrap to the blockchain, which is a great thing and should be encouraged, but it shouldn't be at the expense of the application that most, if not all, users are going to be interacting with. I sincerely hope that Steemit, Inc. at least sees this and, if not goes forward with it, at least considers the larger problems outside of the narrow focus that seems to be devoted to the market.

Also, I made a post months ago suggesting they implement a UI-native messenger. I'm glad to see that this topic is being brought up again, because having to switch to steemit.chat (which is an abysmal chat client, at best) in order to communicate in real-time with people is an annoyance, at best, and discourages interaction completely, at worst.
