Well, I don't know if this applies, but I remember a couple years ago when new users were developing all kinds of applicable apps for this platform (most of which can be found at the steemit app center which is hosted (or linked to) by steemit.

I've been impressed by the fact that steemit has actually incorporated a lot of these devs' work into it's main framework. We're still in beta, but a lot of the interface we see today is because of freelancers of yesterday. Including steemit.chat, Dlive, Dtube, and dozens more.
