It is a great overview of yours of the great interface. You've pretty much nailed it down from both design and functional perspectives. Reading your post I realized why I also was reluctant to share my Steemit enthusiasm with friends/colleagues/customers. Indeed, the original design is so basic that one can ask himself - are they seriously think there in Steemit that THIS interface can compete with commercial platforms?
I'm going to resteem your post and really hope it will get the well deserved virality.
