The Beginning
I have been involved with Steemit,since first week of October, barely been into my first month I was struggling and trying to get rhythem into Steemit posts and contents, I came across Utopian.io, i was not sure what exactly it was. The first thing i did was to google the meaning :

I took it as to make something perfect and idealistic. First time i heard of the word and just fell in love with the meaning. Nothing is perfect in the world and It took a heart and a passion to make something perfect.

To Explore
The second things soon after knowing the meaning is to explore Utopian.io, and its scope.
A platform for Open Source Document Contribution by @elear. A nice open source to provide all the idea suggestion, bug hunting etc for improvising and streamlining all the open sources platform like steemit, busy, esteem etc. .

Who is @Elear - The Passionate
11 years Senior Software Architect - Javascript Full Stack Developer, focused on ES6, React.js, Redux, TypeScript, Node.js, and DevOps.
left his job to follow the development of Utopian.io with 100% of contribution. Hired quite few developers and designers to fast forward the growth of Utopian.io . (i copied from his profile) :)

The Journey
Basic requirement for Utopian.io is to have Steemit account to login . Who stopping me to go further. I made my way towards improvising and streamlining. Best documentation are always best rewarded.

It took me a while to scroll the utopian home page and understand the different features. Again there were new thing i learned. Github - A repository for all open source coding

I posted my first post using utopian and it was regarding a bug hunting. The first post started with some technical glitch and posted twice on my steemit account. Although a [mod] did commented that the contribution is under review. Frankly i did not understand what review means, neither i received any feed back later, also my first contribution not even considered for rewards at that time.

Who are Mod-Moderators
Mod - Moderators are the resources in Utopian, who guide you with the correct posting on Utopian.io, They do not give any suggestion, but they support you with all the guidelines and tools.
I checked on the Moderators tab in utopian home page and found 4 mods including @elear the other names were @ruah, @espoem, @arie-steem.

Another transparency from Utopian team to give you all details about the moderators you can reach in case of any issues or for suggestions. I checked many times one of the the moderators always present in Discord channel including @elear to help with your queries. I sense the feeling of passion growing inside Utopian.io 24.7 there were some one for support all the time.

The Growth- Utopian.io & @steemflow

Ignoring the failure with my first post at Utopian, Gradually, i keep on contributing and getting rewards with each of the posts. Not having any technical background, I only used to provide suggestion for improvement and streamlining on the steemit platform. I started to grow. thanks to Utopian.io

Also, i was following Utopian.io its growth and success story has started to write on the wall. There were many changes happened in the due course, many contribution received. The Bots were configured multiple times to provide best rewards for best posts.
When all the bots were failing apart. Utopian bot stand strong and give best rewards for the best contribution. I saw the number of Moderators increased from 4 to 10, may be even more new names comes in @cnts, @zeartul, @deevirei etc. That was rightly done as passionate @elear has many other things to take care, to complete the success of Utopian.io .

From contribution has been approved,now the mods approved with comments Welcome to Paradise :). And i believe it is a true paradise for the thinkers and developers.

The Big players has faith in Utopian, that they keep delegating Steem Powers to Utopian. Special thanks to @ned for contributing quite often.

The Conclusion
So far so good. I have nice little journey so far and it was quite interesting. Out of 2000 contribution i can proudly say, i do have some parts in that :) even its a mere few. I am also very inspired by @elear the dedication and passion he is showing in the growth of the projects sets and example for new startups. Wishing him all the best for the future.

Well I can say, its not Conclusion. The best thing has just started to happen! and it will lasts longer.

Thanks
@steemflow
