RE: Expanding Beyond Steemit with PiedPiper & Mrs. Steemit
Well yes, clearly Dan has very good ideas, but the execution is poor and overcomplicated. And then he backs off. Bitshares was exactly the same.
Agreed, Steemit drags people into the cryptosphere. But it needs a lot of work to be the new Reddit or whatever.
Dan's technical execution is very good, Steemit and Bitshares are testimony to that. Dan is probably the very best developer in the industry right now. What is missing though is the other side, making the tech relatable, approachable and usable. That what's needed now.
Agreed. We've come a long way but there's still a lot to be done.
Can you give a few examples of what can be improved on steemit?
I think that Steemit should have a clear focus on what this platform is meant to be. It seems to be a cross between reddit and blogging, with a tad bit of instagram mixed in between. I agree that Steemit is a revolutionary platform and the socio-economic aspect has been thought out quite well, as written in their white paper. (Yes, I read through all 44 pages haha) With a relatively small development team compared to other projects, I believe that Steemit should focus on disrupting the blogging scene, as I believe that would yield that highest on-board from writers, where less-established bloggers would be quick to come here. It would save them the hassle of finding hosting sites and setting up a website from scratch. Though Steemit's user interface may seem primitive at the moment, I think the most important issue to tackle right now, would be clarity in direction. Personally, I would love to see blogging take over here, with the flexibility and interactive-ness of Reddit-type comments within the community.
