So, I've been helping quite a few users through the change and have been reading lots of posts and comments and chats. Here's some suggestions based on that information:

• Make sure next time a bigger roll-out happens it gets 'announced' properly: for example that blue bar on top of Steemit.com right now could be used to read something like: 'big change happening in 5 days, make sure you do xxx so you are prepared for this change'. This way people will feel prepared and are not in shock from the sudden change. Of course this still would not inform everyone, but more than were informed now.
• I personally appreciate the Engineering Updates, but I know how to read them. Most people don't. Maybe make it more fun and add a 'Translation for non-techies' paragraph at the end of each post. In this case it could have read: in a few weeks you will not be able to reach your wallet through steemit.com anymore, but will be directed to a new/dedicated website. The advantage of this 'split' is amongst others better security for your STEEM holdings, safer usage of keys amongst all Steemians, and possibly faster development on steemit.com because risks for mistakes that weaken the safety of the wallet have been removed'. Even better: make a separate post once a month: What did we talk about in our technical posts that you should know about? - with a catchy title you would grab a lot of ReSteems and more 'normie' users would know about the changes happening.

In general I would suggest to take a 'mobile first' approach for everything. I've really enjoyed the 'logs' in the right sidebar, but I've learned throughout the years brainstorming/developing app ideas that people want to be able to do most things on mobile, plus in most African countries the whole 'desktop' phase was skipped, instead immediately going on mobile. So make it work on mobile and then translate to desktop.

Just some thoughts.

Personally I'm very happy with the progress you are all making on the communication front. It's a huge change from a year ago, and I personally feel very well informed. It's not just better it's also very consistent. Keep up the good work and with a few minor tweaks there will come a point where you will get kuddos from everyone, since the communication is readable and understandable for everyone.

Cheers!
