Hi @jesta, I am a relative newbie to Steemit, but already I use a lot of the tools that you have created and I find them extremely useful. Firstly I just want to say thank you to your commitment to such a great and revolutionary platform. I am fairly technical and work in the ICT space, but as a new user of the platform, getting your head around all the 'steem tools' available is a very steep learning curve and as you say they all offer value, but they can definitely do with some refinement and focus which will help the less technical users as they continue to come onto the platform.

I believe your focused roadmap for 2018 is a very good idea. One of the greatest think I have found about the community on Steemit is the focus on quality of posts and content. Likewise I believe that if you focus your attention on the three key projects you mentioned above (Vessel 2.0, SteemDB 2.0, and SteemDB 2.0 API) you will be able to create great quality, robust applications that are built for the long-term.

As a user of the platform, I intend to be here for the long-term, so I am more than happy to do without the 'goodies' or 'wants' for a while and be patient for the quality and rigidity that the 'platform' needs for the long-term.

I do not pretend to know what the platform needs, but I know you are a very influential member of the community who most likely knows better than most what the platform needs. I just want to say that I support your strategy of focus and quality. I as a user are happy to be patient and watch this space to see the masterpieces your create.

Good Luck and thanks again for being such a force for good on the platform.
