RE: Is Dlive just another corporate acquisition?
What I do think needs to happen on Steem however is that the developers have to start seriously considering the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) of their applications and start building places that end users love
Been saying this for months while everyone was dicking around talking about buzz words that mean nothing to the end user.
If crypto at large wants to continue "rotting" in its ideologies we should let it, STEEM doesnt have to.
Decentralized options will develop but that should have never been the primary focus of any dapp on any blockchain. Not a single thing matters if the user experience sucks or it cant compete with the mainstream legacy options in usability.
Anyone that thinks otherwise is stuck in a cultist mindset..
What I have never understood is why it is this way when there are already decent design models available. Just copy and adapt for blockchain integration.
Maybe that code isn't openly available? If someone wanted to copy FB, Twitter or Instagram for example...

It is just in the design elements, the layout and the points of gamification. There are plenty of Web designers that can do the job as coders aren't generally the greatest facilitators of end user experience.
You're right! Coders generally don't have empathy...
I tihnk there is a difference in interest and focus. Tech people often are process/detail orientated. End users are more reason (why)/ possibility focused. End user experience needs to give people the reason to and then a smooth flow toward getting a future result - this normally means clear and without complication and complexity. I have had to learn "how to Steem" and force myself to understand the technical aspects to some level in order to participate and do what I like to do. Most end users will not go over such hurdles, they want convenient.
This. Steempeak does a good job - absolutely stellar compared to steemit.
