RE: Performance and Scalability Updates
I completely agree with you here @liberosist! If I may quote my own post from just now...
I would love to see a little 'News flash' link in the top-right menu (you know, with the Welcome, FAQ, Currency Market, etc.)
It could contain tiny updates like "Made a few fixes to the site", "Got a new server running", "Updated the code", "Nice weather, huh?" well... anything really to show a sign of life. I think regular tiny updates like that would calm people's nerves a lot and would stop the complaining about communication. Everyone will know where to go for info and everyone can see a sign of life every week or so.
People don't need specifics. They just need to know developers are aware of issues and are working on fixing them. Here on Steemit, it's hard to know where to get this reassurance, but it's so important to keep your members patient.
Perhaps when Community feature is implemented, we won't need such news flashes to clutter our home screens. Anyone interested can get that news by going to the respective community, I guess. But yeah, we do need some solution for the problem you have pointed.
I think any community site like this could benefit from a specific page with some updates. Especially when things aren't running very smoothly like lately. Ofcourse, we don't need many details mostly. I think any specifics would do fine in a dedicated community like you said :-)
Agree!
