Steemit needs better notifications, when you earn a new follower notify.
This is a request for better UX and UI. Notifications for replies are good, but now it's time to put in notifications for new followers and to also create a sound effect to alert the user when there is a reply. This will encourage people to focus on acquiring followers and also indirectly help with marketing.
eSteem has notifications for Vote, Follow, Comment, Reblog, Mention. Planning to add notifications for Transfers and Claim rewards... :)
Thinking about how you can see who followed and unfollowed you in your wallet history on Golos made me think of the same thing.
I half agree with you.
I agree with knowing when new people follow you... but there is a really nice tool for that, try this:

With regards to sound effects. It feel that it might breed steemit addicts, that every single time the computer chimes, we race back to it.
At some point, we need to live our lives way from the computer. I already spend enough time on here. If my computer started beeping every time I got a reply, it would just encourage me to check it (and I don't want that)
It's bad enough that I can't shut my phone or my text alerts off without guilt. I don't want my computer bothering me too. :)

It's not straight on Steemit but it's still accessible.
Yes, I like the idea of a new follower alert. I can see I have new followers, but don't have an idea of who it is.
It would be nice. I think new followers would appreciate being greeted, or some availability for contact to be made in that new connection other than a reply on a post.
One thing I will say is the connection that facebook makes now in the messenger app, automatically connectkng you to a new friend if they have the messenger, I think thats valuavle because it opens that line of communication from the start.
