RE: Applications Team Update: Hivemind/Communities, Sign-Ups, Developer Tools, Condenser, and More!
I had no idea so many job offers had opened up, last time I checked it was only the engineering positions.
I really am glad that the team is working towards HF20 and more importantly, hivemind and the signup issue.
The one thing I would love to see done right though is the issue of user retention. Too many are leaving, being discouraged or seeking other options, many don't know ''what'' steemit is, that should be clearly defined, whether a blogging platform, a smart contract platform or a social media platform.
kudos for the updates! cant wait to see steem wide implementation of the ''editing after day 7'' posts everyone is talking bout on the SMT telegram.
https://ulogs.org etc if you are here, then people shouldn't leave
I agree with you about user retention, it really needs more work. While we have plenty of communities like @welcomewagon working to help and support new accounts, and #SteemitRamble run by @shadowspub giving accounts of all sizes the voice to speak up and share the work they are creating - it is so easy for many to come here, find nobody pays any attention to them and just leave when often they could have contributed so much.
I have heard the arguments before that big investors do not care for "Blog content", but the biggest attraction this platform will create is volume of user accounts - the biggest wallets are advertisers looking for a captive audience - when Steemit holds a substantial active User base the true potential it holds will be finally revealed.
All those people who are struggling should find each other and support each other as they grow!
If I can take a moment to plug @opgaming, we're working on the retention and networking side if things. Our goal is to help our members build up they're accounts, improve the quality of their posts, and shine a spotlight on the best place out there. If you know anyone who's a little lost, likes gaming, and wants to meet some cool people, point them our way. We'll help them out.
As a newbie here without any knowledge of cryptocurrency and coding/programming, I definetly agree with you about user retention. I was keep studying and researching about the steemit (platform), and it was too hard to define what it is. As I am researching, something else is coming up like dtube, dlive, steemhunt, and etc. These were ok to use, but other apps for developer’s app or something like steemnow are too difficult to find out what it is for people who have any knowledge of computer things. I was frustrating while I am studying about the steemit platform because there are too many steem based platforms. Moreover, I don’t know what to choose among them. Lol. Decentralizing is good, but sometimes centralizing is needed i guess personally.
It's a decentralized community and it can be lots of things to lot's of people. :)
Yeah. Agree with that as your reply up there, i need to find someone who can support/help me to understand and adapt to this community. Lol. You can be the one by the way!!! So, following you now. :)
