great pick @danielsaori ! It's hard to believe @theuxyeti has only been on Steemit for about 3 months - he's got a ton of awesome posts. But now to my comment:

Although I don't know a ton about website design or how any of these apps function - I do know that Steemit needs an easier way to catalog posts and information. The Search tool kinda sucks.. I use it occasionally and have off and on success with it. If I want to learn how to create a GIF or a new banner for my page I search for it because you know someone has to have made a post on it but the results are hit or miss for me - I don't know why but it would be helpful to have a better way of locating topic posts - no matter how old they are.
Also, I think the look of the home page makes it more user friend and info accessible however it reminds me a bit of facebook.. which makes me nervous. I hope it doesn't encourage people to bring their poor facebook practices over here and start an even bigger flood of spammy posts.

Also, one question about the paradox between the anonymity and gamified set up of Steemit... adding all these favorites functions and featured users and all that - isn't this building up a more finely definied "social-data file" on each of us just like all the big players have where their algorithms start stream lining your content based on what it thinks you like - building up a online record of everything you like, comment on and search for - then turn around and sell your personal info and preferences to marketing companies so they "have a leg up" when marketing to you? Maybe this thing doesn't bother many people but it is one of the reasons I don't use other social media.. or google. It is also one of the sketchier downsides to the set up here on steemit. But I guess it's unavoidable to some degree. I'd just like to keep my degree as acute as possible.
Just a concern lol but overall the aesthetics of your design are very pleasing and I congratulate you on all your hard work on here!
