Hivemind may be a step in the right direction but I don't think that it will change much for me and my databases. It seems to store a lot of community data in the 'custom_json' operation and this proves that there is much more possible with the steem blockchain than many people might have thought before.

Since I'm already indexing the data in my own way, I'm currently not in the need of using Hivemind, but it is indeed a very interesting 'project' for many developers out there. I'm curious to see where the journey will take us to :)
