We don't "NEED" to be told to "check Github" for what is currently being worked on
Verses:
"What features would you most like to see here?"
Now all we need to do is remember where to go for help, and where to post suggestions, for Hive Block Chain in general - Hive.IO Community-
I do get tired of that check github, now gitlab. Same or different I do not know, I see both sites mentioned. of course there is also the discord chat rooms available.
One of the "must do's" to start appealing to a broader user base is to cut way back on all the technical stuff. 99% of the world simply doesn't care.
I was looking at a post in trending I thought was going to help me move some Steem-Engine tokens... I get halfway in, and there are a bunch of command line instructions. Nice... BUT... maybe 1-in-100 people even know how to exit Windoze to command line, let alone how to execute a set of root commands to bypass an interface.
Not to criticize the poster, AS LONG AS we're all happy just being a tight little club for dApp developers. But who's going to USE those dApps? Other developers? I doubt it.
You have to meet people where THEY are, not where YOU are.

They are doing a little bit better at meeting people halfway with the language. A few of the front ends are doing great at trying to meet their users need. peakd and esteem, seem to be leading the way on "here is where you go to get help from us", 'here is where we take suggestions', and they do take into account peoples wants and desires, at least those two do. The folks at LEO Finance are also taking peoples needs and wants into account. So far the front ends and dApps on Hive Block Chain; seem to be doing a better job of that than when on steem chain.
One of the reasons I really like PeakD is exactly that they have a better and easier to understand user interface; I also like that more things are in one place. And yes, I also like Leo Finance because they are doing some actual building of value added features, even though they are more of a "niche" community.
We're definitely better off than we were with development on Steem; we just can't afford to "sit still" and think that just because Hive was created, people will suddenly flock in out of nowhere.
And yes, I am very much a believer in the potential of Hive!

I think we do have potential also, and I am looking forward to see how a true decentralized hard fork will go, not the first one I think that will be rather centralized in the process, but the next one where we figure out how we get things presented, and how the ordinary person lets wants and needs be know.
