theuxyeti is working on a fuller featured UI design that he calls sweetsteem. You've probably heard of that. He's been trying to get some people who will do blockchain work so he can actually connect to it. I hope he gets it. What I've seen of what he's been doing is way above what we've got to work with now.
I sure hope that SMTs work out like they say they will. Hopefully, they're pouring in quite a bit of time and expertise on those since it's not happening here yet.
