It's always great news to hear that the steemit developers are making changes to advance the platform. I know nothing about development, IT or the things that happen behind the scenes.
Sure, we'd all like to see some changes coming and new website options, etc and as my father always tells me... "just wait... things will happen".
Yes @goldendawne.
It is hard to wait for things to happen...especially when stuff is so exciting. Blockchain is new and really going to change things. That said, events need to unfold in a proper order. If the back end is not optimal and scaling is an issue, then attracting all the people in the world is only going to kill this place. They will show up and then leave.
As we progress forward, both technologically and with users, there can be a nice balance of new features and blockchain improvement.
Using the test site, it is a lot faster.
I can see how it would have to be this way; and can appreciate the work that goes into all the behind the scenes advancement.
I just sit back, wait (some days more impatiently than others) and watch. Soon I know things will come to light and all the new attributes of the platform will be unveiled.
