Improvent that Im mostly looking after on steem right now is private messages between users.
Lack of this forces me to leave the platform when I need to talk to someone from here and I have to ask publicly for someone details for contact. And either mine or theirs data is being revealed while doing so.
This is a major flaw.
Also some sort of notification, when somebody answered me would be useful.
Those things look tiny at first, but once introduced they prove to be very convenient and major improvements.
I know this from experience from other websites, so its not just a theory.
I would like also private messages between users and user based search.
Totally agree with you @laserade, private messages will be awesome to have on Steemit.
About notifications, I tried playing with the app Steemify once, it didn't really do anything in terms of notifications or maybe I'm just missing something.
I fully agree! I've had to track people down in all kinds of ways because I didn't want to give out private information publicly!
private messages are absolutely needed.
