I'd LOVE to be more involved. I'd LOVE to share a lot of feedback and quality assurance work and user interface streamlining and and even managing a small team that can redesign, redevelop and improve a lot of things for the front end. IF(!) anybody would care to listen and would be willing to follow up with changes.
I think i can bring a lot of value from years of experience, user's usability research and a lot more that i could bring to the table.
I am not even bringing up compensation! If i am paid for it - it is awesome and it is some motivation. If I am not paid, i could still contribute a lot IF that help was in demand.
But what I am not going to do - to waste my time if nobody is interested to do anything with what I can bring to the table. No time to just yapping into deaf ears. For just yapping maybe i'll do some... blogging on Steemit. lol.
Private message me and let's chat....oh wait. Would love to clone Steem, raise some $ and really build out an amazing g experience. Been thinking abt this since they launched.
How to private message you? LOL. How ironic this question in the context of the above. Anyway, you know how to private message me.
Actually i might also add a link to my Discord to my profile. I registered with it for the only purpose to be able to communicate with some Steemians :-) This messenger seems the most popular among them. (Them? Us? Hmm.. an interesting thought about self-identification).
As for cloning Steem... Why cloning? I would redesign it from scratch with different rules. I might even connect it to other crypto currencies and blockchains. Maybe even more than one!
As for blogging society i am torn apart in my thoughts between the best approach. I know that extreme approaches do not work. But i still cannot find the perfect balance between capitalism, socualism, democracy, dictatorship, maybe even spice it up with elements of communism lol. Ok, jokes aside it is a very serious question actually, the fundamental for the platform.
As for funding... I just invested in 2 large projects. Well, very large on my litle scale. Although it would be enough to redo Steemit from scratch without any third party fundraising. If either one takes off (for real) i might be able to fund the development myself. A bigger question is - do i really want to get into it? How risk analysts looks... What kind of ROI can it bring? Are the benefits worth the risk, hassle and expenses? Would this project be any better than others that i had in mind? I am not the best mind for social platforms. Well, maybe that could actually be an advantage to build something from scratch with a clear fresh mind?
Too many questions, too little answers so far. You caught me off-guard with your idea to juts make it properly. For a moment i even thought "why not"?
Anyway, mental exercises are great. But I am not jumping into anything without proper research and analysis.
Maybe we can talk more in private.
Good luck anyway, regardless where it leads us :-)
p.s. i have some ideas for other blockchain technologies where I think it is worth more to invest than in a social blogging platform...
