I totally agree. It's fine for crazy, pioneering souls like us, but to really take it mainstream, the interface needs work. Piston is a good work in progress. Would be nice to see more projects like that. I'm sure there will be plenty of them soon though because the incentive is obviously there.

Piston looks great! I'm waiting for some mobile and desktop apps, that'll really help. I'm sure they figure all of this out - we're still in beta after all.
My bigger concern for the mainstream audience are the three different Steem assets. It's a powerful and robust system, but may be a bit too complex for the average Facebook user. Perhaps there could be an "easy mode" with just Steem Dollars? And tie up with an exchange which does Steam Dollar to US Dollar / fiat currencies. Just a thought.
easy mode is a great idea! The 3 different Steems are definitely confusing a lot of people including some tech people who just don't want to deal with such complexities.
Nice guys good to see you 2 get together :D

Do have a look and comment, would love your feedback!
Yeah, I'm launching a new series to provide help with stuff like that for the newcomers who don't have a programing or economics background. The current platform takes for granted that people have a certain level of familiarity with this stuff and I think some newbies are feeling overwhelmed when they see things like the internal market.
Great, that'll really help. I hope there's some clear documentation from the Steemit folks too. A one pager - the white paper is too complex.
By the way, I wrote up a guide for beginners a couple of days back too - https://steemit.com/steemit/@liberosist/beginner-s-guide-to-steem
yeah, there are plenty of written guides but unfortunately, very few people bother to read them :-/
