Thanks for motivating me to dust off the sites I’d started and left unattended! I think the priorities you’ve already outlined are spot on, so I don’t have much to add or request until I see a bit more! I am however using WordPress, so the thought of a plug-in implementation is highly intriguing. I’ll be embedding a bunch more comment threads in the days to come.
In another comment I think I confused you with the SteemPress plugin, in that I thought perhaps there was a reward split to fund development & services. I don’t see one though from Finally Comments. Please know I’d be totally fine if you implemented a small % split to yourselves and would even encourage you to do so if it would truly aid in spreading this as far and wide as a system like Disqus.
