I do agree that the social media UIs for Hive need a lot of work still. Sometimes I feel that there's so much focus on the rewards aspect that other important aspects of these UIs are neglected. But in fairness to the current UI devs, they are mostly composed of pretty small teams, and UI requires a lot of work to develop and test.

For the past year, contributions by the BlockTrades team on the UI front have been pretty limited (mostly occasional contributions to condenser and hive-js by two of our guys whenever they have some free time). But I have a decent sized team of UI guys that I plan to get more involved in Hive UI development eventually, once they complete a really big project that's been going on for the past couple of years and unfortunately has a very tight deadline for completion (or the project fails entirely).
