I mean, if we are talking decentralization, then there is no need for a 'central" front end in any niche, it is an open market, where competition can drive the quality of services delivered.

Steemit Inc. needed its own front end, a decentralized chain doesn't.

But it can be utilized for transparency and for the needs of those coders who choose to utilize that UI for their apps (if needed).

A wallet that can be used by anyone, a site that shows everything that is on the chain and can be used to get all the latest and greatest info about Hive and all the apps and Dapps.

No centralization, a competitive market of diverse services utilizing the chain.

Sounds a lot more like the dream that we had about making a real decentralized chain offering its fast and free transactions to the entire world for any business, big or small, that can make good use of our chain!
