Thanks for your detailed comments.

In general I agree with you. You may have seen my recent post (Ura-Soul) on my experience with trying to sign up a friend to Hive - it didn't go well.

On the one hand, some of these issues can be resolved by a type of more centralized collaboration, but simultaneously the projects are individually funded/run and are to some extent competing with each other. I think that the DHF is the obvious savior of this situation in that proposals can be generated that are intended to provide high quality services/code to all dApp operators in ways that can raise the bar of the UX of hive in general.

This way the dApps only really need to collaborate in so far as adding their DHF vote to support the proposals in question, but at the same time the burden is lifted on them to achieve shared goals. In some cases, some dApps have already invested into solving some problems, such as the creation of lite accounts, so it might be more on their shoulders to make those solutions more widely available. Again, though, that is a good use case for the DHF too.

The development of the DHF to include some kind of 'job offers' site to the wider world would also help a lot. That way the community can define work that needs to be done, vote on it and then potentially effectively tender it out to the wider world - possibly then voting on who should receive the contract. This requires some substantial development, but is something I have already heard key stakeholders discussing the need for. Yet again, this is another ideal use case for the DHF itself.

The Strategizer proposal is geared up to try to nudge the situation on Hive towards solutions for all of these issues.. We will fit in as much as we can!
