Yeah completely agree. That's why I see this as two separate evolution processes. The community is amazing. THE REAL VALUE HERE.

The development then is lacking and not catering to the needs of the collectives. Which is why I believe people need to make more noise.

See, recently there was an "askHive" of what was missing here. That post got a lot of suggestions and the two that got repeated was the same two I hold vital. A mobile app that brings traffic and ways for Hive to retain that traffic (social tools.)

YET...
What happened?
NOTHING.

Even certain "whales" said, "hey Hiveans we heard you." but hey those whales make their bread regardless. If there were follow ups and an actual roadmap then things could move efficiently.

Anyway I admire your mindset.
You're the very type that's keeping this alive so well done for what you do here and what your committed to do for others to improve their experience on Hive.
