You are 100% correct that Hive needs to rethink or reinvent its growth strategy.
You are also spot-on in your assessment of the dApp problem.
As I briefly stated during my presentation at HiveFest, a killer developer’s portal and an asynchronous developer’s bootcamp are desperately needed.
Although I’m not a developer per se, I have lots of programming experience. I tried to teach a university class a couple years ago focused on Hive dApp development.
The documentation and tutorials and libraries in the developer section were all dismal and/or broken.
We have nearly $20 million in the DHF. We should be using that to fund (1) development of a stellar developer’s portal / bootcamp and (2) ongoing hackathons or active RFPs aimed at recruiting and funding new dApp developers.
