What about outsourcing some of the work to volunteers in the community? One of the major hurdles for Steemit is the user interface- it is way too outdated and unwieldy.
Someone needs to consolidate a lot of the information about tools and resources for STEEM and put it all in one place for people to find. Right now there are projects and ideas floating all over the place but discovering them is difficult. Even just understanding the basics like STEEM/SBD and SP is confusing for most.
