Your edit proposal section is not seeming to function. I wrote this and could not submit it:
The wording of the site. I live in Ecuador - it looks like it was written by a native Spanish speaker. It refers to the image above, which is, in fact below.
"Discover on which technology is based our application." Nobody would ever say that in English. So, an alternative which is a bit more dynamic..., "Discover the technology which drives ESTEEM8."
Being user-centric is key. There does not appear to be a "Golden Path" on the platform but it may be early days for that, though I hope it exists in your wire-frames.
I used to work in Digital Media so these things are just givens, to me.

[I took a stab at it.](https://github.com/esteem8app/esteem8.org/pull/1) It's clear you're not native English speakers so a really good idea to invite edits!

Some tips. Note that some of this is taken care of by my edit, the quotes are based on the original.

### Use only meaningful buzzwords

> ESTEEM8 is a decentralized, autonomous and community driven organization.

It's not clear if you mean to talk about Steem the network or your org. To me this is intriguing on first glance and them becomes confusing. What are you trying to say with each advective here?

This goes for the rest of the doc too, make sure you use words correctly, like "bandwidth".

### Focus on the app

I didn't do it in my edit, but you should reorder ESTEEM8 ORG and ESTEEM8 APP sections so that ESTEEM8 APP comes first. More important than your org (if you're unknown) is the product. The exception would be if you're trying to build the org branch and sell the app through that publicity.

### Clarify your USP

While it's clear you are really focused on UI and UX, you need to develop what is unique about your app. Okay so it's using basically [Google's material design](https://material.io/guidelines/material-design/introduction.html) approach, but why is that awesome beyond that?

### Decide who your audience is

If you're targeting existing Steem users, it's fine to go on about the blockchain as most people will know about it. If you're targeting the general public, you'll need to limit the amount of Steem and blockchain jargon and instead just give the impression it is super high tech, citing its best features.

For example, it's a gamble to say

> We try to provide the best application available to browse the Steem network that is also called ESTEEM8.

What's the Steem network? Should I care? Do I have to sign up for it or pay a subscription? These may be some questions a new user would have.

### Say things well, say them once

Don't go on and on about the same thing, just try to hit each thing you want to say once and say it well. This also requires clarifying what things are important to say in a doc like this.

**Good luck** 😁

Thanks for your input :)

We should have specified, the github file was related to the website page which the article is taken from. We will clarify this.

Thanks for correcting English grammar and adding water to the pool, we'll take modifications.

> Use only meaningful buzzwords

We'll keep a certain level of technical words but simplify as possible.

Esteem8 is an organization and an application, the organization is based on our application, so that's a bit hard to explain.

>  Clarify your USP

Awesomeness is based on multiple little details.

> Decide who your audience is

Mainstream people that haven't a mainstream mentality.
Also I think we can center product on a group type but fundamentally it's the group that choose the product.

> What's the Steem network? Should I care? Do I have to sign up for it or pay a subscription? These may be some questions a new user would have.

That part I totally agree.

>  didn't do it in my edit, but you should reorder ESTEEM8 ORG and ESTEEM8 APP sections so that ESTEEM8 APP comes first.

That appears to me more logic, the app is contained into the organization as it is on GitHub.

What's linked to the word ESTEEM8 is precisely described above.

The actual esteem8 composition and the plan for the future esteem8 composition is contained in [this folder](https://github.com/esteem8app/esteem8app.github.io/tree/master/docs/work-the-system).
