There used to be a downvote button but people pressed it accidentally (?) so it was turned to flag.

Great improvements suggestions!

I would like a **save for later**, or **bookmark** post option

A bookmarking system for posts that I like would be awesome.

A chat function would also be great.

Like number 8 the most. Will make be more considering of their votes. Like a wishlist for amazon but for features on steemit. great headlines! The flag is a downvote @knozaki2015...right?

Hi! This post has a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch%E2%80%93Kincaid_readability_tests">Flesch-Kincaid</a> grade level of 7.5 and reading ease of 85%. This puts the writing level on par with Tom Clancy and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Interesting list of suggested features. I'm positive we'll get to see those integrated with the platform soon enough. However, point number 5 is already implemented which was also pointed by [@lorddominik007](https://steemit.com/@lorddominik007). 

I would like to see one particular feature that provides the ability to view Vests along with SP. A lot of other features provided at  [steemd.com](https://steemd.com/) along with integration of various tools listed at [steemtools.com](http://steemtools.com/)<hr/>

From the design perspective, I personally liked the following two proposals:

[First Design](https://steemit.com/steemit/@etherdesign/new-website-design-for-steemit) by [@etherdesign](https://steemit.com/@etherdesign)
[Second Design](https://steemit.com/steemit/@dudutaulois/is-this-the-new-steemit) by [@dudutaulois](https://steemit.com/@dudutaulois)

I like most of your suggestions except one: 9) add a downvote button.

For 2 reasons:
- it foster bad reactions and can be the best tool for trolls
- the best way to show that you don't like something is to simply ignore it. This way, only positive reaction prevails. It is also a way to respect other people opinion.

Imagine you have hundreds minnows upvoting a post to support the point of view of the author. If you have just one whale who don't like the pov expressed there, he can downvote and undermine all the support the post received.

Hello, there is a SHARE button on the lower right corner of your post, you can use that to share to your #social media.(Twitter and Facebook at the moment) Your other ideas are really good though, keep it up :-)
please check out my idea of minimal upvote payouts:

Last week I introduced steemit to a friend of mine and told him the story around it a little and he decided to give it a try.

I'll give you a summary of the experience he shared with me, knowing that it was his first intro into crypto. 

FIrst we made an account on his smartphone and he manually entered the password for verification. 

Flawless without a typo, even I  was  amazed !

After reading some stuff he noticed he would be better of being a girl.
I already was considering some professional transformation by this moment being a user for some weeks now and seeing dollars flow to male opposites en masse. 

When I told he could style his messages with markdown he was like: 'oh this is more for you computer guys and not for regular people'. 
I told him it is really simple and after 10min he'll know most basics but this couldn't convince him. He is a studied person so the problem definitely doesn't lie there, but it's more about user friendliness. 

Another thing we noticed after opening a message in the stream and going back is that we could start scrolling all over to where we left. (Iphone experience, dunno about others). 

Then he asked where he could find me so he could follow me. 
I decided to give him the url option but yeah who's expecting that.
I told him the platform is still young and enhancements probably will follow in the coming months. 
Maybe its not the purpose of steemit to follow each other, I dunno, no problem to me but many others like it i can imagine. 

Also he asked if he could download the app in place of using the browser to access the posts. 

All by all he liked the idea but there's somewhat a learning curve for completely new users.
SBD, Steem power, Steem, Bitcoin, exchanging etc. it all seems normal for us but not for most out there yet.

He decided he will probably use it in a half year or so when the system is more mature, leaving it for what it is now. 

**So summary:**

* Secure copy/paste verification password.
* Steemit hospitals for male transformation. 
Trans-gender will work also and is probably cheaper so special steem-transform coupons for those willing to keep it simple. 
* Markdown in the belly for most out there. (keep it optional for those who like it)
* Following/Finding/Messaging each other.
* Android/Iphone/Windows apps. 
* Easing the learning curve around crypto.

8, 9 and 10 would be great

Interesting post. Well done :)

We need our bio section and channel banner like youtube , steemit.com ,needs to overtake youtube.com

Looking forward to a better follower system :)

You have some really good ideas. I was thinking... Why isnt there a way to add your friends. Maybe even like a referal rewards.

wow amazing nice post you
cool

I guess the whole idea is that Steemit should be really decentralized, not just X and Y to decide what to implement and what not.

I like the schedule of posts that makes sense.

Regards,

great ideas
