I would really like to see some work done on the organization and layout of the individual blogs. It would be awesome if posts could be somehow categorized by topic, date, quality, earnings, etc. A user friendly interface to categorize would go a long way for me as a creator since I would love to be able to separate my Travel posts from my Technology articles. Another useful feature would be a set of share buttons allowing people to easily embed their posts on other platforms to 1) get the word out about steem/steem based tokens and applications, and 2)to share valuable content currently exclusive to this platform (maybe something that prompts people to sign up for steem from other platforms)

Creating a benefit for referrals would be nice, this would definitely inspire old timers to encourage newbies to get on the platform.

I'm a litle late to this post

I would really love it if #Questions are allowed with a #ASK button. Some of us like to ask and answer questions and not necessarily post all the time like Quora

Maybe introduce a referral system where the referrer can benefit from especially if we can attract whales to be investors. Just my thoughts.

A lot of these suggestions have already been made, but I want to reiterate some of them:

- **A Resteem Tab** - This should go without saying, and it's been mentioned several times already.  This would greatly reduce clutter on a user's page while making it easier to navigate for users looking to follow a particular other user and see their content, as opposed to resteemed content.
- **UI Improvements** - Adding night mode was definitely a step in the right direction, but as @drakos pointed out, the UI is still sparse.  It's bare.  Steemit has to spend some time developing a user interface that grabs a potential user's attention and marks it as unique.  This doesn't have to be ostentatious or clogged with features, but it has to be more discerning than what we currently have.
- **A Native Messenger** - We've been relying on steemit.chat since I joined in August and before then, but forcing users off of the page to interact socially is not conducive to keeping users on the platform and using it.  Most activity is either between steemit.chat and Discord, but it would be absolutely fantastic to have an onboard messaging system that allows you to DM individual users without having to search them out in a Discord server or chat room.
- **Change Voting Reward Allocation** - As @ats-david said, linear voting has been an abject failure and has caused more problems than it's solved.  I'm not thrilled about <em>n<sup>2</sup></em> voting, either, but surely there's something else that can be implemented to address this issue.

acting like youtube and putting posts that are similar on the side could help smaller authors, make it easier to read posts for long periods of time in one subject area, and to actually make promotion useful.

Please integrate into the platform chat option, this would make steemit really awesome!!!

Good job friend, you can go to trending with you good writing more.

I think introduceyourself posts should be one of the priorities that needs attention. Not all new Steemians gets the same welcome as the others, especially if that person is really a famous one (e.g. YouTuber) compared to a non-famous one. This is just an observation. :)

Next is that, it'll be great if we can PIN our post on top. The "about me" section on the profile is just a nutshell. A lot of people get lost with the page because of posts cluttered everywhere. Like, your own post vs. resteemed posts. The two should be seperated under the blog category. Resteeming is fine especially you are spreading the content of a fellow, but wouldn't it be great if your important post that you'd like to feature would stay on top of your blog page?

Mentions is also important. If you are currently online thru a web browser, you'll see a notification. Otherwise, you'll lose track of the people giving shout-outs and mentions to you. We fail to say thank you to some of them because we're not aware that we've been mentioned by them.

@steemitblog

I would like to see some kind of edit ability within posts that are older than a week.

Currently when I write an article, I mention keywords that I will write an article on in the future. I want to be able to link to this future article for quick reference for the reader.

Is there a way we can do this currently?

Maybe in our new posts we can have a link to option that let's us link to this article from another. That could stop any unwanted editing. Although I'd still like the option.

Maybe a certain reputation score can unlock the ability?

What are Your thoughts?

My primary suggestions mostly have to do with blockchain protocols.

1. Change the voting algorithm from full linear to anything but full linear. This has been an abject failure in practice and ought to be rolled back. Then we can discuss a better alternative that is neither *n<sup>2</sup>* nor *n.*

2. Restore the 40-vote target. 

3. Remove the STEEM Power delegation function. It not only reduces user demand for STEEM on the open markets, but it has also created another avenue for widespread mismanagement and abuse/exploitation of the collective and limited reward pool.

4. Reintroduce stronger bandwidth limitations. The amount of spam on the network via posts, comments, and wallet transfers/memos from new accounts is very high and is greatly inflating the daily "transaction" numbers for the blockchain. This is "bloat" that can be easily managed. Those who wish to spam can spend money on STEEM, if they so choose.

5.  Consider reintroducing the four-post reward limits. This has no impact on the number of posts that one may publish in a given day. It only affects the total number of rewards that one user can receive from the limited collective reward pool. 

Other than those suggestions, I'd still like to see some basic features/functions implemented on the Steemit.com website. Here are some additional suggestions:

1. A separate "Resteem" tab on your individual profile page that sorts your posts from those that you have shared. This has been a feature request for over a year.

2. Restoring the pop-out window for viewing of posts that could be neatly closed without having to push the 'back' button, which often brings you back to the wrong place on the page that you were previously on. 

3. Serious consideration of revenue models that can be partially shared with investors in Steem and users of Steemit.com and affiliated apps/websites that Steemit, Inc. owns. 

4. Additional "gamification" of the platform, particularly related to holding STEEM Power - *if* the other protocol changes are made.
