Why work on scalability before SMTs and hf20  when we are never using more than 0,2% ? SMTs won't dramatically increase it straight away. EOS is slowly gaining on us and might beat us in the race if we continue running in such a slow pace.

I've been here for longer than 10 months and the only changes we got in that time are custom banners and a laughable redesign of the front end and the logo (this could be done in a day).

Apps like busy and steepshot have more development in a month than steemit in 10. Why?

Also the lack of development on SMTs is causing us to lose a lot of potential partners and if it continues that way all of them will soon go to EOS or ETH if they are really unpatient and want to take compromises to go live sooner.

>Why work on scalability before SMTs and hf20 when we are never using more than 0,2% ?

I had the same question. Maybe theres are more problems regarding scalibility that doesnt necesarily relate to the blockchain capability. 
For example: the rapid grow in accounts creation vs. the physical cost of creating each account + the low user retention in the platform.
Those are problems with scalability even tho if they dont represent an overload in the system. 
Just a guess, but i would love to have a certain answer. 
Thanks for adressing these problems, @runicar.

The 0.2% statistic that is reported at https://www.blocktivity.info/ is just one measure of scalability. The RAM requirements for full nodes to operate (as well as exchange nodes) has been increasing at an unsustainable rate for some time now. There are some details in [this post](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/exploring-steem-scalability). Solving scalability _before_ we do things that will drive a large number of new users to the platform seems like the right order to do things in.

Condenser (the code for steemit.com) hasn't seemed like a super high priority, but that doesn't mean nothing is getting done. Look at the development activity in [GitHub](https://github.com/steemit/). There is a lot of development activity going on in other projects.

They are more focused on the front-end. Steemit seems to be working on more framework and back-end applications.

There is not a lack of development. Again, check out the GitHub repository. There has been a lot of SMT development going on for the past ~6 months.
