I have great respect for what the Devs have done, but at the same time its no good having the back end working great, larger user bases supported etc if there are no users. 
Its so frustrating working with the existing interface. Today yet again I made a mess of a post because of having to use the terrible interface. Well done @unipsycho great work on this tool.

I didn't mean nothing bad about steemit devs. I'm just asked some questions which I think a lot of people here want to know.  Your explanation is great and I think it will sit well with many.

> They are instead focusing on the backend, figuring out how to support larger user bases, new native features, and fixing bugs with the protocol.

IMO, this is precisely what they should be doing.

Having the front end created and run by the same people that also run the backend is a necessary starting point, but the power of the blockchain is that anyone can build a front end.

If steem ends up being very sucessful in the future, i think in five years, we'll all look back on the early days and say something like "remember when steem was so small we had to build our own front end and have people interact with the blockchain that way."

Robrigo, I totally agree and respect the devs completely, none of this is easy.  Autosteem is strictly that, a front end service on all the devs awesome work on the backend and projects like busy.org coming is much larger than autosteem and I'm exciting about it as well.

This project wouldn't be possible without these libraries and SteemJS is an awesome example of that for devs like me.  Oldtimer simply asked a question, I know many have asked that as well.  I do understand the time it takes for the WHOLE of what steemit HQ has to do, and they are doing well at bringing in lots of new features to steemit, hard to keep up with actually.  Like NSFW filters, I had to add that since they appeared at Steemit and I knew then it was good for autosteem as well.
