<p><strong>UI Isn't Everything, But It's a Crucial Customer-Facing Component</strong></p>
<p>I'm glad Steemit is still being developed. I won't pretend to fully comprehend ALL of the technical details regarding the recent hard fork, but dApps will only survive with active development teams.</p>
<p>Steemit's user-interface doesn't necessarily bother me, but I'm 30 years old and have essentially been working in tech since I was 16. The first website I ever navigated to, pretty sure it was with the Netscape browser, was StarWars.com in 1997.</p>

<p>Looks like a web project that an elementary/middle school student would do today.</p>
<p><strong>If Steemit wants Wider Adoption, it Needs to be Pretty</strong></p>
<p>Take a look at Scorum, a brand new blockchain-based blogging platform focused on sports &amp; gambling content.</p>

<p>It's still a rather simple interface, but it also looks elegant.</p>
<p>IMO, Steemit would absolutely benefit from a UI facelift :)</p>
<p>What about everyone else? Does the Steemit UI matter to you? Do you think it matters to people who are new to decentralized blockchain-based blogging apps? Let me know, and thanks for reading!</p>
