> Sometimes, all you have to do is ask. - Randy Paush

There are already half a million active Steem accounts ([source](https://steemit.com/statistics/@arcange/steemit-statistics-20180706-en)), and that's why it becomes quite challenging to get a representative idea on the general user experience in the network.

Unless you ask for it.

**Since I'm looking forward to learning more about the community's spirit, interests and concerns, I've set up the 'Steem Summer Survey': An open survey with 15 questions around your personal experience on Steem.**

I'm pretty sure the results could be incredibly interesting to the whole Steem community!

The Steem Summer Survey

# Knowledge is power

**I'm pretty sure that learning more about the general user experience can help us all to constantly improve it.**

When talking about Steem in the survey, I'm referring to the whole Steem blockchain, including all applications and tools built on it.

For more information on the impressive Steem portfolio, please check these two websites:
* http://steemtools.com
* https://steemprojects.com


Important: You can stay completely anonymous during the survey if you want, don't have to leave any of your personal data in order to complete the form, and of course I'll share the results with the Steem community afterwards.

> By the way, if you are a developer: We need a survey feature in the editors of our Steem UIs :-)

### Since there is no log-in required, the participation per user is not technically limited. That's why I kindly ask every steemian to complete the form only once.

## Let's go - click on the following image or [HERE ](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2pZdKQIrKb_LoS_WgrYmSUofqaNclE4fc45Id3Lcv_ta2CA/viewform?usp=sf_link)to start the survey!
*The link will direct you to an open Google document.*

### Thanks for participating - share it with your steemy friends!

**If you think the questionnaire could have included another specific question - let me know in the comment section.**

Depending on the community's feedback, the experiment might be repeated in the future :-) 

The results of the survey will be published in my blog @surfermarly after the 15th of July 2018.

> Remember: We are the community of Steem, and it's in our hands to make it the place we want it do be.

Give this a like if you feel it, and share the post with your followers.
