RE: Curator Cat: Long-Timer on Hive — A Look at the Good, the Bad and the Needed!

My likes of hive are very similar to yours. Being in some of the creative communities on hive has done wonders for my creative growth.
I also really agree that a hive based messeging system that wasn't clunky would be awesome. I also really agree about the whole "just go on a discord" thing. It would be so beneficial to have somewhere on the various websites that was built in. Though maybe limited to accounts with above a certain reputation to avoid bots flooding it?
I also really wish there was a way to get alerts when specific accounts posted things.
Something I think could make onboarding easier as well is have like a "hive lite" version where folks can post, earn hive/hp/hbd, without having to go through the rigamarole of making a wallet. This version wouldn't be able to send hive/hbd out from their account butit would also only need an e-mail/password to log-in. Then if they wanted to they could turn it into a full fledged account. It'd make it a kind of web 2.5 and I think would make getting new people, esp people new to crypto on board much easier.
I also wish there was more customization or some ablity to make a "homepage" sorta thing. I would love to have a page where I could sort my content a bit. One part with art posts, one with my writing, and the other with splinterlands.
I do hope we eventually end up with a platform wide message system that is relatively easy to use and has a small footprint. As I've said in other comments, I know there is a message system that's part of PeakD but I've never been able to get it to work, even though I try again from time to time!
I do like the idea of a hive light type of account where basically people can get started with a login with Google or log in with Facebook type approach and have access to posting features without having to worry about storing keys and understanding wallets and so forth. They would even be able to post content and watch their rewards build up they just wouldn't be able to access it until they commit to having a full account and the attendant responsibilities.
I think the Inleo community has something like that going or some variation of it.
