How Come Steemit has such a outdated web interface?

There have been lots of complaints already about this outdated web interface. Though it is one of the standard web interface for a content website, it is not really convincing for everyone. 

When I joined steemit and when I really started understanding more about this platform, the first thing that was really disturbing for me was the interface of this website. They have restricted lots of features to make the website respond faster than other website. For a blockchain based website it is really important but at the same time interface should also be good for people to get attracted. More than attraction user retention is very important. 

If the website is going to display fake trending posts, it is not going to really help people who get inside this platform with some hopes. When they initially see the trending page, they think that they will also be getting earning like that and will not understand that it was just an outcome of using bid bots. 

The trending page is something that is really misleading for people. But if at all we have to bring something different we really cannot come up with a better idea. But we know for sure that it needs fixing. The blockchain developers are really working very hard in introducing many new features to the backend code but at the end of the day only the UI is going to attract and help people. Even though things get better day by day in the backend, people will only see what is there in the UI. 

In my opinion steemit web interface can definitely be a way better than this. When a new feature is introduced in the backend, the developers should make sure it is also introduced in the frond end as well. It even sometimes makes me feel that steemit may not be having front end developers. There are only backend developers. The UI of steemit has been like that for more than 2 years and we have not be able to see any improvements in the user interface. 

This may not be just my request alone but everyone will definitely agree to the fact that the UI of steemit is definitely outdated with no further developments recently.
