I am using Steemit for 3weeks, a couple of hours per day. I might be addicted.. so being a power user, i came across some things which i think could be improved.
I dont know how to reach @DAN and @NED, someone suggested a slack channel, but i am not using Slack, so if you have a way to reach them, please send them my post.
So i would like to give some
1.) Followers Function (i wrote about that function Here) according to DAN it is already in testing
2.) Schedule Posts ( i like writing 1 post per day, but if i write one i sometimes prepare the post for the next day , would be great if we could set a date and time, similar to WordPress)
3.) Draft Posts (It would be great to draft Posts, so if we think about things to post we could start gathering pictures and start writing text, but finishing it later)
4.) Picture area for thumbnail (It would be great if we could chose the area of a picture which will be displayed)
5.) Twitter, Facebook or other Social Integration (I am manually posting my Steemit Posts now in other networks to get more users to join Steemit, if i could click on a Twitter icon to tweet it out, that would be great)
6.) Menu-bar improvement (It drives me nuts that i have to click on that icon on the upper right side to acess wallet etc. Everything from Blog, Post to Wallet could be placed in the centre beween the Steemig logo and Submit a story)
7.) Move the Submit a Story Button (I am clicking at least once a day on Submit a story, but i want to access my account...)
8.) Show remaining Voting Power (yes i can go to Steemd, but why not show it in Steemit?)
9.) Add a downvote button (I dont want to flag stuff, i just want to upvote or downvote)
10.) Add stories i might like (Shuffle me stories on Steemit i might like, for example based on what i liked, or who i am following, what did they vote etc.)
I am sure i missed a lot things, so please comment if you have other things you noticed. And maybe you would like to discuss some of these suggestions i made, please leave me a comment if you dont agree with them and have an open discussion
We need our bio section and channel banner like youtube , steemit.com ,needs to overtake youtube.com

i dont know if we compete with youtube. youtube is just a tool for content.
we can share all youtube content via steemit via embedding the video!
steemit is unique, so there is not real competitor atm.

Interesting list of suggested features. I'm positive we'll get to see those integrated with the platform soon enough. However, point number 5 is already implemented which was also pointed by @lorddominik007.
I would like to see one particular feature that provides the ability to view Vests along with SP. A lot of other features provided at steemd.com along with integration of various tools listed at steemtools.com
From the design perspective, I personally liked the following two proposals:
First Design by @etherdesign
Second Design by @dudutaulois

Hello, there is a SHARE button on the lower right corner of your post, you can use that to share to your #social media.(Twitter and Facebook at the moment) Your other ideas are really good though, keep it up :-)
please check out my idea of minimal upvote payouts:

You have some really good ideas. I was thinking... Why isnt there a way to add your friends. Maybe even like a referal rewards.

yes referrals would be really great!
but i think they will not implement a system with referrals payout, as that might look like a ponzi.

I like most of your suggestions except one: 9) add a downvote button.
For 2 reasons:
Imagine you have hundreds minnows upvoting a post to support the point of view of the author. If you have just one whale who don't like the pov expressed there, he can downvote and undermine all the support the post received.

I guess the whole idea is that Steemit should be really decentralized, not just X and Y to decide what to implement and what not.

i think the blockchain and steem has to be decentralized, but steemit is website, i think that the founders of that site should implement the necessary features. until now they have done most things right, so i have great hopes in them !

Like number 8 the most. Will make be more considering of their votes. Like a wishlist for amazon but for features on steemit. great headlines! The flag is a downvote @knozaki2015...right?

no the flag should be used for posts which you think are not appropriated. like a reporting system.
atm there is no downvote button
