I have tons of experience designing friendly user interfaces, but I can't for the life of me get Piston running. I spent a whole weekend trying and nothing. Hopefully, after the project matures a little I'll be able to make some large contributions. I feel a little sad I can't do it now, to be honest.

The bigger question in my mind is what are the highest value features to drive user engagement and growth on the current platform. I believe its onboarding messaging, discovery, branding, and search (see here). Thoughts @piedpiper?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yeah, the search seems to work well enough but I'd love it if we had profile pages that worked more like the facebook timeline and wouldn't even have to be connected to the blockchain. Messaging would be nice too but, as I said, the new interfaces can tackle this stuff. The Steemit devs have their hands full enough as it is and are probably dreaming of a vacation by now.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I did not see this post when I posted mine Steem has great potential for growths but new users have a steep learning curve and many who are used to writing at other places may be a little off put by the interface. I have proposed some enhancements. https://steemit.com/steemit/@iamwne/proposal-to-amend-steemit-interface I really think that some improvements to the interface are a great idea.

Instead of whining about other people's successes, why not work on improving your grammar skills and punctuation for starters? No one is playing you, you're playing yourself. Grow up.

You're acting like a pathetic child. Come on now, have some self respect, and contribute instead of whining. Steemit isn't "playing you"-- try "every other social network ever" has "played you" and you don't even know how to react upon seeing one that doesn't. Happens to a lot of folks-- just snap out of it okay?

I don't need Steem to be Facebook - after all, we have Facebook for that. Or LinkedIn... But I do need Steem to provide a better way to filter content. I am a health expert and a political junkie. There does not seem to be a way for me to filter the content for my topics of interest. Also, I cannot gain a following for my brilliant posts because there is no way for others to selectively find my posts without remembering my username and typing it in all the time. Would it really help to post an introduction blog?

Please explain. How does an intro help if people cannot follow me anyway? If they like what they learn about me and recognize that I have useful information, what next? It all seems rather pointless.

I suggest to study https://steemit.com/trending/introduceyourself and learn how people introduce themselves successfully there - there is no guarantee on anything of course. But that category seems to be monitored by a lot of steemians for new exciting introductions...good luck ;-)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Oops. I finally took the time to figure out how to embed my photos and create a great introduction, but my main tag is introduction instead of introduceyourself, so I doubt anyone will find it. It would be helpful if the tag choices were organized somehow (other than random ones being alphabetically listed on the bar on the right when I am on my home page (which is of course not available to me when I am submitting a post), OR if when I started typing in the box, autofill choices were provided. Either of these options would help organize posts so that interested parties could find them more easily. For instance, is the common tag health, or healthcare? If I get it wrong, few people will find the post.

Great stuff as usual from piedpiper, many "newbies" are expecting a fully functional platform based on the 20k posts payment hype but the reality is Steemit is still in beta and it has a long way to go with many key features still missing. And the scary thing is, Steemit hasn't gone fully viral yet, imagine what could happen if celebrities and famous youtubers and social media stars start to sign up...

Ok, this is good to know. But do you already have an idea about what will be the purpose of Steemit ? Will it become something like Facebook ? Or something like Youtube, LinkedIn, ... ? There are many possibilities, I think. I even think you can make Steemit in something that combines all of these social media. Steemitbook, SteemitTube, SteemitIn, ... something like that. Anyway, it would be nice to know what your initial plan will be.
