Hey Dan, great initiative! Onboarding is one of the main problems on Hive and maintaning new users is an even bigger one!
By the way, I would love to see a similar initiative but this time focused 100% on communities. I really believe that communities are the key to maintain new users on chain.
It's quite tough for a single person like you to support every author on chain but it becomes quit easy when community leaders receive support (for example delegations or following a community curation trail) 'cause then this job is split among many more people. The bigger the rewards, the most likely new users will keep posting.
I am always available for a chat regarding how we can support various niche communities.
If you ever have some free time and feel like curating, you can take a look at our skateboarding community called @skatehive.
Cheers man and keep up the awesome work
