Perhaps Blocktrades needs to hire more developers so that there can be more division of labour, we cannot underrate the importance of development both frontend and backend while seeking for progress, nor can we neglect frontend for backend or vice-versa. Both need to move tandem.
Without developers, Khals ideas would have only been ideas and hardly/slowly implemented, It is easier for Leofinance to piggyback Hive due to the core backend work already been done by Blocktrades dev team..
Comparing Hive to Leofinance
This is another setback of decentralization where it falls short of efficiency. There is so much to do, but without a head, the lead dev team can only take on what they feel is important, which they've been doing on Hive, whereas on Leo, the head can steer the direction of the development that makes up his idea. So much for decentralization, but yeah we understand why. Taking a cue from bitcoin, development came from within the community, maybe Hive just doesnt have enough reach,..maybe will do with time.
Much can be done to foster growth on Hive, stakeholders have a part to play so do witnesses.
My take is in the first paragraph
I think BT is well staffed. They have a lot of people working on different things. There are now people working on the front end. That is not the greatest concern to me. Actually, what is being done at the core level is advancing at a great pace. I cut them some slack. I am far from an expert but I know when dealing with code that goes back more than 5 years and was jumbled from the start, things are not easy. A lot was rewritten since the hard fork which is advancing things.
I guess the point is there is an opportunity for the different communities to step up, in a way similar to Leofinance. Perhaps they cant go to the same degree because, as you noted, Khal is a man on a mission.
Nonetheless, we have not seem much from any of the communities. Maybe there is a lot of stuff in the pipeline (and I do know a few projects that are working on things), but it is not obvious to the average user.
