Hi
This is a detailed and bold analysis of the situation, which is brave and I think balanced. I think the backend and Frontend responsibilities you point out are important, because Hive as the first layer has a different focus then Leo as a second layer.
But at the same time is also a GUI and a community, and that’s what people see, the front end. People’s frustrations with the perceived pace of GUI development probably under appreciates the backend work as you have so fairly pointed out, to give credit where it’s due. But it’s the GUI that people see, and they only think about the backend when it doesn’t work.
Additionally, the community relies on the leadership to keep us relevant and support bold moves. All project leaders have a role in keeping the project in the public eye directly with press releases or indirectly with PR members and promoting project involvement in big shifts in the industry. DeFi has been a big shift this year and it would be good for Hive to be involved. Leadership can produce opportunities or support them with PR and investment. An example is Wrapped Hive on Uniswap. I think it was a good project for reasons which include expose Hive to Ethereum and some potential price appreciation and community direct involvement with DeFi and that is a two way street bringing investors and potentially developers to this space.
Nice post,
