It would be cool to see some of those projects continue to improve the existing system. A lot of people consider Steemit the Facebook of blockchain, but I think it has a long way to go to get there. The fact alone that most discussion takes place outside of Steemit on Discord shows that there are some gaps that projects could fill. I recently discovered musing.io and I feel that is a great addition to Steemit. Some of my first posts on Steemit were simple questions that garnered no replies due to my low reach. Musing.io opens the door for those smaller accounts to post questions and to have opinions. I also agree with @motoenginer, Steemit needs some kind of influx. I wouldn't say things have stagnated, but on many levels this wall has been built between the newcomers and the whales and everyone kind of swims in their own pond with the occasional Free Willy wall jump here and there.
