What is the most needed tool that has yet to be developed for steem?
As someone who has worked on the @coffeesource.net tool for making and filtering tables of contents, I am constantly surprised at all the cool things that have yet to be developed on for steem. Sure we have a ton of great tools already, but there is so much left to do!
So my question today is for all of you - What process would you most like to automate? Where could we save time with a little programming and some elbow grease?
What I really want to see and be developed for Steem is an alternative on how blog posts are being displayed on one's feed or as I like to call it: A Facebook-Like News Feed!
I think we can all agree that the current News Feed Display is a huge mess. At the moment posts are being sorted from the newest created one (or resteem) to the oldest. This is a big problem if you are following a lot of people as you are likely to be overwhelmed by a number of low-quality posts.
What I want is basically a Facebook-like News Feed algorithm that would display first the "popular" posts that have a lot of interactions and real-human upvotes and posts that I might be interested in. I don't know how Facebook does it, but Steem badly needs an algorithm similar to that one.
Oh, man. There are so many things lacking. I'd love to see a smooth, modular front-end system that provided a ridiculous amount of utility and flexibility. Being able to tap user's names to auto-add their tag in a comment is a small thing I'd love to see on Partiko. Also, to have a visualization of votes trickling in, with their strength (like on Steemnow) but integrated in the browser itself, maybe you could swipe left and right to put different filters over the blockchain to access different data. Overall, this is still such a new space! Exciting and frustrating at the same time.

I think there should be a tool to support minnows without just upvoting content, but reading and reviewing that. Also when I started steemit I got about 100 followers in just 1 day, since they followed me before even posting anything, there are not for the content (clearly foolish). Not even 5 people from my followers comment or upvote my contents, so there should be a way to stop this unwanted following and to make followers follow only if they like the content of the creator and want to get updates from him.
