User Alerts can be received on Discord thanks to @ginabot (see this post) I have yet to try it out myself.

Something I would like to see added is a warning for the dust threshold (When upvoting something so payout is between 0.00$-0.019$ it gets turned into dust when it is supposed to be paid out unless more upvotes came in to get it abve that amount)

To counter the fact that smaller accounts are mostly unable to upvote comments on their own just to show appreciation or to give a sign that it's been read, it would be nice if there was an option on posts and comments to directly send an SBD tip. This would give sbd also a good usecase.

Steemit would be better if it had a better userinterface and more indicators like busy.org has even though the @steem-plus brower plugin provides all those (I would recommend to try it out)

I hope the communities hivemind update will bring a lot of improvements to the platform.
