All excellent points made @musicsteem and some very good suggestions within the comments here. It's kind of why I posted the question first in taking that challenge on.

I'm not sure if there might be some copyrite infringement with "like" features from other platforms and I'm sure Steemit isn't ready to get into a long drawn out legal battle draining their resources. I guess it's up to us to build something new and wonderfully user friendly.

The wallet thing is disturbing and I agree one should have the option to hide certain aspects. I also use the search tool a lot such as it is and I've learned to pare down my search words when using it.

Pleasure meeting you...surfing the steem waves has been an eye opening experience.

EDIT: Yes? now that is progressive ...I'm impressed!
