Mr Whale @transisto does not like the Steemit UI and says that it encourages groupthink through a prominent trending page.

@Zappl should hurry up and give @transisto a reason to support zappl.io as an alternative Steem UI.
All we can do if provide the best service and launch possible with the allocated funds we have gotten from the community who helped us fund the project. As for trending well you kinda have to go looking for it. You main feed is only by people you follow, So its more connection based then here in your face.
