RE: What does the Founder of a non-Steem crypto app think of Steem?
The biggest thing we can do for Steem's growth is chastise everyone who continues to open a post with "Hey Steemit!"
I know Steemit is the gateway interface, but that can change. There are far better ones out there.

Hehe - well, there will always be people experiencing the Steem Blockchain only through 1 app. Maybe people will only ever use steemmonsters.com or steemit.com or drugwars.io or the Partiko app on their phone. So saying 'hi' to the community of your app is okay.
But I do get your point. We should teach/educate about Steemit, Steem and the beautiful app landscape 'out there'. I would leave the chastising to the 'older' better educated Steemians who still use Steemit as a synonym for Steem... That makes me just go:
Yeah, my comments were more directed towards those non-noobies with reputations greater than 60 that still do this. :)
I am working on an education piece for future potential steemians in my city as a way of helping with onboarding.
It remains interesting, too how people outside the eco system see it as a two dapp race.

I thought you meant 'them' too :D They're a special class of Steem Citizens...
I'm excited to hear you're active in your city and creating something to help with onboarding! There's a few projects around too that are busy thinking about how to onboard Steemians 'better', like @steemonboarding and @steemsavvy, who knows if they could use your stuff as well, or you theirs...
I organize meet-ups in my city and although some 'fresher' Steemians join I have not yet started to actively onboard people here. Would be curious to see what and how you're doing that though! :-)
Good luck with that!
Face to face support is the most important. I'm onboarding someone later today. I'll be sure to Resteem their intro post when it is done.
I attend regular steem meets here, and it's our best way of supporting and mentoring each other, and as much as we hate the word around here, centralizing our recruitment powers!

I haven't used steemit for anything except it's wallet since the first week I signed up...

Just curious, what apps did you use instead of Steemit? :-) And did you know about them before you signed up?
I knew nothing about blockchain, crypto, or what a dapp was etc. when I signed up.
I believe Sida offered partiko as an alternative on my introduction post and after about a week of suffering with steemit I gave it a try and never looked back.
I'm a mobile only user both iOS and droid and my UX especially using droid on steemit takes me back to dial up days of old. IPad isn't much better so out of necessity I had to find another front end.
It's amazing that steemians generally push back and tell me to do this or do that and that I should essentially show steemit more respect lol.
I'll then explain how the half dozen friends and family I tried to get onboard gave up after steemit wouldn't even load for them to start the waiting game.
Even when I'm forced to go to steemit to power up this often has glitches and takes multiple attempts..Everything else on my devices works famously it's just steemit.
I'm aware of all the other front ends but I'm cozy with @partiko and have no reason to venture out, though I did try steev but it was also a bit wonky and has a super stretched thin staff.
I heard about steem from word of mouth here in Malaysia and then discovered it was a mostly isolated and self contained universe of information and tech I was oblivious to before.
I appreciate and applaud your efforts to export to steem to the masses. I feel I pretty well represent a normal non tech 2019 target audience that came merely for the opportunity to post whatever and not feel restricted. Zero motivation to earn money.
My experience here has absolutely changed my perception to a long term big picture that will require us all to take baby steps together..
If anyone takes anything from my perspective I'd hope it's that most people want to use their mobile device most often. Sure, coders, devs, bloggers etc have computers and first world isp but the rest of us potential consumers or whatever we will be called do not.

That is how I use to think until @broncnutz made me more aware. I'm feeling myself become more committed as I participate and see the integrity of the site.
