Leo is going to use comments as opposed to blog posts on Hive
You mean the Leo microblog will use the comment section only? I always thought Post and Comment at the HIVE chain are the same. But maybe I'm not 100% understanding what you meant with this 🙃
The other benefits are clear indeed. Regarding multiple projects creating very similar apps. I agree this all is possible and may not be that bad. That said, after a ling time our active user base is still so small. I rather like to see more not too many more or less same services, but more resources for a 'single' project to maximise the outcome (not only technically, but also the onboarding of users, individuals, communities, companies etc).
