Few Features that could make Utopian & Steemit even greater.

I made my first post on Utopian a few days ago, and since then I started loving this platform, I'd love to see the community grow bigger. I have some ideas for some features that could create a greater experience on the site and attract even more people here.

A nice feature that both utopian and steemit could use it is a Live Counter on the web. I'll add a picture below and explain everything as I see below it.

A small box on 1 of the site's corners (bottom left in my example I think it fits best) that could show some website stats live, with a datas being refreshed every 5 minutes or so (every second could eat pretty many resources).
The box could have the number of online users right now on the site, how many Contributions are being written now, what was the highest amount of people online on the site ever and the total number of contributions ever created and accepted on the site, all those stats would encourage more people to join, if you see that the platform is being used by a big number of people it shows that it is top-quality, and makes people interested in it. I would even add number of Moderators online (this could be done using a Discord plugin probably not 100% sure).

This kind of live stats was used long time ago by mmorpg private servers to attract more people, if the server was populated people used to join them because it was clear a populated server is populated because it has quality features, it's stable and always up and online.

Another feature that could work and help users is a notification feed, again I'll attach a picture and explain how I see it below the picture.

As you can see in the top right corner there are 3 notifications (The system could show only the last newest 3 notifications), they have differend opacity so you can see which one is the newest and which is the oldest, it should appear when the user is surfing the website and they could dissapear after a set time, 30seconds-1min or so, and if you click the notification box it could take you to the post so you can see the upvote or respond to a comment made on your post. Maybe even add a small simple sound so you can hear the notification if you have utopian opened but you are in a different tab of the browser.

Those are a 2 of my Features, hopefully there are more people that want these, thank you for reading my post have a nice day.
