Regarding the core 8.0 upgrade, I see bsip 40 is included with custom active permissions. Would this allow an app like BeetEOS to be expanded into someone similar to the Hive Keychain for easy login across platforms?

I would pay for a bounty if one of the more technical users/developers could draw a nice diagram/overview how all the apps currently fit and work together. I believe it is still hard for a business or user to see how the apps work together if they wanted to start a liquidity pool for example. Simple ELI5 for an api node, cli wallet needed anymore?, Beet, BeetEOS,BitShares-Gateway, etc...

This leads into your comment on price feed's and witnesses. Regarding price feed's is there a simple setup guide for users to contribute? A website showing price feed participation, similar to witnesses would promote authenticity. Witness node documentation also seems lacking when you think of PoW, simply running a mining app, and joining a pool.

BTS is a very deep and complicated blockchain, some simplicity for users/developers could go a long way to increase participation.
