Update 1 - ''All Tags'' Search
GitHub Issue 115 & Issue 116

Update 2 - Related Posts
GitHub Issue 66
A feature which will recommend other Posts based on personal interests. Steemit will ty to show Content based on Posts that you may find interesting

Update 3 - Contributor Biography or Formally known as User Profiles
GitHub Issue 118
Allow Steemians to customize their profile by adding a Dislplay Picture, a Biography Line, Custom URL and perhaps more personalized options
This would give Users a place to share information about themselves with the community. Notice how ''introduceyourself'' posts get little attention after the first few weeks and is usually forgotten at beginning of your Blog. Soon we will be to include more personal information to be showcase on our Steemit Blog

To add a verification page, so that User can prove their identity through several Methods of Authentication

Update 9 - Block Unwanted Accounts
GitHub Issue 239
Implementing a Block Button on Steemit to prevent abusive users from flagging the content of users they don't like. It wouldn't remove already obtained flags as people would abuse that as well, but it would prevent someone that is deliberately flagging all content a user writes.
Something that many Steemit Users will make use of in order to reduce the abuse of flagging. At this moment many user engage in some sort of ''flagging war''(Individuals flagging each other), this means that when you create Enemies on Steemit it will end up costing you money. There has been so much frustration regarding this Issue and many user feel as if they have a victim of unfair flagging, this will hopefully reduce this problem by offering more privacy and protection.
