Unpopular opinion. #Algokit will do more for #Algorand than any marketing. Better dev experience will lead to more devs, more devs will lead to more dapps, more #dapps increases the likelihood of a “killer dapp”. That’s exactly what $ALGO needs and I can’t wait.

This is not the only problem that exists, but I believe it's an important one to address. For example, I'm confident if the foundation were to offer some reward (10k to 50k USD) to certain 3rd party services, they'd probably be more than happy to support Algorand too.

If dev tools increase, that's certainly good for the community as it makes it easier for devs to build on Algorand. However, that alone won't fix the issue. There is another big issue for folks who want to build on Algorand, which is the lack of access to 3rd party services.

So, most companies end up using 3rd party services that already exist. You pay them some money and boom, it's integrated and you don't have to worry too much. The problem is in our experience, almost NONE of these reputable 3rd party services support #Algorand out of the box.
