I am not able to set an avatar or cover image in the blurt.blog UI - I have visited the Settings page and clicked around but there's no visible way to do it - is that a temporary bug or did I look in the wrong place?

It's on the settings page on https://blurtwallet.com

Is there a way to get Blurt notifications coming into Discord, as with Ginabot on Hive?

I have a bot that I have written for myself that is very similar to GINA. I plan to make it available to the public once I get a chance to develop it more. I don't currently have a time frame for that.

Are there any plans for Layer 2 tokens on Blurt or are they not seen as useful here (yet)?

It might be more useful once there are more users. The engine team want a sizeable amount to build a Blurt-Engine. It's too expensive for the number of users we have at the moment, but it could be something that comes in the future.

Is there a directory of Blurt powered sites beyond blurt.blog? (If there are any such sites yet).

There isn't one yet. We've been talking about creating one, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I think it's one of the items on @tekraze's plate that he will get going soon.

We also need to have a developer portal with documentation for people who want to build things for Blurt.

Right now there are three of us doing dev work on the UI and supporting infrastructure and one doing dev work on the blockchain itself. All of us have full-time jobs and do dev work for Blurt in our spare time, so things don't move as fast as it would if we had dedicated devs.
