Some great projects came out of the first build challenge - and I think & hope that they will make using and developing on the Stellar platform much more approachable. While Horizon and the 'laboratory' are great, the new wallets, network explorers, ledger explorers, etc, should help immensely.
We need some live anchors, or even some fake tokens to generate some trade interest (if for nothing else but to demonstrate how trade works and hopefully inspire exciting use cases), and I agree that daily tx/trade volume stats would help as well.
