Yes you are right, peakd looks very interesting and very easy to use for android users. I've tried to enter hive with Android, but the image display is gone.

lol, this is gonna be difficult to understand without seeing the screenshots... xD

I foUnd PEAKD to be the best for creating posts and it really seems to put content creators and consumers front and center. But I still can't work out how to search by tags. 

I prety much only use peakd.  Unfortunately that means i can’t search for anything ever for some reason, but it’s still worth it.

Did you say tax curve?  Whats that about...

One of the possible over looked tools is the ability to create list. I have a few different ones, and I add people every now and then, I am still building my list out. One of the list items I have is witness type, I add the witnesses that I run across from my feed and resteems, and community views. 
1. Now what is the purpose of a list?
2. What good does it do me?
3. It seems complicated.

For a curator the use of list and favorite authors could be a boon to them. You do not need to be following someone to add them to your list. If you are cruising the Hiveways of the all accounts and run into an account you want to check out in more detail before following just add them to a list. You can then surf the list you created just like the Following Feed, Community Feed, Favorite Feed, choices. Complicated it is not, just click the three dots after the re-blog symbol and choose add to list. A very handy tool, and you are the only one that can see your List, or you Favorite Authors, and you do not need to be officially following them, simply shadow follow them. 

I am a real fan of the peakd interface.

Peakd is my favourite front end. There's also the fact that if you add some html codes to hive.blog, it'll give one annoying message about images being incomplete or some shit. 

I use hive.blog or esteem because of their simplicity, plus esteem also gives esteem points that can be used for promotion or upvotes.

Yeah, the hive.blog interface is A-OK, in my opinion. And PeakD is the bomb! I'm pretty new to both platforms, and I wasn't even aware of these positive features you've listed here. To me, PeakD is making major improvements from where Hive and Steemit currently stand. 

Personally, the main benefits I see are in the abilities to create templates and schedule posts—streamlining, woohoo! And it feels illuminating to see who is upvoting, and the amount they're giving. Finally, a chance to really appreciate those who are appreciating us.

I recently found out about the views!

After looking at it (yikes) it made me consider whether or not I am creating content to be consumed, or upvoted? It makes me want to consider ways we can bring in eyeballs.

I hope we get the imaging thing figured out... I know they were working hard on it.

I am using PeakD more and more. I don't use all the features (yet),butnthe interface is great. 

>  often find myself going back to it for the simplicity or maybe it's just old habits

Same here somehow I find myself typing in hive.blog faster than peakd. Though I'm making it an objective to correct myself every time, which seems to work

Lol, I got 1 real view on my ~1800 word Final Fantasy 7 Remake review according to the Peakd analytics. :D 

I like peakd though I find myself only using it once in a while, but the wallet features are really cool, they come in handy. 

Images aren't displaying on all ends. Ive been trying to make a post since last night, scared to do without images.

Feel free to post these sorts of posts in our PeakD community if you desire. This is awesome.

Do you know how to read encrypted memos on Hive? 

Here’s an oddity: when I get @ocdb delegation payments, when viewed from wallet.hive.blog there’s no memo at all but when viewed from the peakd.com wallet there’s an encrypted memo.

Years ago, for wallets viewed on Steemit you’d see *your* encrypted memos as clear text but those in other wallets as garbled/encrypted. That function seems to have gone away.

I know how to encrypt a message with a hashtag, but how to decrypt?

Oh my god! I didn't know that we have the VIEW counter! 
I am addicted to the twitter analytics and this is something I love to track. 

Thanks for the info! 😊

peakd have always been my favourite frontend for a while now. it just makes everything look appering
