Welcome to Hive! The reason I advocate Ecency is that it gets people started in a manner that appears to be more similar to regular blogging and social media than the other front ends we have. Its a steep learning curve getting your head around crypto blogging and all these strange terms and technologies and they've worked so hard to get it right! 
The devs who created it are also genuinely nice people. One of the things you'll find here is that devs, huge stakeholders and anyone involved in any aspect of running the chain is accessible and will chat happily wither here or on discord.

Anyway, welcome and if you need any help or advice, drop a comment on a post.

First thing, an introduce yourself post! Use the first tag as #introduceyourself and engage with people is the only way.....
Hmmmmm.....
Welcome or welcome back, I'm loving the bowie Gif!!

It is mate! Whole new experience on Hive for me, but its that integration and flow from desktop to app that's impressing me most as I am constantly switching between the two all day, and it's an uninterruptable experience!
Have a great weekend my friend and thanks for dropping by!

Well let's just hope some of your talent can rub off through the app onto me!
Hope you both have an amazing weekend.

I agree about the difficulty using mobile Apps to write posts but for people like me who are mainly here to read, comment and and use Hive more like social media, the App has driven me to the desktop version, I love the flow between desktop and app! 
If I was a major content provider, then I think I'd still be using hive.blog as it does what it does very well and has a huge space to work in. The world is mobile crazy these days and Hive needs to be as mobile friendly as possible to get more users onboard!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Thank you, could you specify/help us which pages write post button doesn't show, we should fix that asap. Also dark theme switching bug looks like bug unless your Operating system doing it.

Hi and thanks for replying.
The issue of design is one that I have been banging on about ever since I joined. My usual observation on MANY posts and comments was that devs spent all their time 'devving' because that's what they do, and what our devs here do very well, but left design as a footnote. Techies just care about things working and forget that poor, elderly, non-geeks have to use their toys too if we want to achieve the fabled mass adoption.
To general users, it's the usability and overall look, feel and experience of using something that matters the most. When the product is feature-rich and adds value to its core function, you're on a winner and that's what Ecency gives us.

If you have any suggestions for improvement, talk to @good-karma, I've always found him very approachable and genuinely nice, even in the early days when I might have been my normally slightly brusque self in my criticism.

I have also noticed some great posts and involvement from yourself recently so thank you and best wishes for your success on Hive. The status-quo here needs shaking up from time to time ;-)

Have a great weekend :-)

And have an HBI share as thanks as my vote is worthless!

Yes, I'd forgotten that. I could have written all night about it. I just wish them every success as they have kept on going and going to turn it into the product it is today and I'm really happy to see so many people giving them some love.
Have a great weekend mate and thanks for dropping by.

Thank you for dropping by with a lovely comment. People matter and that, in my opinion, rightly influence the product we use. That 'niceness' seems to become an intrinsic part of the product.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again :-)

I always thought it flew under the radar a little on Hive, especially with all the PeakD mentions but I'm really happy to see all the love it's getting! 
Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend :-)

ecency.com is the App but like people, businesses and entities can have user-names too, so the official channel for the app is @ecency or if you wish to use tags in your post to highlight subject matter, you can also use #ecency to direct your post into a community or interest group.
Hope this helps. Keep asking questions here, that's the only way to get on and grow. Best wishes :-)

You can go to your wallet and delegate some Hive Power to `@ecency` account.

Hi mate, thanks for dropping by. I think if we simply tag @good-karma he will pop-in and answer your question! I would also be interested to find out. Thanks :-)

And thats the point mate, its that flow from using it on desktop to mobile that makes it so useable as well as easy and pretty to use. I wasn't a fan early doors as  I thought it had potential but it was a bit buggy and just not quite right but the devs have worked endlessly to create a fabulous product!
