The Good And Bad Of Hiver: My Top Three Hive Frontend
Probably, hive may be bad to some people; but for me, hive is one of the good things that happened to me. When I started, it seemed impossible to me due to some challenges I had when I started blogging.
Blogging was the only thing I knew when I started; and the challenge I had was that I couldn't write well. I wasn't a good writer but my passion got me to where I'm today.
I didn't know exactly the community to post, what to post, the kind of articles they wanted, and the tags to use.
my passion drove
My passion didn't make me see the bad side of hive; all that I was seeing was the good side. My posts were not voted and I didn't get a dime from my articles for some time.
It got to the stage when my friend checked my article, “Chris you need to improve your work, and use appropriate tags for my articles to be voted on.”
After months, I learned to write good articles and used correct tags; that was my turning point.
I was playing splinterlands those periods but never knew there was splinterlands social media challenge and Battle Mage secrets Challenge. Though, it wasn't called battle mage secrets challenge.
It was the same friend that told me to participate in those contests by Steemonster, which is now splinterlands.
He explained everything to me, and said, “read my post."
After I read his post, I understood that they asked us to use creepy ooze in battle and share our experience.
After I posted the battle challenge, after the next day I checked the post, steemmonster voted my post with #5. It was a happy moment of my life because it was my first time I was voted with such a big amount. In the same week, I made two splinterlands posts- battle and social media challenge.
My Top Three Hive Frontend
There are many frontend in hive but I prefer the following:
#inleo Frontend
If there is a top frontend right now in hive ecosystem, it is #inleo frontend.
One of the beautiful features I discovered recently was the ‘Draft’. Though, there was a draft from the beginning but one cannot view his/her previous posts; If I draft more than 2 articles before, the last article would only be reviewed. But, in the present development, One can draft more than 2 articles, and publish them anytime.
There was a time, I couldn't upload images through #inleo frontend; I used other frontend to upload the images, then copy the link of the images to #inleo frontend. Right now, I can upload images without stress. it very easy for me to upload images through #inleo frontend than any other frontend.
It is advantageous to use Inleo frontend due to the rewards system; such a user maybe voted by #leo.voter. Though, the vote by @leo.voter is not guaranteed, but if the author meets their standards, such an author will be voted.
A user of Leo frontend is not only getting hive coins, he/she also gets Leo.
What is Leo?
According to my knowledge, Leo is one of the native coins in hive ecosystem. Leo is one of the most valuable coins in hive ecosystem, and it is used for various things. until you get in, that is when you will know how useful Leo is. Leo gives you Power to vote, and many more uses.
Advice
It will be a good idea if the users of Inleo frontend can upload videos through it. Ecency have successfully done it, and many people are posting videos through #Ecency. This idea will bring more users to Inleo frontend and we the users we permanently use it. There are many user that love to upload their original videos to hive through Inleo frontend. With this idea, many users will prefer to use Inleo frontend to upload videos like 3speak.
One of the challenges I have with Leo is error to post or threads. 4 days ago, there was a time I find it difficult to post; after few hours, I was able to post. I encountered such challenges several times. there were times I couldn't access the Inleo prompt due to the challenges.
I hope it will be resolved very soon!
Ecency Frontend
I hardly come across server error in Ecency; it is once in a blue moon. I haven't come across it this year, and I don't know maybe I saw something like that last year.
I received Ecency points every very time I posted, through the frontend of Ecency. Ecency Frontend do not only rewards the article posts through the frontend, it also reward comments, reblog, follow and each time a user log in. Quality articles are also voted by ecency.
Point can be used to promote your articles which I have done several times.
#3speak frontend
One of the best frontend to post quality videos. There was a video I watched, it was like HD video. The video was so clean!
I used 3speak to upload my #splinterlands battles. Those were times I uploaded my #splinterlands videos. The quality of the videos made me to prefer @3speak.
