From the very beginning of my journey on Steemit network, I used Steemit for posting, commenting and reading other's content and during this time, I also used busy.org couple of times to post my content. I think I feel better while posting via the busy platform due to the appealing user interface.
@busy.org is an open source social network, which is alternate to Steemit. It provides a great user interface and an amazing WYSIWYG editor. It is a quite useful platform because lots of new functionality/features were added in the 2.4 version of the busy network.
So here in this post, I will share some of the reasons why you should use the busy social network and I hope after knowing all these new features you will fall in love with busy.org like me. So here we go.
6 Reasons: You should use busy.org
1) Notifications and activity tab with filters
@busy.org will let you to receive notifications like Facebook about every activity that is happening on your account. You can simply access it by clicking on the notification bell. I use @ginabot for this purpose and some of the Steemians uses steemify app to get notifications. Why I think busy notification is perfect for me because I don't have to visit any mention tool to check who mentions my article or account name on their comment or post because busy basically provides all the features that a steemian need in a form of notifications.
Aside from this, There is an Activity tab which is almost same like the notifications, but it gives you some more information like author rewards, curation rewards, the posts that are upvoted by you and downvote etc. Basically, you can also filter all those activities by types in the activity tab.
2) Multiple Drafts & Bookmarks
You can use the magic of the draft because busy will let you write articles and save it for later, You can access, delete and publish your saved article anytime.
On the other hand, @busy.org also provides a feature of bookmarking, which is very useful in terms of keeping some articles as a reference and can read it whenever you want.
3) DTube player
On Steemit, the DTube videos look weird to me because I don't think that It provides great User experience. It just shows picture & link to navigate to the actual DTube video and It takes slightly more time before playing the video, but we must appreciate the co-founders of busy ( @fabien & @ekitcho ) and the founder of DTube ( @heimindanger ) for providing us such an amazing DTube player within busy. Now with the help of the DTube player, I can easily watch any videos of @exyle and @louisthomas on the busy interface without navigating to other pages.
4) Voting Slider
With the help of the voting slider, a user can manage their voting power. It is helpful for those Steemians who have Steem power > 500 because They don't need to visit any third party website like steemworld.org or steemnow.com to check their voting power on a certain percentage because busy will allow you to perform the same task and also select a specific percentage on the voting slider. So that you can fully focus on just Upvoting quality contents rather than thinking about vote percentage.
5) Getting Busy upvote
Busy gives you an upvote If you post via busy and use the busy tag. As I mentioned that I already posted my articles a couple of times via the busy platform and I got around 0.300 upvote during my first month. Even at that time, I haven't had enough followers, but one thing I noticed that the busy voting strength depends on your follower's total amount of SP.
6) General Features
Invite link - Busy provides a unique link to every Steemian to invite new users to the busy network. If you invite new users on the busy.org with your own link, then you will receive 10% of their rewards for 30 days. Everything is not a reward, but I like this feature because It gradually increases the Steem blockchain traffic and users.
IPFS Image-hosting - From now, all the images on busy.org are stored on IPFS which is decentralized, reliable, faster and It runs on the concept of p2p network.
Busy don't have this feature
When we share busy post links in the discord communities, The post only shows the title and some excerpt, but It doesn't actually show the image itself and I think the post doesn't look appealing to the users to click and I hope that in the future updates of busy, @fabien will incorporate this new feature because by showing title, image, and excerpt. It will become more appealing.
Now I'd like to hear from you about other reasons of using the Busy.org social network by sharing your useful thoughts in the comment below. Maybe I missed some features of busy.
