@ecency literally became the only front end I use. It has a few issues, like for example, the button to write a post does not appear on every single page, I need to head back to the home page to write a post, or the dark theme that eventually switches back to clear mode and it hurts my eyes. But overall it has good features, like "read next", and a very beautiful and modern interface.
Hive need more and better designers, Ecency and 3speak have been doing a great job on the design department, their interfaces look both sleek and modern and I love them!
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!
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.
I don't know if it is intentional, but when I go to
https://ecency.com
The first time I open the page the write button, search bar and even the theme button do not show up, to fix it I click anywhere and then on the Ecency logo (top left) which leads me to
https://ecency.com/@igormuba/feed
And then it shows the buttons and search bar normally
However, if I refresh the page it disappears again
That's a bug. We will check, our landing page suppose to not show those but feed and logged in people should be able to see those, we will check.
