I can totally relate to feeling disconnected! It seems my work-life and home-life both ramped up at about the same time so I find myself with little time to read and respond to posts like I once was able to do. Sigh.
As to UI, I have been using SteemPeak on Brave on all of my platforms. Works well for me :)
Yea life is super busy and there are Bill's to pay. At least I can say they are getting paid.
Happy christmas
