You know when I first joined Hive, one of the very first frontends that I got introduced to was Ecency , like it was Ecency that I understood well, I can still remember how it felt when I started using it ,like it was just so simple to understand so much, you know how some platforms can be very complicated at first, especially when you are new to Web3 and to blockchain, Well, Ecency was not like that for me, from the very beginning, I loved how easy it was to navigate the site, I mean to post, and interact to with others.
At that time, I did mostly used the web version of Ecency, and it now became like my little Hive home because all my activities were happening there, so I will log in, write and post my post, will check out communities, reply to comments, and even explore trending posts, the whole interface was very okay for me, and it did not feel like I had to be a big tech-savvy to use it, honestly, that is one of the things that made me stick with Ecency till date, it is friendly to use.
And then, see one of the sweetest things I noticed was the Ecency points, I mean, who doesn’t like rewards, The fact that I could earn points just by posting, commenting, and engaging with others on the platform made me love it even more, and the cool part is that these points aren’t just sitting there doing nothing, you can actually use them to boost your posts or you gift them to others, and it adds this extra layer of fun and motivation because every single interaction really counts.
Now, when it comes to the mobile app, I have to say that it is a lifesaver, Sometimes, I am not with my laptop, and I want to quickly check something or write a post on the go, the Ecency mobile app just makes it easier, I can be anywhere, and with just my phone, I am on Hive through Ecency, Personally, I still lean more toward the web app when I want to do serious writing because typing long posts is easier on a laptop, but for convenience, the mobile app wins.

If there is one thing I think the mobile app could borrow from the web app, it is the overall display of content, on the web, you can see things a bit more spread out and organized ,communities, trending topics, and notifications all look clearer , on mobile, it is still good, but sometimes it feels a little squeezed, If they could make the interface just as broad and smooth as the web, it would be perfect.
Another thing I love is the Ecency community itself, It is not just about the frontend, it is about the people who make it what it is, the dev team is always working on updates, fixing bugs, and making sure the experience gets better with time, that shows real dedication, and I have seen members of the team interact with users directly, listening to feedback and actually making changes from it, not every project does that, so it really stands out to me.
So, if I am to give a shout out, it is definitely to the Ecency development team and everyone who has been keeping the frontend alive and also thriving, i mean this guys are the reason people like me enjoy Hive the way we do today, the balance of simplicity, rewards, and accessibility makes Ecency one of the best DAPP out there for Hive users.
In short, Ecency has been my go to frontend from the start, and I do not see myself changing that anytime soon, see whether it is the web version for my full writing experience or the mobile app for convenience, Ecency gives me everything I need, add the points reward system on top of that, and honestly, it feels like Ecency is not just a frontend , it is a whole kinda vibe.
