I have only been on Hive for 8 days and found it via Ecency. At the time I had no idea there were other frontends to Hive. I mainly use the Ecency mobile app for commenting and voting. But I find the desktop version better for writing posts as I can see a preview of how the post will look once I publish it. I like the fact that Ecency lets me earn points which I can use in various ways such as boosting or promoting posts, although I am still trying to get my head around how this works. So, although I'm not familiar with other frontends,

I have found ecency quite straight forward to use. The problem is understanding how Hive works. It would be great if there was a way of giving new users information on how it works, especially Resource Credits, when they first sign up. I think a lot of people don't stick around simply because they run out of RC and suddenly find there is little they can do. But knowing nothing about technology or how Hive frontends work, I don't know if there is anything that can be done about this.
