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.
Off topic, but welcome to Hive. The fact that you even know about RCs after only 8 days is impressive to me. I think it took me two years, I mean, more than eight days. And agreed, one of the biggest frustration points with someone trying to get started is that after only a few actions, they are locked out due to low RCs, they get confused, they get frustrated, they walk away, and that's it.
I found a really good guide yesterday that explains things in detail and in a fairly easy to understand way. I've reblogged if you are interested.
One of the things he mentions is a website called gift giver.site where you can get some free RC to get you started. I had a few people help me out with RC in the beginning, had I not had their help I probably wouldn't have stuck about.

Thanks a lot for stopping by and for sharing your experience with ecency. I could suggest you to sign up to the hiveguide. It's a free online course that has been built by @jongolson and explains a lot of things about hive.
Thank you for the tip. There is so much to learn about on here. An online course will be a great help.
I publish everything using the Ecency app. To see a post preview while you are in the post editor, just click here....
