My Experience with eSteem: Easy Writing at Steemit

I don't remember when I first used the eSteem application. What is clear, not when my steemit account is approved and sent a password from the steemit. As I recall, once my account was approved, I started posting direct posts via 'submit story' on the steemit.com site. Later, because I wanted to be easy when I posted a post, I started downloading the new eSteem app available on Google Play. According to friends, post writing via eSteem application has the possibility of getting upvote directly from @good-karma and @esteemapp as the application maker.

Is that true? Based on my own experience, posts that I post via eSteem application, do get an automatic upvote. The upvote value varies between $ 0.40 and $ 0.90, even after the upvote of the bot. Lastly, I monitor, not all posts get an automatic upvote from @good-karma, @esteemapp and their bots. I usually include #esteem tags as third tags to get upvote, and this way works pretty well.

Later, upvote values ​​of @good-karma and @esteemapp are slightly increased, between $ 0.90 to $ 1.17, and this value also depends on the percentage of voting power they have. Even so, many of my writing does not get upvote even though it has put tags #esteem. "Maybe @good-karma is a sleep," friends said, entertaining.

For newly joined steemit, posting via eSteem is strongly recommended. In addition to get automatic upvote, posting via the application speed up the rise of reputation or level. The novice Steemian is of course happy to see his writings have an upvote and a reputation that is crawling up. That way, they are increasingly eager to write and produce positive content. At least, that's how I practice and feel when I'm active in steemit first.

Then, what is the advantage of using eSteem application? This is what I will discuss through this paper. I believe that what I have written may have been extensively reviewed by other steemians, more so for the senior steemian. However, because what I write is based on my own experience, of course the touch becomes different. Who knows (yes, who knows), some have not tried some of the features in eSteem, and I hope that through this article they start to use it.

Manage multiple accounts
In steemit, we can own and create multiple accounts, and this is not prohibited. If we have a different mobile phone number and email, then we can register a new steemit account. The registration process is easy, but it is not easy to wait for approval or password delivery as proof that our steemit account creation request has been approved. Some are waiting a day, two days, and some are waiting for days, but steemit passwords are not sent.

Through the eSteem application, we can manage steemit accounts at once, without signing in and signing out, from one account to another. In steemit there is no prohibition to post writing in a row, every five minutes, but if we do very unethical. Therefore, the reward system in steemit is upvote, and other users may not spend their voting power to upvote writing from one author only. Hence, some senior steemian post his writings with duration between 5-6 hours for one post.

Therefore, if we have multiple steemit accounts, we can solve them by posting via another account. The process is easy when using the eSteem application, which gives us the freedom to manage multiple accounts.

Saving drafts
One of the advantages of steemit is that the posts we type on the post page will not disappear before we publish them. For example, we write something in the submit story form, and for some reason, we do not publish it. The next day, when we open the submit story again, the posts that we have not posted are still on the page.

Even so, that does not mean the chance that the writing is missing is not there at all. Our name we deal with the internet and using the browser, for one reason or another, it could be missing the text. Or another possibility, before a thorough writing we write, because it requires some other reference for writing to be weighted, we are forced to not finish the first article. Not to mention if we want to write another article, automatically writing should we post first, so we can type other posts.

While through the eSteem application, we have a fitus draft storage. With this feature, we can save the unfinished or unfinished writing we write in draft form. This feature I think is very good for us who can write directly through the application, and accustomed to note the idea we get in draft form. When there is a chance, we can complete and process the idea into a whole piece.

At least that's what I usually do. I am used to writing directly on the submit page or on the post page. Perhaps other steemit users write first in word processing applications like microsoft word, notes or memos.

Bookmarks
For me, this bookmarks feature is very important. Lots of good writing in steemit that we can not read at once, and those writings continue to be present on our porches. If we do not save it, we will have difficulty when we want to search again, especially if we forget the author's account. Indeed, there is a search menu in steemit, but looking for writing that we are interested in is difficult to ask forgiveness, not to mention if we do not remember the title or the author. Well, by using eSteem application, we can mark the writing that we will read later by doing bookmarks.

Is not the laptop browser also features bookmarks? Yes, there are features bookmarks, but we do not always have a chance to open a laptop/pc anywhere when want to read posts that interest us. While through the eSteem application, we can read the text that we bookmarks it anywhere using a smartphone. I think this is the reason why bookmarks feature in eSteem application is very important.

An input
In addition to many advantages with the presence of eSteem applications, does not mean this application has no shortcomings. For myself the look of the eSteem home page is a bit confusing. For novice users, they will definitely have trouble when first using this app. The view is not very user-friendly (user-friendly). In its entirety, a menu such as home (home), blog or user account is directly displayed in the front page, at least in the application footer section, making it easy to view.

During this time, to log into the account, the user must open it through the drop-down menu feature located at the top left. Indeed, the presence of fitus submit posts placed at the top right on the home page, making it easier for users to upload posts. However, for users with multiple steemit accounts, this is a bit confusing, especially when they want to post via different accounts.

While if the account features are placed in the home section and easily visible, users can easily change or log in to an account, choosing through the account to which they post the post. In general, this weakness is not a problem, just related to the ease of managing the account. That is all.
