Gratefulvibes - Busy
I am so grateful over the past few weeks to have been able to Beta test for Busy v2 , as it enabled me to post and comment on Steemit on days when Steemit was acting up!

Some of you noticed that I was using the tag #busy in my posts lately, and wanted to know what that tag is all about. Busy is an alternative way of accessing Steemit, and today the newest release Busy v2 is available for public release at https://busy.org/.
If you have been using Busy v1, then you will notice a great improvement on the page layout etc. If you have not tried Busy, I suggest you log in and try it!

STOPGratefulness and good info!! Nice post my friend!!
I have so much to be grateful and thankful for, and all glory goes to God as"every good and perfect gift" comes from Him. So even finding a way to post on Steemit was something to be grateful for, as it relieved my frustrations over Steemit! LOL!
It seems more and more people are using busy for steemit now days. Is there an advantage to using it when the site isn't acting up?
Perhaps the fact that you can get an Upvote from Busy when you use it for the first time in the day! LOL! I'm not sure that that will be so automatic now though. I keep both the tab for Steemit and the tab for Busy Open, and I post via Busy. when I need to drop a link though, I need to have Steemit open!
I'm using it! But I liked Busy1 best. It was easier to visit my friend's blogs... And they asked for my active key instead of posting key, and I got suspicious... but ended up submitting it... so far no problems!
I had a problem using Busy V1. For me Busy V2 is a huge improvement!
Wonderful for you then, Diane!
Busy is a great alternative I have also been using it for quite a while now
You were the one who told me about Beta testing.Thanks for that!
Yes I did remember that 👍😎👍
I will have to try it out. It was a task to flip back and forth, but really happy that you got great use out of them!
what key do they ask for in v2?
You use the active key only the first time, then you can use your posting key. The active key is used only in your browser and does not go to their server.
I really like busy.org and now much more since the retro design hit steemit.com. Great testing @dmcamera. I know that can be interesting and fun.
I like that you can Bookmark pages!!
Yes, <3 is really a nice feature. This has a way better look and feel. The UX is very friendly.
And Busy is not so minty with the terrible retro style buttons. Yuck! It feels like they went back 20 years in design. The mint coloured links are very hard to read in text body etc. Not enough contrast for assessability.
