I'm getting terribly frustrated recently with steemit, I know that everyone is saying the same things, and I'm likely very late to the party here, but I have a pretty high tolerance for annoyances and higher patience. It's likely from dealing with the kids all day or at worse all the whiny patients at the hospital.
My frustration hit a peak earlier when I had a post completed hit post, waited, waited some more, then it disappeared. I don't always make it a habit to start in a word processor for all posts, but that is definitely going to change now.
I'm not one to just be content with my frustration so I have started to look around for some other options and I'm far to addicted to steemit to throw in the towel.
This busy.org has now jammed up 3 times while trying to add a photo and that's why we finally have the one above. The one I wanted to use was a .png (maybe I can't use that here) but the good news is everything was saved in the "drafts" editor when I had to reload.
I also have no idea how to add a photo from a URL and not sure if this is going to be a link below or photo when I post this, since there is no preview option.
I am really liking this draft feature, but otherwise I'm getting a bit annoyed again, and really just want steemit to be fixed.
I have also read about chainbb, but it seems to have a very different layout when I have been looking around there and just seams far to confusing.
Lastly I found that there is an app called esteem. I've yet to use it but totally going to check it out.
I guess my question really is, does anyone have any experience with any of these other sites? Are they much more reliable? And when is good 'ol steemit.com going to get more reliable?
Why is steemit.com even broken? Is it some sort of residual effect from the recent attacks, but it's so buggy and laggy recently? It takes forever to cast a vote and don't get me started on trying to leave a comment.
Oh well, Christmas is coming, I know what I'll ask Santa for, another test with a .jpg link?
Cool post about the issue with steemit.
If it is so problematic esteem
Busy.org
Chainbb should help.
I used esteem a lot.
Not sure about the others.

Hey Phil, my coins just arrived here in Adelaide, safe and sound. Trying to work out if I should wait for the wife and kids to get home from the school run; shoot an unboxing video or just tear into the box like a rabid animal.
Its been an absolute pleasure doing business with you.

I've had that happen to two posts in the past week where you hit submit and they disappear. Luckily I copy/paste every post into evernote as an archive before i submit so it was a simple case of copy/pasting everything back in and only takes a second. I found esteem clunky and slower and its a bandwidth hog so beware not to use it to much on cellular data networks..

I use the esteem app for posting at least one po post a day (on one post a day you get some free upvote) . It also autosaves drafts which is nice.
I have had some issues with esteem not actually publishing to the blockchain, but that was only once or twice and the post was saved so I just had to copy and paste and just post from steemit. It can be a little slow, but tends to be up and available even when steemit.com is down. There is also supposed to be an update coming that will coincide withSteemfest

I use esteem to comment at night when I'm not sitting in front of my computer, but best of luck trying to create a post. It isn't bad if you have a bluetooth keyboard for likea tablet or something, but you're thumbs are going to cramp if you try and post from it.

Well, I post all of my posts using the busy platform and also earn a upvote from busy.org for inserting one tag as busy at the time of posting. You can do the same too. And btw, I use private beta version as it has pretty better features than the public beta one.

I have Steemit.com open in one tab and Busy.org open in the other. In fact the people working on busy.org are looking for Steemians to contribute to their project by sharing ideas or doing some testing so you can help shape how it will look like:

I have tried esteem on my mobile phone but since I like to post and comment frequently I prefer not to use a mobile app.
