Hi...thanks for sharing your thoughts on Partiko/Esteem! Busy was another one that I could not remember. Don't hear about it anymore or even know anyone that uses Busy...so it must be gone or not supported anymore too? That's kinda crazy. We don't really have the best track record with mobile front ends or mobile related applications here in Steem Land do we? I was all set to use Share2Steem a few months ago...which is different but it would have made posting the short and sweet stuff easier and that vanished. And don't even get me started with Appics! Lol...

I used to only comment and upvote with Partiko too...and never expected to run into issues with posting content and now with notifications. I also cannot click a profile link from outside of Partiko and expect it to load. And have been more frequently getting the red loading line and blank page while trying to open articles. After posting nearly or at least three times a day for over week...I have noticed other weird glitches and random broken things too. It has been enough to make me too nervous to continue using it...until something else breaks. I do not know the full story...but still do not want to continue supporting them through using their program when they seem to have left everyone high and dry! I am glad that I didn't get too far into using it this time.

As for esteem...still certain the problem is with the program and not with my phone which is only a few months old and has no issues once esteem is removed. The notification bar works exactly as it should with everything else on my phone but as soon as esteem is launched it goes completely crazy and flickers and goes unresponsive. The application itself sits there frozen and then crashes. I could be contacting esteem to troubleshoot this...but to be honest just got really tired of the fuss by this point in trying to get things to work on my phone. The very first thing that I did was check off cookies and local data which baffles me because the constant logouts they still keep on happening!

Chances are...there will eventually be some easy fix or awesome solution or workaround to continue using my phone...but at this moment I am no longer interested in seeking one out. Looking forward to boosting productivity via solely desktop and revisiting mobile later. I get very cranky when time that could be better spent on arts and crafts is taken away...lol. I don't like to fight with technology...just use it to make pretty things. At least on my desktop...I have some semblance of control and anticipate none of the same issues. In a roundabout way...I was probably heading for this outcome anyway. Scheduling things to actually go out on time around an already odd schedule will become that much much easier!

As for the quote....what I love about them is they never really mean just one thing. I could probably write five paragraphs on some quotes because they have so many layers and hidden meanings that can apply to all kinds of situations. Although working constantly in exactly the same direction will often times pay off...other times you may need to change the direction of your path even just slightly in order to reach the same goal. It sounds like your pet project could use something similar...the end result would be the same you would just be rethinking the means to get there. Worth considering at least? You may find your progress adding up faster.

Okay...ooops. This comment is longer than some posts. Lol... :D
