I think different front ends each do some things well. Ecency really works for me for engagement, I can go down the list of alerts and see new posts, votes, everything all in one place in a format I just find easier to digest than other front ends. But PeakD really knocks it out of the park with their template functionality, so I tend to post from there.

Yeah, the templates of PeakD is great, and it has so many cool things it does. But, you're right, each one has its own pros and cons.
I like Ecency for the app, and being able to keep updated on what's going on, on the fly. However, I only like to comment on the PC or Laptop, because sometimes it's hard to type on my phone, especially for longer messages.
If I want to write longer comments from my phone I often use voice to text.
That's a brilliant idea, I think I'll start doing that!
Thanks for the tip.
Well mostly it's just that I seem to get on better with it 😁
But setting up a template means I can pick the tags and set up a framework for a "standardised" post layout. Then clicking the "create a post" button enables me to put together a post based on the template while the template stays unchanged and available for the next post in the series. Having a bunch of named templates just seems much more organised than hunting through a bunch of drafts in chronological order which includes not just templates but things I started but abandoned.
Thanks for the explanation. I have never used it so it was a mystery to me!
Ecency and PeakD are both great front ends, I must admit I use both of them equally but for slightly different tasks 😀
That makes sense! It also explains why I never see your posts in the Ecency feed when I am curating!
