5 Things I 💖 About Busy.org - Steem App Review
Introduction
Now that SteemProjects.com is out and live, I figured that it would be great to have a tour of the coolest projects on the Steem blockchain.
Today, I'm going to give you the 5 things that I love the most about busy.org and why I'm moving all my Steem browsing activities there for now.
1 - Seamless Integration with D.Tube
Now that is really cool. D.Tube videos look pitiful on steemit.com and I would feel ashamed to share D.Tube videos from steemit.com to Facebook or Twitter...but now, you can watch D.Tube video directly from your busy.org newsfeed!
When it comes to videos, Busy.org is the most user friendly. The only thing missing I find is a "share to Facebook or Twitter" directly from the newsfeed. But hey, I won't complain...because it's already 200% better than what we get on steemit.com
2- Activity Feed with Filters
You want to see what's going on and all your notifications? There is a tab for that! Just browse to "Activity" and you will see everything that is going on. Too much? Well, Busy.org allows you to filter all those activities by types.
3- Draft Mode & Bookmarks
You started an article and you closed the browser by mistake? Don't worry, there is a tab for that! Some people complained that they lost their "article" on busy because of closing their browser by mistake. Which is not the case! It's just that Busy.org deals with it better than steemit.com does. Just go to "Draft" and you will see your article saved.
Secondly, bookmarks have been a request from the community right from the beginning of the creation of steemit.com yet never implemented. You found an article that you want to show people in the future or just want to keep as a reference? Bookmarks are there for that!
4- Voting Sliders For Everyone!
The voting slider on steemit.com is way to small and with my account, 1% can make a big difference. With Busy.org it's very easy to choose between different percentage and I don't need to go on a 3rd party website to know what my upvote is worth at different percentage.
5 - Invite Links
As you will see at the bottom of this article, I created a banner that I'm going to be put at the bottom of every single one of my posts in the future.
Why? Because, this article will live on forever and will be working day and night, inviting new people to sign up through my invite link. The invite link allow to onboard new users on Busy.org and get 10% of their rewards for 30 days!!!.
I would be crazy to not jump on that opportunity.
Conclusion
I'm completely sold to the idea of using busy.org rather than steemit. They have worked hard and it shows. I believe that if more people jump on board of busy.org to interact with the steem blockchain that it will send a clear signal to the Steemit Inc team to focus more on their flagship product. Competition is good! May the best front-end win!
Holy cow. I remember seeing a little bit about Busy a few weeks ago, but was not aware of all the perks. Especially the dtube integration, because it just looks like trash when posted directly. I'll have to give it a shot, and see how it is better.. Especially for photos,since that's most of the content I look at.
I use busy.org about 70% of the time. It's been a bit buggy today so been back using steemit front end again.
The development and improvements should be done by steemit Inc are actually done by busy.org. I have not used busy.org yet but it seems very amazing app after knowing about its features . Thanks for review.
I didn't knew about the dtube integration directly on busy, that's cool.
I don't know if you read my message in your past article, but since busy doesn't have a night mode yet, that can be fixed using a chrome extension like dark reader, which is what I do so the screen doesn't hurt my eyes.
Busy have pretty much everything the steemit more info chrome extension provides but without the need to add said extension.
Also, is there a way to change the images size in busy?? so instead of looking like this:
It looks like this:
We're on the same boat :)
Don't forget notifications!!!!! Everything is better on busy - I'm a hardcore fan! 👍
@cryptoctopus,
I don't know how this coincident thing happened! After you started discussing about BUSY.ORG I could see STEEMIT UI changes :D I like this look and feel of STEEMIT.COM but I will try BUSY.ORG due to your conclusion!
Cheers~
This is really helpful. You've inspired me to give Busy a second try. I had checked it out, but was so new to Steemit at that point that one UI was enough to learn at a time.
I finally got my vote slider recently, but as you say, it isn't that precise. And I've also had problems getting dtube videos to play here on Steemit. The referral link is another bonus. Yeah, definitely going to give it a go. Thanks again for the article.
That's an awesome facts to invite us to busy.org
Busy.org is really really stepping up their game i would say, and at a fast rate. It is a healthy competition against steemit.inc and i'm ready with popcorn to see what happens next.
I mean, voting sliders is the greatest desire of users with <500SP and now everyone can have it without using esteem or other 3rd party even 4th party apps.
The @dtube integration is also a highly commendable one. Now you can stream dtube videos directly from busy.org. I think Busy has totally bought. Imma get serious about making those customized busy.org shirts.
Maybe next time you post @cryptoctopus, i'll comment with a picture of the shirts, Maybe☺
Way to go Busy

Following you
Yes i like how busy.org work every info you want is there who is upvote you the persons you upvote, upvote worth and upvote power...
And recently they develop a good update bar notification you can know who's mointed you on post or comment and you can know also who's followed you.
Excellent analysis of busy.org and i also like their steem and sbd live price chart because by viewing it we won't need to visit coinmarketcap every day and we stay updated regarding prices all the time and another thing which i like about busy is that they always telling us about interesting people's on steem blockchain and this feature make really easy for us to find new interested and like minded peoples on steem blockchain and no doubt browsing in busy is alot faster than steemit, i also planning to shift myself to busy.org, thanks for sharing you busy.org experience with us, Stay blessed
