Your opening paragraph sounds like my first six months too :)
I haven't used the Ecency app, is it good? Learning doesn't end here for a long time - it is the start of an industry - this also means that there is a massive amount of opportunity for those who do learn.
Yes, I like it. It makes me be active on HIVE everyday; read, comment and upvote posts with mobile phone. It is like Partiko. Do you know it? It is dead now.
Otherwise, I would open browser, write hive.blog or peakd to follow what happens on HIVE. I might have forgotten to open HIVE, that's possible.
