My Experience
I have used other similar dapps, here is my take on a few frequently used ones.
Busy.org - Beautiful web user interface, I like it but,
It logs you when idle in your browser, then you get loads of error messages when you try to log back in. A huge turn-off perhaps others are experiencing the same or not, that is unclear.
Only available on the desktop at the moment, a real joy killer on commutes.
Esteem - A plug-and-play app on desktop and mobile with a beautiful UI, the team behind it frequently releases updates, making it better.
My issues with esteem are;
Lacks the free goodies in comparison to Partiko.
Can be buggy especially on the desktop but as mentioned, they release bug fixes every now and then.
Load time and scrolling experience. It takes forever to load your feed sometimes thus distorting smooth scrolling.
Partiko is seamless, it helps you connect to the community on the go.
The point system is a really a motivating part of being on it.
