First Post Using Chainbb.com - Yes, I'm REALLY late to this party.

So I've seen it talked about for the past couple of months, but never actually looked close enough at it to see what ChainBB.com really was.

So far, I love it. This form factor has a very familiar experience to it. I'm pretty sure I know a lot of people - especially the newer members - who I could see preferring it to the original steemit.com site.

I like how profiles are laid out, also.

The "Create a new Post" page seems fairly user friendly. I would, however, like to see a Markdown formatting bar for easier formatting. This seems to be one of the things that's been missing from the overall Steemit experience. There's one on the Steemit.com site, but it's incomplete. Markdown is capable of so much more than many of the formatting toolbars I've seen, and that could open a large door for the community. If chainbb.com could adopt something like that (and the devs may already be, I don't know), I think that would seal my vote for this as my go-to GUI for the Steem blockchain.

My favorite thing about it so far, however, is the fact that I can scroll ALL the way back to my very first post from July 16 last year. On Steemit.com, I can only scroll as far back as 6 months. I've heard this issue isn't the same for everyone.

The whole site feels like old-school phpBB, which I love. Things are laid out in a much more comprehensive and categorized manner. As Hive account@giftedgaia and I have mentioned on the podcast in the past, we used to frequent (and I used to moderate/admin) a phpBB site for the local electronic music scene in our area for the span of about 8 years. We finally had to lay it to rest due to lack of traffic because of bigger social media sites like Myspace and Facebook.

I'm going to set this as my homepage for a little while and see if it sticks. I may be giving another review after some time with it. In the meantime, however, so far so good. :)

Great job, Hive account@jesta. I can't believe it took me 2 months to get here.
