Now I remember how new members feel again...overwhelmed

So finally I have had some more time on my hands after stabilizing this covid-19 situation around us, and getting more energy to look for what is around us again. And there was HIVE with all it's assets which I haven't been following all too good. But then I saw this yesterday (and yeah I know, I have been living under a rock)

All of a suddenthe HIVE token has been listed to a lot more and bigger exchanges and you can see what that has done with the price earlier in the week. I totally wasn't aware of it, but it does come with getting a lot more confidence in the coin. So time to look into it a bit more of all the features, and ow yeah....getting confused by it again.

Because I was looking into what was the usefull stuff for me earlier in the week, and it almost seemed I had to start from scratch again. Not a problem, just needing some time for this. But now I remember again how it felt when entering Steemit and having no clue about how blockchain and crypto and active keys and posting keys work. I remember figuring out back in that day like forever that wanting to access the keys that you had to click on the button next to it to show it. And with that all the time having the feeling like you might to something wrong that will delete your account. Annoying!

So for instance when I was trying to post earlier in the week on hive.blog and when I was trying to upload an image, it wasn't working so I turned back to my old roots at Steempeak (which doesn't really work on the Steem chain anymore to upload an image and it turned up sideways. I wasn't really aware of that our friends of Steempeak were hip and functioning at http://peakd.com

The next thing that was usefull to me is that hivesigner is working! No more messing around with entering your keys everywhere. This stuff just works, and makes everything a lot easier again! And easier is the equivalent of more fun and less pain in the ass!

Next stop I was pointed out that Steemworld is Beemee which works fine but is still gives me some mental twitches because the page isn't secure according to my thing and is giving me pop ups over it. Or is that just me? Well at least I have my stats back and that is exactly what helps again. So I would say if you are new to HIVE, use these pages and make life better in working this.

What I am curious about and I will be finding out more of this over the next weeks is if other Dapps are still on Steem or on HIVE. Did actifit make the move? Where is appics hanging? I am aware of that Splinterlands functions on all, but what about Steem-engine? Does it still work and is the name still the same? The hunt is open for getting more info!

And untill then...Feeling like a newbie again!
