Loving Ecency Notifications & Favorites features!
When I saw the latest Ecency Challenge Post about what is your most used Ecency feature, I was very excited as I have many favorite features! Thanks to @melinda010100 and @xuwi for the great challenge.
There are many great features on Ecency that make it a great Dapp, but the most used feature for me is the amazing detailed notifications that you get on Ecency and of course also in the App.
This feature, gives you a great overview of all your events that are happening on Hive and no other Dapp gives you this proper detailed overview and keeps you up to date on your posts, comments and other things in this feature.
I love to see that red dot in the corner and to check what notifications that I have. In this way, I do not miss any of my activities or engagement on Hive, which is important for me. I don't want to not reply to someone or miss something important.
Favorites
As part of the great notifications feature, you can also use the Favorites feature which then allows you to be notified when your favorites then produce a post.
This for me is great so that I can see when they post and I can catch it as soon as they post. It is for me a further extension of your follower list, but a more refined and private one.
Here you can see how the notification looks like when your favorites produce a post. This is such a useful feature and allows me to keep upto date with certain Hivers and not miss any of their new posts as soon as they have been created.
The great thing is that the feature is anonymous also, so there is no notification if you add or remove someone to your favorites unlike when you unfollow someone.
I like to use this feature to keep track of some of my favorite authors and also those who I like to manually curate 1st and support when they produce good content.
Proposal
This leads me onto the proposal that is currently up for vote with Ecency. Ecency has delivered so much development and features over the last year, they have a proven track record that we should continue to support the latest proposal https://ecency.com/proposals/283
The Ecency App is something that I use daily and keep upto date with Hive on the go. This is the best App on Hive and with the notifications, is a daily tool I am using to enjoy the full Hive experience.
I think there is more coming with Ecency and the team have delivered alot so far and not just on the development side with Ecency App, Waves, WebApp and the amazing other features you use daily and don't think too much about as you take them for granted as standard features. It isn't til you use another Dapp and see the feature isn't there.
The Proposal should also be supported as all the dev work is open sourced and can be used by other Hivers to develop further or use for their own community fronted.
Ecency also does a lot of Non-Dev things such as they are also involved in supporting many communities, contests and supporting engagement with leaderboards and engagement contests.
Overall, I may be biased as it is my most used Dapp, but I think it is a worthwhile project that is worth supporting.
Thanks for reading.

by far my favorite front end on Hive, actually it was because of Ecency that I found Hive, at first the app was a bit buggy but with recent release its been flawless, there is one thing I would love from Ecency and thats 2FA plus if I could disable keys from the app, but over all my favorite front end specially on mobile
Thats great to hear that you finding the app flawless since the new release. I am loving it too. How would the 2FA work for you? I understand our cryptographic login, makes 2FA obsolete. If you have your key, you are "authorised", it is one of the great things about web3.
I know nothing on how the encryption works but if someone has your keys they are in, if on top I could have a key generator, ie Google Authentication that generates a random access number every time you login so if someone gets your keys for some reason they they also need the generator
2FA is not self custody though. With Hive you have layered security more than other chains because you can also just use your posting key so nothing harmful can happen to your account if someone gets hold of it.
Yes there are ways to self custody 2FA, I do it but its not practical, the posting key that too, I was looking how to remove keys from the app but dont know how to
I presume uninstall and reinstall is the only way currently.
I've been here for 6 1/2 and my keys have always been secure. It's not something most of us worry about. Just don't give your keys away to a scammer!
Im not saying Im worry about it or no one should be, Im just saying it would be cool feature, I know some people over react the moment they read this kind of conversation and yes always in security the biggest flaw is the user not the system
Yup 👍
Notifications and also there is a separate option on ecency application where we can check who mentioned us and who replied to us.
Ecency is no doubt a great application
These are some great things about Ecency notifications too.

Same here. I prefer Ecency over PeakD and Leo although I value the tremendous work the dev teams have put into making those front ends good. There are three things I'd be keen to see come to fruition on Ecency:
Those are some good suggestions. Did Ou add them to the discord group already? I added the read feature as a wish feature today.
No, I haven't. I don't use Discord. Feel free to forward my suggestions if you see fit.
Great, I will do.
Notifications are the needed thing toi make a good front end
I think you are right
I make use of ecency the most because the view is well explained and easy to understand
I find it the best to view articles, nice and clean.
I love this innovation
I think so too! Its pretty great what the Devs at Ecency are doing!
I also very much like the detailed notification on Ecency, makes it really simple to know what's happening with one's account, from engagements to transfers and everything in between. Definitely, my favourite Hive dapp.
I agree totally. I cant work on Hive without my Ecency notifications! lol
Thank you for being part of our challenge)) You are super Ecencial!
I thought I was the only one who loved to see that notification sign. I like it when I am able to view whatever comes into my account and it is the notification that makes this possible
Yes, we are alike! I love these notifications for doing my Hive business! Also engagement and comments is the best with Ecency.
Yes absolutely the best. Ecency is the best for me
I wish the favorites section was more like PeakD. I have suggested that to them a couple times. I'd like to see some sort of feed versus having to sort through all of your alerts.
I will have to check that out. I would like to see feed improvements on Hive.
I'm always in search of a better notification system... I like the idea of Favorites. I used to have something similar when the discord notification bots were still working. Leo has it as Lists for Premium, but so far this only works for Threads. I'd need it for long-form content too.
The extra visible notifications on Ecency are really important so that I don't miss anything. I didn't know that about InLeo, I will have to check it out, but I remember the notifications didn't work well there in the past.
Yeah, I poked around the Ecency notifications. I like them. I use different notification systems and still miss some notifications from time to time, and I hate it when I see that happening.
You've been curated by @amazingdrinks! Delegations welcome!
Thanks for your support.
I've migrated to Ecency over the last month or so, I agree it's great! I keep learning a new trick here and there, but it's really easy to use and the notifications are useful too. I agree with you!
That's great to hear. I think the App is the most handy to use and love the notifications.
