Busy have plenty of bugs lately!

A quick dive into why I think busy.org is getting so many bugs lately and how they are not addressing them with the community.

So for anyone that doesn't know busy.org, I leave a quick intro here. Busy is another platform like partiko that allows you to do everything in the steemit social platform with a much more modern interface and well-organized website. I would strongly advise anyone that never experiment it or just feel steemit have a poor interface to give it a try.

Recently I have been using and testing out busy like many users and have been experiencing some problems. After searching for any similar issues, I didn't find anything that helped me fix or possibly understand what was happening. So I tried to comment on busy.org to seek support and solutions. The support from them never came, but plenty of other users identified the same problem and were able to collectively find a temporary solution. You can follow the full thread conversation here https://steemit.com/busy/@kreesher/ptvh1t

To summarize the issue, the problem was due to the inability to log in on their website because it seemed to be down. The only message that appeared didn't help either to understand or fix any issues as you can check below.

So the quick tip if you ever encounter this problem instead of trying to enter their website on the original link busy.org just use the link staging.busy.org provided by @meesterboom, that seems to always work.

On top of that problem, I have identified 5 more, that are a real problem for me. But if anyone else found more in their usage I would be glad if you can share them below.


The main issues are:

1. Images are broken when uploading from busy and you try to view them on steemit or partiko ( so I always have to upload images on steemit to be able to see them well in every platform);

2. The search field can only search by users and not by threads or channels ( like you can on steemit);

3. You can't hide resteems on people blogs (like you can on steemit);

4. Every time I enter the website I have to log in. It doesn't remember the credentials ;

5. Problems on the wallet, infinite information loading (like you can check on the image below).

Now to close this subject and answering the title question on why I think this happens and it's getting worse lately. The quick answer, in my opinion, is due to the shift they are taking with the entire brand and also the new upcoming release of the busy interface that will have a total makeover allowing also to have a mobile app as well. You can have a sneak peek regarding busy future on this link. https://hello.busy.org/

So having all the resources and focus on this new redesign platform, I think they are slowly leaving behind the old version. That's why it's showing more bugs and problems than ever. Since they are not putting the same level of attention and care in their old version bugs and corrections fixes as they did in the past.

Let me know if you found out more issues and problems using busy and also what do you think about the new redesign app on the comments.

I sure have been having all those problems and it is very frustrating. It looks like they got the staging to be the real thing at least. But the logging all the time makes me crazy! You have a good summary here :)

Thanks for you comment and input on this @fitinfun and yes you are right and frustrating is the least we can say here. The big issue is that no one from their team took the time to even address this or clarify what is going on or at least answer to people that are having problems.

Regarding the logging I also have that problem and is something that is really frustrating as well. Meanwhile I have to jump between steemit and busy. Even if steemit is much worst in terms of design at least it’s always more stable.

Hope this can be fix soon or at least they launch the new busy platform right away to implement the new system and get something that finally works well.
