Ecency desktop app release - new brand, new code, new experience

Long waited release is here, we just released initial version of Ecency desktop application. This is continuation of Esteem Surfer application but better, faster, newer.

Reason why it took longer than expected because we wanted to make our https://ecency.com website feature full. So when new desktop application is released with new codebase, it could give you similar functionality right away. We are proud to say we are releasing initial version based on same codebase as our website. Going forward maintaining and developing new features will be efficient and releases will be in more harmony across the products. Our next goal will be to make mobile application also work in synergy. It already does work similar way and your bookmarks, drafts, etc is in sync with website and desktop app and mobile app. So let us tell you more about Ecency desktop application and why it is different and what's new...

What's new

New codebase, based on https://ecency.com
New brand, new name - note, this version will require new login, because of app name change and codebase changes, you will be asked to relogin with your accounts again.
New Login - as usual we allow login with Hivesigner and standard login seemlessly only now standard login won't be saving your credentials on your device hence, extra encryption is not required. When you login with your keys, we generate hivesigner access_token and use that for future operations. Hivesigner access token is used to secure your drafts, bookmarks and all custom data. Learn more how we are using access token to secure your data here
Multi-account management is one of the best feature Ecency has, so you have it by default.
Communities, all community creation, management operations are now possible with desktop app as well.
Easy and improved signups
Wallet and Points management
Fast and dedicate Search pages - Hint: type these into search bar @ to search user, # to search tags, $ to search communities, any word to search for posts and comments. Same feature is already possible on https://ecency.com.
Overall, all features are available on website should be possible with desktop app even more, unique to your desktop experience.
