SteemX or Steempro?

If you read Talkchannel hosted by @adeljose of last week, you read the question if you heard of SteemX
SteemX?
According to @bountyking5 - steemwatcher, it is a new, user-friendly portal to "Steemit". I had a look.
At first sight, it doesn't look different from Steempro. Unlike Steempro, there are links that don't work, no matter how hard I try, and I wonder why. Indeed, my Wi-Fi can be slow, but what Steempro can, can't SteemX, and it's quite annoying to keep trying, reloading, and nothing happens.
I made screenshots, let's have a look. I doubt more text is needed. You see who started SteemX (a witness), who supports it and a menu at the left, and if you click those 3 stripes at the top right, you see more options such as the steemwatcher's business (pictures 3, 4 and 5, here, also the browser address changes).
What "Steemit Funds Transactions History Tool" stands for, I can't tell you.
With some fuss, I could open the old-fashioned fountain pen (cool) to open the writing pad, and what the field looks like you see on the next picture.
I had a look at my "blog" and also "post" the rest didn't work (it did with Steempro without any problem).
I clicked on a post of @aneukpineung78 where all his info is shown (I miss your home address, phone number, Discord and Telegram dear friend), including a list of witnesses he voted for. Do I like to see all this info? The answer is NO, and I also wonder if this is one of the reasons why it's harder to load than steemit.com and Steempro?
I scrolled to the end of his post because I intended to leave a comment but I have no clue how to do this. Is it impossible to comment and reply, and how about reading the comments others left? I searched, but I can't find it, so if that option is given (I had the same issue with Steempro), this means it is NOT user-friendly, or is SteemX against comments?
You also see my profile, and as you see, the pink field (communities) is where I clicked and there is no response. I refreshed the page several times, but it feels as if it's a dead link (I tested with Steempro and no problem).
Interesting aspect: How come I can follow myself? Is this a new feature?
Last picture: Show the option to set a beneficiary. Negative is that you should know the name and not make any mistakes, otherwise it's a story without an end (SteemPro, the same counts for you).
What does kind of, work is notifications.
This list isn’t what I want to see. Notifications is an overview of literally everything—can I filter to just ‘replies’ or ‘mentions’? Frankly, I don’t want to sift through endless $0.00 votes just to find one comment. The only plus is that I can keep scrolling; unlike SteemPro, there’s no ‘load more’ button.









Steempro
What is a pink link at SteemX is purple with Steempro.
No link to Steemwatchers. The info provided is enough. What we see at the left is what we are used to see on steemit.com. The overall look is more "good for the mood" if it comes to me, The issues I found with Steempro I partly mentioned above in a part of my post of last week.



Differences?
Both sites are basically the same, and I find it hard to believe SteemX is a completely different, more user-friendly site than SteemPro or Steemit.com. When it comes to the choice of colours, I prefer SteemPro more. SteemX is too dark, and the red ‘X’ I find annoying—if not alarming—which isn’t a positive impression. I’m also not interested in all the extra information, and I strongly doubt the average Steemian (mainly focused on posting) is either. For more specific data, I’d rather visit SteemWorld.org made by @steemchiller.

Nice to see that you also use Steempro to post. I think it's a bit of a shame that this front end is relatively underutilized after all the effort faisalamin has put into it.
I find posting with Steempro a lot more convenient than with steemit. The preview on the right and now also with the option to save snippets. The man has put a lot of thought into it and implemented it excellently.

I do not always use it and I find it a bit hard to get used to. I wonder how many know that SteemPro has changed. I lately heard that many only use it if steemit is not accessible. I believe it can use more promotion. Personally, I don't need 10 different ways to have access to steemit, and I also don't understand why no one works together.
I know years ago I mainly used Partiko and after that Peakd for a while till it all stopped. It worked back then better than steemit, which was at a certain point hard to load. I truly hope that will not happen again since with me many deal with a slow connection or a slow device.

Spot on! It is exactly what I had in mind.
First, I have not used either of them. So, I am judging from the pictures that you have shared. The SteemX choice of colours is not the best. It seems that this design would work for a selected number of audience. Unlike, Steemit or SteemPro. I think it can be used on a wider range (since the interface).
Although, I find Steemit itself a user-friendly. So, I think that there should be something else added to these interfaces to attract me to use them. It is nice to have a different choice of interface. To be able to complete with other platforms in that area. We already have the boylikegirlclub interface. But, SteemPro still wins in terms of the design amongst the three of them.

SteemPro has the app and it seems that those two show a bit extra. For example SteemPro helpt with the markdowns (no longer the need to type or copy-paste).
If all games would be in one community, films also, stories, or a certain topic it would be great to enter that field with one click.
A great weekend!
Thanks for sharing your detail review about SteemX.
Basically, SteemX is still under development, currently around 40% complete. What you are seeing now is more of an early preview than a final product. Many features including comments, communities, and certain navigation elements have not been implemented yet which is why some links or sections might not work as expected.
Your point about the notification feed being cluttered is a good one and we plan to add filters (like replies or mentions only) to make it more manageable. This kind of feedback is valuable to us.

Good to hear that it's still developed. Once ready I will stop by again. Good luck with it.
Greetings, friend @wakeupkitty
Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts on SteemX. I think it's great that friend @bountyking5 (developer) responded immediately. SteemX is in full development, with plans to introduce some exciting new features. As Bounty said, we appreciate this type of analysis, which will clearly show where we need to improve.

It's good to read your comment as well. I am looking forward to see the end product. Good luck to both of you and thanks for the opportunity to try it out.
