Thanks for sharing. I also find PeakD to be the most accessible front-end platform. I've tried a bit with inLeo using their threads to work similar to short-form on X, but I just didn't get much of an audience for my mostly Splinterlands posting there.
I've used that dashboard a bunch. Some really fun data there! I also like checking the updates on HiveBuzz to see if I'm on my goal of daily, weekly, and monthly submissions (and Hive Power Up Month).
How come? inLeo has its own token and an ad revenue-generating service that shares the revenue with its users. I'm not as clear how the short form posts get allocated HIVE rewards in addition to LEO rewards, but I'd agree that a short form post is, for the majority of the time, not generating as much attention and lasting information as long form posts.
But if it comes down to attracting users and eyeballs, short form content isn't a terrible place to be.
