Thanks

I've taken a bit of a break over the last couple of weeks: we haven't left home because of the situation where I am, but my kids have been on holiday and I've been doing more stuff at home with them.

I had a bit of a rough few days with @v4vapp when some of the source code went bad. It's hard to explain to non devs and perhaps I'll write about it. Eventually I tracked the problem down to a typo I made 9 months ago!

A new visualisation of Podping

After seeing some posts on X from @hivetoday and some of the apps he's been deploying which visualize Hive in different ways, I remembered an app someone else wrote at the start of Podping but which has disappeared.

It just watches Hive for each @podping announcement that particular Podcast has updated itself, then displays the cover image of that podcast.

So he wrote the basic structure and I've built a back end (proxying calls because you have to) and voila it is here:

tiles.podping.org

Click on it and just watch! If the cover image of a Podcast interests you, you can click on it and be taken to the page for that podcast!

Let me know what you think of this. If you have any suggestions, the source code is here.

Thanks for the Witness Votes

I must also say thanks, I've received a steady stream of witness votes and I'm really grateful for anyone who has done this.

Value for Value

For the last few months while building @v4vapp I was generously supported by the DHF. Going forward I have a much more modest support which covers direct server costs and a little of my time.

If you appreciate the work I do on and around Hive, you can express this directly: upvoting posts on Hive is great. Also consider a direct donation (there's a Tip button on Hive or a Lightning Address) on all my posts.
