HIVE fights boredom

While Web2 platforms struggle with how little they have to offer—since it’s all just more of the same—Web3—specifically HIVE—brings us something new practically every day. Either because these features have been around for a while but we’re only noticing them now, or because new applications are popping up like mushrooms in the fall.

ﾠ
If I had to describe HIVE in a single word, I wouldn’t hesitate: diversity.

You won’t die of boredom here. Want to write something substantial? There are various front-ends and communities available. From knitting to agriculture, through sports and art, there are communities for every field and interest.

Want to write something lighter? There are various microblogging platforms available to share a thought, a joke, a meme, a song, a photo—whatever you want. Don’t want to write, just want to browse? There are hundreds and hundreds of posts published daily. Take the opportunity to curate, vote for what you like. Build your portfolio.

Want to play games? There’s no shortage of them. Want to trade? Head to Hive-Engine or Tribaldex. Buy, sell, trade, have fun.

Sometimes I like to be on HIVE without posting, without curating, without interacting—nothing. Just looking around and exploring tools and apps that already exist or are being built.

Over the past few days, I’ve been drawn to several enthusiastic users who are raving about #hSnaps. I already knew they existed, but I’ve only recently given them the attention they deserve.

Any adjective used to describe @sagarkothari88’s apps will always fall short of the value he provides us.

Of the various tools available, I’ve only managed to focus on two so far: #hSnaps and #hStats.

hSnaps

I’d like to highlight the functional, minimalist interface, which allows you to view four microblogging feeds simultaneously: Snaps, Waves, Threads, and Moments. This well-organized view is very useful for curating content. You can keep track of all the microblogging feeds without leaving the same screen. The colors and design are identical to PeakD, which makes the experience feel familiar.

Another thing I really liked is that posts are immediately directed to the microblogging platform of your choice, without having to constantly switch between them. It’s the ideal spot for my strategy, which also emphasizes diversity. I like all of them, so my goal is to distribute unique content across each one.

On Snaps (Peakd), I share music, science and technology, photos, and some catchphrases. On Waves (Ecency), only photos with a predominance of the color blue. On Threads (INLEO), I posted when I became fascinated—and profited—last summer with the trio of INLEO tokens: #SURGE #LEO #LSTR.

On #hSnaps, I only recently made my first post, but I want to continue this unique way of sharing photos, here displayed individually in frames. I haven’t posted on Moments (Liketu) yet, but maybe something will come up soon.

hStats

There are many analytics tools available on HIVE, some more complex and sophisticated than others. But #hStats presents the essentials in a simple, accessible, and user-friendly way.

We can check all our blockchain activity; what interested me most was “Curation Rewards.” All our curation activities cover the last seven days—that is, the content currently in the payment phase—organized in chronological order. It’s like a photo’s EXIF data. Here’s what matters to me: date, voting time after publication, vote value, reward value, and, crucially, the voting efficiency for each post.

The cherry on top of this suite of tools, this laboratory of useful applications—still to be fully explored—is undoubtedly the financial reporting.

ﾠ
A fine example of transparency and rigor. The blockchain is an open ledger; all transactions are recorded and can be viewed, but aggregating all the information and making it available in this way is exemplary conduct that should be followed by everyone supported by DHF. Thank you @sagarkothari88.
