Happy holidays and a very happy new year to everyone!
It has been over a year since made some posts on Kanibot updates. This doesn't mean that there were no developments on Kanibot but instead, no posts were made explaining the improvements. Kanibot is still very active on Discord and is being updated frequently with security fixes and improvements.
Going forward I am going to try giving an update at least once a month. This will also allow me to work more on Kanibot just for the sake of updating the community. I have been maintaining the backlog for Kanibot improvements and slowly introducing features one by one.
Kanibot is a notifications service for Hive and Hive Engine users. Currently, the notification is targeted towards discord users. There is also a feature available in Kanibot to get some game-specific notifications as well. Kanibot started as a Hobby project when we had issues with Gina bot. Later more notifications and features were introduced to Kanibot and it was released for public use. A few users are using this for their notifications on Discord and I'm trying to keep this up to date.
Along with this update, I would like to highlight some of the new features and changes introduced to Kanibot.
In addition to all the above, there were a lot of updates done to the backend of the bot to make it more efficient. I'm also having an internal feature where I vote on some accounts based on specific needs. That's an internal feature used only by me. Soon I will try to make it public.
Kanibot is a witness on Hive Engine. This has been operational ever since nodes were made public and incentives were announced for operating a Hive Engine node. I have been operating and maintaining a public Hive Engine node since then. In the last two years, there have been a lot of changes made to the way the witness nodes are operated. A few months back the Hive Engine witness nodes were attacked and I moved the DNS to be managed by Cloudflare. There are some rules set on Cloudflare to do some rate limiting.
If you like what I'm doing on Hive, you can vote me as a witness with the links below.
