Unified Application: hSnaps + hReplier Merge

  • feat: merge hSnaps and hReplier into a unified HiveSuite app.
  • Combined both applications into a single codebase:
    • Used hSnaps as the base application.
  • Structured hReplier module:
    • Isolated under src/replier/
    • Avoided path rewrites for maintainability
  • Result:
    • Single app experience for content + engagement
    • Reduced duplication and improved scalability
