Hello Hive fam! 👋
Today I want to share a development update about the work I’ve been doing for the Hive ecosystem. Over the past few days I’ve been deep inside the codebase improving hPolls App, adding new features, fixing issues, and polishing the user experience.
My goal is simple: make Hive tools smoother, faster, and more fun to use for the community. 💪
This post is part of my ongoing effort to contribute to the Hive ecosystem through development, and I’ll keep sharing these updates so everyone can see what’s being built behind the scenes.
One of the biggest improvements is the complete poll creation experience.
The app now includes a FAB-based poll creation flow that opens a structured modal interface. This makes poll creation smoother and more intuitive.
Inside the poll composer you can now:
This structure ensures that polls published on Hive are properly formatted and easy to interact with.
To publish the poll, the system integrates with aioha.comment using a correctly structured poll json_metadata.
Also, beneficiary routing was removed (extensions: []) to simplify the publishing process.
Publishing on Hive should feel smooth — not stressful 😅
So I added several improvements:
These improvements ensure users immediately see their newly created polls without confusion.
Another useful feature added is post payout tracking.
The app now integrates with Hive Bridge API using:
bridge.get_discussion
This fetches the post payout value and formats it as:
X.XXX HP
The value is then displayed inside the PostActionButton hiveValue field.
And don’t worry — if the payout fetch fails, the system includes a safe fallback so the UI won’t break.
Community tools are important for any social platform.
So I implemented:
Using:
aioha.reblog
Users can now easily reblog polls directly from the interface.
A report feature was also added with:
This helps keep the platform clean and trustworthy.
Supporting creators is core to Hive.
So I added a Tip Dialog that allows users to send:
The system includes:
This makes tipping quick and transparent.
To improve transparency and navigation:
/privacyThis solved several deep-link and share URL issues.
Now links behave correctly across browsers and shared posts.
Development isn’t just about new features — stability matters too!
Recent fixes include:
These improvements make the app much smoother on mobile devices, which is crucial since many Hive users browse from their phones.
Finally, I also addressed a small but important change:
hiveValue data type changed from Number → String in the PostActionButton component.
This prevents type conflicts and ensures compatibility with the new payout formatting.
Everything shared here is part of my ongoing contribution to the Hive ecosystem.
Building tools like hPolls helps make Hive more interactive and engaging for users. Polls, tips, reporting, and better UX are small steps that can improve the overall user experience across the platform.
I’ll continue sharing these development updates with the community as progress continues.
And yes… there will be more features coming soon 😏🚀
Thanks for following the journey and supporting Hive development!
Building hPolls for Hive: new poll composer, tipping, reblog, reporting, payout tracking, privacy page, and UX improvements 🚀
