HiveSuite

Renamed the default Drive guide to Hive Drive Integration Guide.pdf to align the seeded content with the current HiveSuite branding.
Added an automatic migration process for existing users so the previous guide filename is replaced with the updated version.
Existing users do not need to perform any manual cleanup or migration.
The migration runs automatically when users visit HiveSuite and ensures their Drive environment is brought up to date.

Hive Drive Integration Guide

Removed all remaining "OnlyOffice" references from seeded files and related content.
Updated the default Drive experience so newly created accounts receive only the current Hive Drive files.
Existing users are automatically updated without requiring any additional setup.
This keeps the Drive experience consistent for both new and existing HiveSuite users.
Successfully verified the project compilation with zero errors.

Drive Migration

Hive Drive Integration

Improved the mobile translation experience by introducing a dedicated floating action button (FAB) for translation.
The new FAB provides a more accessible entry point for translation actions on smaller screens.
Added a reliable bottom-sheet language selector specifically designed for mobile interaction.
Language selection now uses pointer events to ensure touch interactions work consistently across supported mobile devices and browsers.

Mobile Translation FAB

Removed the duplicate Translate option from the mobile 3-dot menu.
Mobile users now have one clear and dedicated translation entry point through the floating action button.
Desktop users continue to use the existing translation controls available in the header.
This creates a cleaner separation between mobile and desktop interaction patterns while keeping the translation functionality easily accessible.

Mobile Translation Experience

The updated translation workflow reduces unnecessary menu interactions on mobile.
The bottom-sheet selector provides a touch-friendly way to choose the desired language.
Pointer-event handling improves reliability when interacting with the language selector.
Verified the updated implementation with zero TypeScript compilation errors.

Made post tags directly clickable throughout HiveReactKit.
Clicking a tag now navigates users to the Topics page for that specific topic.
This provides a faster way to discover related content across the Hive ecosystem.
Users can move directly from a post into topic-based exploration without manually searching for the tag.

Clickable Post Tags

Updated tag styling with hover effects to make interactive tags easier to identify.
Navigation uses SPA-friendly routing so users can move between content and Topics without unnecessary full-page reloads.
The updated behavior creates a smoother content discovery experience across HiveSuite and other applications using HiveReactKit.
Tags now function as meaningful navigation elements rather than static metadata.

Topics Navigation

Removed createPortal usage from the affected implementation.
This change resolves React workspace type conflicts encountered during local package development.
Simplified the affected rendering flow while maintaining the existing user experience and functionality.
Improved compatibility between the local HiveReactKit workspace and consuming applications such as HiveSuite.

The latest improvements continue to strengthen the connection between HiveSuite and the shared HiveReactKit component library.
Drive migration ensures seeded content remains aligned with HiveSuite branding.
Mobile translation improvements provide a more reliable and focused interaction model for mobile users.
Clickable tags create a direct bridge between individual posts and the broader Topics discovery experience.
Workspace compatibility improvements make local development and testing more reliable.
These changes collectively improve consistency, navigation, maintainability, and usability across the HiveSuite ecosystem.

Continuously improving HiveReactKit with reusable components that make Hive applications richer and more responsive.
Building shared infrastructure for media rendering, translations, and smoother community navigation across the Hive ecosystem.
Contributing open-source enhancements that improve usability, consistency, and long-term maintainability for Hive frontends using HiveReactKit.
