HiveSuite

HiveReactKit — Context-Aware Post Navigation

A major focus of this update was improving how users navigate between posts while browsing Hive content, particularly within Snaps and related feed experiences.

Context-Aware Navigation

Added contextPosts support across Snaps components for seamless post navigation.
This allows the post detail experience to maintain awareness of the feed or collection from which the user opened the post.
Improved navigation continuity when moving between related posts.

Next / Previous Navigation Fix

Fixed navigation behavior when the current post is not found inside the provided context.
Added a fallback to recommended posts when the current post is unavailable.
This makes Next / Previous navigation more reliable across different feed and content scenarios.

Improved Post Matching

Normalized authors and permlinks before indexing and matching posts.
Improved reliability when comparing Hive posts across different navigation sources.
Reduced navigation issues caused by inconsistent author or permlink formatting.

Navigation Context Forwarding

The contextPosts information is now forwarded through multiple navigation controls, including:

Next / Previous buttons
Sidebar navigation
Post carousel
Mobile FAB
Snaps feed interactions

This creates a more consistent browsing experience across both desktop and mobile layouts.

Local HiveReactKit Package

Linked the local hive-react-kit package with HiveSuite for development.
Rebuilt the local package after implementing the navigation improvements.
Verified that the updated library integrates correctly with the main HiveSuite application.

Context-Aware Post Navigation

HiveSuite — Post Navigation Integration

HiveSuite was updated to consume the new context-aware navigation functionality provided by HiveReactKit.

State Forwarding

Passed contextPosts when navigating from feed content to post detail pages.
Preserved the original feed context while opening individual posts.
Improved continuity between feed browsing and detailed post views.

Snaps Integration

Forwarded feed context from Snaps cards when opening post details.
Preserved navigation context when users interact through comment actions.
Ensured that posts opened from different Snaps interactions retain the correct navigation history.

These changes make post discovery and browsing more natural while reducing unnecessary navigation interruptions.

HiveSuite — Draft Management Improvements

Another important part of this update focuses on improving the way creators manage unfinished content inside HiveSuite.

Draft Sorting

Added inline sorting controls for drafts with two flexible options:

Sort By

Created
Edited

Sort Order

Ascending
Descending

This gives users better control over how their drafts are organized, especially when managing multiple unfinished posts.

Persistent Preferences

Saved draft sorting preferences in localStorage.
Sorting selections now persist across sessions.
Users can return to their drafts without having to configure the same sorting options again.

Enhanced Draft Metadata

Draft cards now display both:

Creation timestamp
Last edited timestamp

This makes it easier for creators to understand the history of each draft and quickly identify recently updated content.

Desktop UI Improvements

Moved the draft sorting controls into the My Content header.
Positioned them alongside the existing:
- Drafts
- Scheduled
- Failed

tabs.

This keeps the content-management controls close to the draft list while maintaining a clean desktop layout.

Mobile UI Improvements

The mobile draft interface was also refined with improvements to:

Draft title responsiveness
Text wrapping
Spacing
Padding
Overall card readability

These adjustments make draft management easier on smaller screens without changing the underlying functionality.

HiveSuite — Curation Leaderboard Fixes

The curation leaderboard received several important fixes to improve attribution and accuracy, especially when calculating results for custom date ranges.

Correct Curator Attribution

Fixed leaderboard calculations to use the actual curator represented by requestedBy.
Previously, the calculation could rely on votedBy, which could identify the voting bot instead of the actual curator.
The leaderboard now attributes curation activity to the correct community member.

Accurate Custom Rankings

Resolved an issue where all approvals were incorrectly attributed to @sagarkothari88.
Corrected the attribution logic so individual curators receive credit for their actual curation activity.
Improved the reliability of leaderboard rankings for custom date ranges.

Expanded History Scan

To improve the completeness of custom leaderboard results:

Increased pagination depth to scan up to 2,000 curation records.
Expanded the scan to 40 pages of historical records.
This provides a much larger dataset when calculating results for custom periods.

Improved Custom Filters

Improved leaderboard calculations for custom date ranges.
Ensured accurate metrics for custom ranges of up to 30 days.
Reduced the possibility of valid curation records being missed during historical searches.
