HiveSuite Development Update

This ensures that each account type receives the appropriate profile experience based on its capabilities.

Web2 & Web3 Profile Tabs

Resolved an issue where a logged-in Web2 user could cause Web3 profiles to incorrectly display limited tabs.
Improved profile type detection independently from the currently logged-in account.
Ensured that viewing a Web3 Hive profile does not inherit Web2-specific profile restrictions.
Preserved the correct profile experience when navigating between Web2 and Web3 identities.

This is an important fix for users who use both Web2 and Web3 accounts within the same HiveSuite session.

Profile Tab Detection & Account Separation

Replaced raw network errors with clear, user-friendly messages.
Added specific feedback for offline and timeout situations.
Users can now understand whether an action failed because of connectivity rather than seeing a technical error message.
Improved error presentation across important content interactions.

This makes network failures easier to understand, especially for users accessing HiveSuite through mobile or unstable connections.

User-Friendly Network Error Messages

Added network connectivity checks before important operations.
Checks are performed before actions such as:
- Commenting
- Voting
- Editing
- And other related operations
Prevented unnecessary API requests when the device is already offline.
Provided immediate feedback instead of allowing the application to wait for a request that cannot succeed.

This improves responsiveness and reduces frustrating waiting states when connectivity is unavailable.

Proactive Offline Detection

One of the important usability improvements is preserving user-entered content when network requests fail.

Comments remain intact after failed requests.
Replies remain intact.
Image and other attachments remain available.
Users can retry the operation after reconnecting without recreating their content.
Prevents accidental loss of work caused by temporary network problems.

This is especially important for longer comments, replies, and posts where recreating the content would be frustrating.

Draft & Attachment Preservation

The improved network handling has been applied across multiple areas of the application, including:

The goal is to provide a consistent network-failure experience throughout HiveSuite instead of having different error behavior on different pages.

Network Handling Across HiveSuite

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.
