Was working on writing a "post" using hive keychain browser, and had an awkward scrolling issue that made the entire process miserable... Check it out here, where the page won't scroll:

Works fine in chrome,.. so cool, peakd saves drafts, use chrome peaklock and badaboom... Posted.

Haven't used hive auth aside from some testing when it was announced, and figured I'd see what clicking the things does these days... And, it asked me to open in chrome or keychain, keychain selected and bam, it said I was logged in. Granted I had to swap apps and hit back to refresh everything, but it was a mostly painless and seamless experience. Glad to see how some things have evolved. Lots of little quirks to fix up, but the ecosystem is coming along!

Ok, this is a bit awkward from a user experience perspective,...

Wants me to confirm pending transactions on my device, you know, the one I'm holding... But isnt telling me what to do, no prompts or anything, fortunately I'm a clever dog and knew to swap back over to keychain to see what was waiting for me...

Ok, so that is clunky, and not entirely seamless or intuitive... But "it works"!

And no, I won't auth blindly and allow all broadcasts... That defeats security and all that other tinfoil hat nonsense right?

Better then nothing!

Extras: oops I did it again...
