The official home of "Hive Snaps" app β where youβll find everything you need to know about the newly launched app, and get ongoing updates about this exciting project.
But first β what is Snaps?
Snaps is a fairy recent new feature introduced by PeakD to allow users to post short-form content (up to 280 characters) β much like tweets, status updates, or microblogs β directly onto the Hive blockchain.
π Theyβre perfect for:
Quick thoughts and updates
Short tips and recommendations
Sharing a photo or a single idea
Linking to longer posts or external content
π Key Features:
No titles required
No beneficiaries or advanced options on payout
Supports images, tags, and markdown
Shows in a special "Snaps" feed on PeakD
Great for casual engagement and discovery
In other words, a Snap is a post 'on-the-go' β great for letting your followers know what you're up to, it can help build your audience, and of course, it pays too.
Enter: Hive Snaps!
Up until now, Snaps was only accessible through the PeakD frontend on your browser (via desktop or a phone). Now, with Hive Snaps app you can post snaps directly on your iPhone or Android - much like with other social media apps such as X and Bluesky.
Developed by Hive account@meno and Hive account@joseamenac, Hive Snaps is designed to boost engagement on Snaps through an exclusive (Snap-centric) mobile app, that offers a familiar and friendly social media UI, and an intuitive UX - that makes snapping more fun.
π§ββοΈ Hive Snaps Features include:
Easy sign-in with only 'username' and 'private posting key'
An expanded array of emojis π§ββοΈπ§ββοΈπ§ββοΈπ§ββοΈπ§ββοΈ
