Hello 3Speak & Hive community members,

@sagarkothari88 here. With this post, I will share updates on 3Speak Mobile App development.

3Speak Mobile App - Minor Update - v1.2.3 Release

  • I recently rolled out a new version, v1.2.3, on both Google Play Store & Apple's AppStore.
  • The following list describes the set of changes that were implemented in the new version.
  • ✅ Bug Fixed - Login with HiveAuth - Trim white spaces at the beginning and the end. @arcange reported it.
  • ✅ Bug Fixed - When canceling a broadcast, the app shows an infinite loading indicator. transaction. Reported by @arcange (When operations (like upvotes) are declined (sign_nack), the app displays it as an error (which it's not) and stays idle with the spinning wheel forever. This should be better managed.)
  • ✅ UI Improvement - Once the user is logged in via HiveAuth, there is no need to show QR codes for transactions like upvoting & comment.
  • ✅ UI Improvement - QR Codes, wherever displayed, must be tappable.

3Speak - Video Posting Automation

  • Mobile app users must come back to the app & manually publish the video.
  • I've added a script to automate the video posting to avoid this.
  • As soon as video encoding is complete, the video will be published by 3Speak on behalf of the user.
  • This will happen only if the user has given posting authority to 3Speak.
  • This script went through the intense review process
  • https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-frontend/pull/7
  • Finally, it was approved by @vaultec.
  • I thank him for his rigorous code review, guidance & support.

3Speak - Video Status Update Automation

  • While publishing the video, some mobile users miss the step to publish the video.
  • Due to this video stays in the publish_manual state & stays in the invisible state.
  • Number of users encountered issue & reported it.
  • @offgridlife & some other users faced it.
  • I wrote a script to check videos published on Hive, but the status is incorrect. The script will take care of correcting the status of the published videos.

3Speak <=> @Ecency Integration

  • I've been in touch with Adesojisauljay & @good-karma.
  • I was involved in resolving their doubts, and enhancing the APIs to support different use cases to implement 3Speak within Ecency.
  • https://github.com/spknetwork/3speak-legacy-studio/pull/13
  • I have also enhanced the API to support users logged in with Hive-Signer.
  • Changes suggested by @ecency are deployed & I am eagerly waiting for 3Speak on Ecency.
