Considering some weaknesses in the "social" aspect of our network.

As I saw another Blockchain Network with better front-end interfaces I was thinking about how could we make a better interface for Hive Ecosystem.


  • Short Posts is a must:

    • An interface to post phrases, paragraphs, single/multiple photos, videos, etc right at the top of the feed for easy access.
    • Automatic limit set to "2 cents", but if the post gets over a 3 phrases written paragraph, image or video it increases to 0.2 HBD(20 cents).
    • If a post is made less than 2 hours after the last, the limit is set to 2 cents no matter the length/nature(text, photo, video) of the post.
      • If it has been less than 5 minutes since last post, it goes to a local queue to be automatically submitted in a timestamp 5.5 minutes after last post. Subsequent posts go to the same queue.
    • Photos and videos have a generated IPFS address or WebTorrent magnet link with an IPFS static seed. Both with a not long server storage. Let's say, 24 hours? 12 hours? After that it's the user's responsibility to keep the file available.
      • A user-friendly desktop application can be made to check Hive accounts for IPFS/WebTorrent files and download them for local storage and seed. User can choose to delete specific files or set a TTL to seed after the post.
        • IPFS can be pretty slow when searching for files and peers. That's why I suggested an alternative like WebTorrent.
    • Longer and well-produced posts should have a different interface for rich text where the user can choose specific configurations. Like the interfaces we currently have on PeakD, Ecency and hive.blog.

  • Common user's difficulties with password:

    • Instead of relying on user's own responsibility to keep their passwords safe, better to create new accounts with the creators with owning authority over the new account.
      • This would allow new users to recover said account in case of losing their keys.
      • If they consider themselves responsible enough and don't want to share the account with third parties, they can always remove the creator from the list of owning authorities.
    • Management account should have posting authority over people who wish to enable an easy login feature, such as linking a Facebook, Google, Twitter or Telegram account for easier access.
      • Easy login, as well as the necessary posting authority is disable by default.
      • As always, such authority can always be removed if user don't want to use easy login.

Sorry if one of those ideas might sound stupid or unpractical. It was just a few thoughts I was having to aggregate value to the social aspect of our network.

Thank you all for your attention and I would like to receive feedbacks.
