Daily Development Update (Part 2): hCurators Major Enhancements and Community Support Features


Enhanced Curation Flow with Author Support Checks

When opening a post for curation, the system now performs four key checks on the author:

  • Do they vote sagarkothari88Hive account@sagarkothari88 as a witness?
  • Do they follow the curation trail?
  • Do they have ≥ 2,000 HP?
  • Did they include promotional content in at least 10 of their last 20 posts?

If any check fails:

  • A red blinking list is displayed above action buttons.
  • Curators can quickly assess the author's level of support.

Curator Confirmation for Weak Support

  • If 2 or more checks fail:
    • Curators must enter a reason (minimum 20 characters).
    • Actions like Reply & Vote / Reply / Upvote remain locked until input is provided.
  • The system does not block curation but captures intent.
  • Reasons and failed checks are stored on the backend.
