HiveSuite — Node Stability, Media Viewer & Exchange Directory

User-Controlled Hive Node Management

HiveSuite now provides much stricter control over Hive API node selection, ensuring users have complete visibility into how network requests are handled.

Strict Node Control

• The application now stays locked to the Hive node selected in Settings.
• Eliminates unexpected node changes during normal usage.
• Creates a more predictable experience for advanced users and developers.

New Auto-Switch on Failure Setting

• Added a new "Auto-switch node on failure" option in Settings.
• Users can now decide whether HiveSuite should automatically switch nodes when connectivity problems occur.
• The setting is disabled by default.

When Auto-Switch Is Disabled

• HiveSuite never changes nodes automatically.
• Any node failures display a clear and honest error message.
• Users maintain complete control over their selected endpoint.

When Auto-Switch Is Enabled

• HiveSuite intelligently monitors node health.
• Multiple retry attempts occur before any switch happens.
• Prevents unnecessary node hopping caused by temporary network hiccups.
• Provides smoother recovery from extended node outages.

Smarter Node Recovery Logic

• Added retry thresholds before failover activation.
• Implemented endpoint locking to prevent simultaneous node changes.
• Improved synchronization across:
  • Blogs
  • Snaps
  • Communities
  • Profiles
  • Wallet
  • Notifications

• Significantly improves application stability during network disruptions.
