HiveSuite Dev Update: Push Notifications, Scheduling Improvements & Draft Reliability
FCM push notifications, reliable scheduling, draft recovery improvements, and scheduled post management updates.
Hive Inbox & HiveSuite Development Update
Hive Inbox Backend
Server-Side Push Notification Delivery
Firebase Cloud Messaging Integration
Added backend support for delivering push notifications to:
- Mobile devices
- Web browsers
Implemented push delivery using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
Push notifications can now be generated directly from backend events without requiring the application to remain open.
Device Registration Management
Server now stores registered notification devices for each Hive user.
Device records include:
- Platform information
- Last active timestamp
- Notification token metadata
Enables more reliable notification delivery across multiple devices.
Automated Notification Processing
Added a dedicated background worker for notification processing.
Hive events are automatically converted into push notifications, including:
- Replies
- Mentions
- Follows
- Votes
- Other supported notification types
Notifications are delivered without requiring manual refreshes inside the application.
Push Notification API Endpoints
Device Management Endpoints
Added new backend endpoints for:
- Registering notification devices
- Unregistering notification devices
- Self-testing push notifications
Client applications can now manage notification subscriptions directly through the API.
Automatic Token Cleanup
Invalid or expired device tokens reported by Firebase are automatically removed.
Prevents:
- Failed delivery attempts
- Unnecessary database growth
- Repeated notification errors
Improves long-term notification reliability.
Firebase Push Device Registration Flow
Safe Backend Startup
Graceful Firebase Handling
Backend now starts safely even when Firebase credentials are unavailable.
If Firebase configuration is missing:
- Push notifications remain disabled
- All other backend functionality continues normally
Allows easier deployment and development without mandatory push configuration.
Outcome
- Improved deployment flexibility
- Better operational reliability
- Safer environment configuration management

Scheduling Flow Improvements
Backend Posting Authority Integration
Fixed scheduled publishing flow to correctly use backend Posting Authority.
Scheduled posts no longer incorrectly trigger wallet-signing workflows.
Scheduled publishing now follows the same server-managed publishing process intended for automation.
Video Publishing Improvements
Video posts now always publish through the server-side flow.
Applies to:
- Immediate publishing
- Scheduled publishing
Ensures a consistent publishing pipeline for video content.
Wallet Signing Behavior
Standard text and image posts published immediately continue using normal wallet-signing workflows.
Preserves expected Hive publishing behavior while improving scheduled automation.

Draft Reliability Improvements
Fixed Draft Loading Issues
Resolved an issue where opening a saved draft could:
- Display an empty composer
- Briefly clear content after loading
Draft loading now behaves consistently across publishing workflows.
Reliable Draft Editing
Draft Edit now restores:
- Title
- Body content
- Metadata
- Composer state
Users can continue editing saved content without data loss concerns.
Draft Cleanup Automation
Successfully published posts now automatically remove their matching draft entries.
Successfully scheduled posts also remove their associated drafts.
Keeps the Drafts page clean and prevents duplicate content management.
Draft Restore & Cleanup Flow
Scheduled Post Controls
Cancel Scheduled Posts
Added a Cancel button to the My Scheduled page.
Users can now remove:
- Unwanted scheduled posts
- Duplicate schedules
- Stuck publishing entries
Includes a confirmation dialog before deletion.
Better Schedule Management
Gives users direct control over pending scheduled content.
Improves overall publishing workflow management.
Outcome
- More reliable scheduling
