HiveSuite

Unified Application: hSnaps + hReplier Merge

• feat: merge hSnaps and hReplier into a unified HiveSuite app.
• Combined both applications into a single codebase:
  • Used hSnaps as the base application.

• Structured hReplier module:
  • Isolated under src/replier/
  • Avoided path rewrites for maintainability

• Result:
  • Single app experience for content + engagement
  • Reduced duplication and improved scalability
