HiveSuite Dev Update: Drafts Workspace, Scheduled Posts & Push Notification Support
HiveSuite adds drafts management, scheduled posts workspace, push notifications, app badges, and deep linking.
HiveSuite
Expanding Productivity & Real-Time Engagement
This development cycle focused on improving content management workflows and bringing real-time notifications to HiveSuite.
Users can now manage drafts and scheduled content from a dedicated workspace while also receiving push notifications directly on their devices—even when the application is closed.
These improvements move HiveSuite closer to a native-app experience while maintaining the flexibility of a modern web platform.
Drafts & Scheduled Posts Workspace
Managing content is now significantly easier with a dedicated Drafts & Scheduled Posts experience.
New Drafts & Scheduled Section
Added a new Drafts & Scheduled entry inside the right-side profile drawer.
This provides a central location for managing:
- Saved blog drafts
- Scheduled posts
- Draft editing workflows
- Content organization
Drafts & Scheduled Workspace
Enhanced Draft Management
Rich Draft Cards
Drafts now appear as complete content cards instead of simple list entries.
Each draft displays:
- Post title
- Preview image
- Description
- Tags
- Saved timestamp
This makes it much easier to identify drafts at a glance.
One-Click Draft Editing
The Edit button now reopens drafts directly inside the Parent Post Composer.
All content is restored automatically, including:
- Title
- Body
- Images
- Tags
- Metadata
Users can continue writing exactly where they left off.
Draft Editing Workflow
Safer Draft Deletion
Confirmation Before Removal
Discarding a draft now requires confirmation.
This prevents accidental loss of content and provides a safer editing experience.
Benefits include:
- Reduced accidental deletions
- Better content protection
- More predictable workflow management
Draft Delete Confirmation
Unified Drafts & Scheduled Experience
Tab-Based Layout
Drafts and Scheduled posts are now combined into a single page using a familiar tabbed interface.
The layout follows the same interaction patterns used throughout HiveSuite.
Available tabs include:
- Drafts
- Scheduled
Sticky Navigation
The tab bar remains pinned while scrolling through content.
This allows users to switch between sections quickly without needing to return to the top of the page.
Skeleton Loading States
Replaced traditional loading spinners with modern skeleton placeholders.
Benefits include:
- More stable layouts
- Reduced visual shifting
- Better perceived performance
Push Notifications & App Badge Support
HiveSuite now supports full push notification functionality.
Users can receive alerts even when the application is not actively open.
Real-Time Push Notifications
Added support for push notifications across supported devices.
Notifications can now be delivered when:
- Someone replies
- Mentions occur
- New activity is available
- Future notification types are introduced
Push notifications continue working even when the app is closed.
Push Notification Support
Notification Settings Management
Dedicated Notification Settings
Added a new Notifications section inside Settings.
Users can:
- Enable notifications
- Disable notifications
- Manage notification preferences per device
This gives users full control over how they receive alerts.
Firebase Testing Support
Device Token Visibility
The device notification token is now displayed inside Settings.
Features include:
- Copy-friendly token display
- Easy Firebase Console testing
- No backend setup required for testing
This significantly simplifies notification development and validation.
Deep Linking & Navigation
Direct Screen Navigation
Push notifications now support deep linking.
Tapping a notification automatically opens the appropriate application screen.
Examples include:
- Posts
- Comments
- Notifications
- User profiles
- Future supported content types
This creates a seamless transition from notification to content.
App Badge Support
Unread Notification Counts
Installed HiveSuite PWAs now display notification badges on the app icon.
Badges automatically update as new notifications arrive.
Automatic Badge Cleanup
Unread badge counts are cleared automatically when:
- Opening the Notifications page
- Signing out of the application
This keeps notification indicators accurate and up to date.
Notification Badge Support
Built-In Notification Testing
Send Test Action
Added a built-in Send Test feature.
Developers and testers can quickly validate:
- Push delivery
- Badge updates
- Deep linking
- Device registration
Without requiring additional infrastructure.
Mobile PWA Testing Improvements
HTTPS Tunnel Support
Push notifications now work correctly when testing through common HTTPS tunnel providers.
Supported services include:
- Cloudflare Tunnel
- ngrok
This makes mobile testing significantly easier during development.
Better Progressive Web App Experience
Combined with app badges and deep linking, HiveSuite continues to deliver a more native mobile application experience directly from the browser.
