This is the Daily Development Pulse on the https://hivepulse.app with the goal to track the current progress, completed work or ongoing tasks. While I have succeeded to launch the app, now I am working to add new functionalities and/or fix current identified issues. I feel that I am still at the beginning and not sure how much traction the app had, but I am trusting the process and moving one step of a time with growing the project.
I could say that I have achieved a lot of small things that help improve the app and the experience around it. I will simply list the items that are considered work completed since the launch.
- Fix the History UI where two separate Menu elements were rendering for the same days.
- Cap the History section height to 80vh so it fits one screen and the operations list scrolls internally.
- Make History section collapsible with chevron toggle and move refresh button to top-right of header.
- Fix Vote Value calculation to reflect latest Hive blockchain behavior: vote value is now constant regardless of mana level. A 100% weight vote always uses the full post_voting_power (max vests) for rshares, so the displayed value no longer changes as mana drains or regenerates.
- Move Account Section Display and Account Refresh Interval out of the UI Config dialog into a new application config file. Both settings are now compile-time constants applied globally at initialization; the corresponding UI controls and store state/setters have been removed.
- Add separate history and posts refresh intervals (both default 60 s). Wire up two new auto-refresh intervals that independently re-fetch the History and Posts sections on their respective schedules.
- Replace white backgrounds with light grey in light mode: updated variables, replaced all hardcoded instances, updated gradients.
- Replace red links/text in History and Posts detail panels with teal.
- Replace homepage logo with one that can be more representative to the app.
While these were some UI improvements and also some functionalities corrections, I have next another list with things that I need to do. It seems that once you start a project you can either opt in for having a well prepared plan or try to adapt it as you go. You probably figured out that I have chosen the second option, thus I will run it going forward. Build new features, correct existing issues and develop new things based on community feedback is one way that I have approached this project. It still feels like is at the stage of a "baby" project, but in time I hope to expand it beyond the initial thoughts. It is not easy as I am doing mostly myself, but I feel a good energy in doing this so probably I will continue. That's it for this post and for the touches that I have done lately. And new ones are coming up... soon. 😉
