# Welcome to @Snapie, The official home of **"Hive Snaps"** app — where you’ll find everything you need to know about the newly launched app, and get ongoing updates about this exciting project.
But first — what is Snaps? ![peakd menu -snaps.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/snapie/Eobyq9VDDPvQXb71EsJpnnub8Nku3UwFeSeMh1xMC5aJKF8QRDJbJgyKuiAXyEEhwid.png) ***Snaps*** is a fairy recent new feature introduced by PeakD to allow users to post short-form content (up to 280 characters) — much like tweets, status updates, or microblogs — directly onto the Hive blockchain. #### **👍 They’re perfect for:** - Quick thoughts and updates - Short tips and recommendations - Sharing a photo or a single idea - Linking to longer posts or external content #### **🔑 Key Features**: - No titles required - No beneficiaries or advanced options on payout - Supports images, tags, and markdown - Shows in a special "Snaps" feed on PeakD - Great for casual engagement and discovery
*In other words, a Snap is a post 'on-the-go' — great for letting your followers know what you're up to, it can help build your audience, and of course, it pays too.*
---------- # Enter: Hive Snaps! ![HiveSnaps - tiny.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/snapie/23u5ZBj1MkqqzcqZEYzA3vnSXbtv8ASt4cKdm2Ba2g8KxkY6DyGKYzQXSxSwLfbqdyxhP.png) Up until now, Snaps was only accessible through the PeakD frontend on your browser (via desktop or a phone).
