This was one of those PeakD release batches where work landed in a few different areas at once.
Some of it is the kind of thing you notice immediately when opening a page, some of it is more in the category of "this is less annoying now" 😄
DHF Proposal details page got an usability upgrade
The proposal details page has been reworked quite a bit.
The layout is now cleaner and easier to read, with a better split between the proposal post and the governance details around it. Payment info, support level, creator/receiver details and vote-related actions are all presented in a more practical way instead of feeling like pieces bolted together over time.
Mobile got some attention too. On smaller screens the proposal view now behaves much better, with a tabbed split between the post content and the proposal details instead of trying to force everything into one awkward long layout.
Also we have better vote visibility around proposals now:
- a clearer all votes modal
- a separate recent vote activity modal
- fixed an old bug that could lead to some inconsistency in reported support level target
That makes the DHF section a lot more useful if you actually follow proposal activity instead of just occasionally clicking into it.
Using Hive Keychain new proposal to showcase the new page layout as the rework on this page sparked from a bug report by 🙏
The old Services page is now a much better Tools page
The old Services page has been redesigned and renamed to Tools. Not sure how many users were aware of that old page, but suggested to add "Hive project showcase" section and I decided to revamp the old list.
The page is now much closer to what it should have been in the first place: a curated directory of Hive tools, apps and games that is easier to browse and less like a forgotten utility page.
Of course it's pretty difficult to be sure we have everything listed there right from the start (and I expect a few typos as well). Please reach out with feedback and suggestions on what should be added.
Code blocks are much easier to deal with now
This is mostly tuning on the new code blocks introduced last week. You can now collapse and expand oversized blocks, and you can also switch wrapping on and off when a long line would otherwise blow up the layout.
The result is that technical content feels a lot less clumsy to read, especially when the alternative is either horizontal overflow everywhere or giant code walls taking over the whole post.
PeakD now has a proper sitemap setup
This one is less visible in the UI, but it still matters. Kudos to and
for brainstorming about this.
PeakD now exposes dedicated sitemap XML endpoints for the main site, communities, user pages and posts, with a sitemap index tying them together: https://peakd.com/sitemap.xml
The practical goal here is straightforward: make it easier for search engines to understand what should be crawled on PeakD, and give them cleaner signals around important public pages instead of leaving discovery too implicit.
There is also some filtering and structure behind it, but I don't expect it to be perfect right away. This is the kind of groundwork that we can use as a starting point and improve over time.
A few smaller updates that still matter
A bunch of smaller changes landed too. If you want you can review the full changelog for the current month here: https://peakd.com/about/changelog
As always if something feels better, worse, confusing, or broken on your side after this update, let me know.
