🎬 1. 3Speak Video Embeds: No More Switching, Just Watch
3Speak has long been a cornerstone of the HIVE ecosystem in the decentralized video space. With its robust architecture, it provides creators with censorship-resistant and reliable video hosting—playing a key role in the ecosystem’s diversity and growth.
Previously, when encountering 3Speak content in HIVE Reader MINI, users had to jump to an external page to watch videos. This “disrupted” experience was something we’ve been wanting to fix.
Now, it’s fixed.
With this update, 3Speak videos can be played directly within articles.
No need to leave the page—videos are seamlessly integrated into your reading flow.
We still keep the option to open videos on the official 3Speak site, so you can access its full interactive features whenever needed.
Special thanks to the 3Speak team for their technical contributions and long-term commitment to the HIVE ecosystem.
🧩 2. More Practical Improvements
Alongside the video upgrade, we’ve also optimized several features based on community feedback:
📚 Blog View Added
You can now switch to the “Blog” tab directly from the dashboard to focus on content from specific authors—making your reading more streamlined and distraction-free.
💰 Enhanced Wallet Insights
The wallet view is now more transparent, with added key metrics:
- Voting Power (VP)
- Downvote Power (DP)
- Estimated value of a 100% upvote
These additions help you better understand your account status and evaluate your influence more accurately.
🛠️ Code Quality & Security Improvements
We’ve continued refining the underlying codebase, fixing potential type issues and strengthening data handling security—ensuring a smoother, faster, and more reliable experience.
