Hey Hivians!
We are thrilled to announce that HivePulse v1.4.0 is now LIVE on the Chrome Web Store! This update is a major milestone in our mission to provide the ultimate "Heads-up Display" (HUD) for the Hive blockchain, making your daily interactions smoother, faster, and more informed.
From real-time market data to deep social integration, v1.4.0 brings the features you've been asking for.
💓 The Pulse: Real-time User Notifications
Stay on top of your social interactions without ever leaving your current tab. We’ve introduced a dedicated User Notifications view (The Pulse) right under your stats.
- Infinite Scroll: Seamlessly browse through your mentions and replies with our new "load more" functionality.
- Refined UI: Mention notifications have been polished for better readability and a cleaner feel.
📈 Market Intelligence at a Glance
Keep your finger on the pulse of the Hive economy.
- Header Price Tracker: A real-time Hive price tracker is now integrated directly into the extension header.
- Stats Page Upgrades: The stats view now explicitly displays both Hive and HBD prices, so you're always aware of your account's value.
🔍 Find Anyone, Anywhere: Enhanced User Search
Finding and connecting with fellow Hivers has never been easier.
- Visual Search: User search now features Hive avatars and selection feedback.
- Bad Actor Protection: We've integrated the Bad Actor List directly into the search. Potential bad actors are now detected and highlighted while you search, helping you stay safe within the ecosystem.
- Smart Routing: Standardized frontend paths ensure that when you find a user, you can jump straight to their profile on your favorite interface.
🛠️ Your Pulse, Your Way: Customization & Ecosystem
We believe in the power of choice. HivePulse is now more customizable than ever.
- Custom Frontends: You can now add and manage your own custom frontends!
- Frontend Management: Reorder, activate, or deactivate frontends to match your personal workflow.
- Badge Prioritization: Choose what matters most to you—set your extension badge to prioritize either your unread message count or your VP/RC levels.
- Expanded dApp List: Discover the breadth of Hive with an expanded and categorized list of dApps, including new additions like HiveScan and updated branding for Tribaldex and HiveStats.
🎥 3Speak Integration
We are proud to welcome 3Speak into the HivePulse family! Switcher support for 3Speak is now fully integrated, allowing you to jump from a post on any frontend directly to its video counterpart on 3Speak.
🛡️ Security & Safety First
Your safety is our priority. HivePulse v1.4.0 now integrates the Bad Actor List from Syncad GitLab. We've also added a comprehensive Privacy Policy to ensure full transparency on how we handle your data (locally and securely!).
🚀 Other Improvements & Polish
We've spent a lot of time "under the hood" to make HivePulse faster and more reliable:
- Improved Login Experience: A new top bar for a smoother sign-in flow.
- Better Badge Logic: Fixed delays in badge updates and prevented text cutoff.
- Ecency Chat Enhancements: Better support for dynamic loading in Ecency chat and notifications.
- Surgical Bug Fixes: From restoring the Actifit logo to fixing custom frontend detection, we’ve squashed the bugs that were slowing you down.
