Thanks, I stick with @stayoutoftherz/replies for replies, that is completely fine and has more useful information (e.g. which replies I have already upvoted).
Why an extra app for things which are in place already? Better focus on the real needs of Hive. Create an app that either generates revenues for Hive or burns Hive. We need to reduce the selling pressure, not duplicate features!
Thanks for sharing. Fair points
If something like PeakD already works well for you, that’s good.
Hive benefits from strong tools, and I’m not trying to replace them.
What I’m trying to do is slightly different.
My focus is on building a mobile-first suite of apps that make Hive easier to use, especially for people coming from Web2 platforms. A lot of existing tools are powerful, but they can feel fragmented or desktop-oriented for new users.
With apps like #hReplier, I’m experimenting with:
So it’s less about duplicating, and more about exploring a different approach and improving accessibility.
Regarding selling pressure — I understand the concern, but that’s not something I’m contributing to.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
We’ve been:
So our contribution is more on the building + long-term ecosystem growth side.
My belief is:
better apps → better user experience → more users → more activity → stronger Hive
(What do you think about it?)
Not everyone needs to use these apps, and that’s totally fine.
But if they help even a small group of users — or bring in new ones — I think it’s a positive for the ecosystem.
Appreciate you sharing your perspective 🙏

No, I don´t think that is a viable approach, as experience from last years shows - unfortunately - that building brings no new users. I wish it would be like this, but it isn´t. Therefore we need to change the approach. But people here only do what they are able to (no accusation, it is normal) - build and build with zero new users staying (and investing). At least you are not draining the DHF.
That’s a fair point, and I agree that just building apps alone doesn’t guarantee new users 👍
My approach is a bit different — I’m focusing on small, mobile-first, Web2-like apps to reduce onboarding friction, instead of one complex interface.
Some ideas are also coming from discussions with people like Blocktrades (e.g. hSurvey, hApprover), so I’m trying to align with real needs, not just build randomly.
There are more apps in pipeline (hSurvey, hChat, hShorts, hVideos, etc.), many focused on usability and onboarding.
I agree we need users who stay and invest — my bet is that better accessibility + familiar UX can help move us in that direction over time.
Happy to adapt as we learn 🙂
Keep sharing your feedback / thoughts.
Eager to learn & make my understanding broader.
