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:

• smoother mobile UX
• faster interaction flows
• additional features (media attachments, markdown preview, bookmarks, videos, audios, polls, etc.)
• and eventually shared features across apps (like syncing, SSO, etc.)

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:

• consistently powering up
• investing into Hive
• and self-funding development for years

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 🙏
