I was thinking of a feature I believe would help Hive out. I don't know if a frontend has already implemented that; if not, then the early bird gets the worm.
I really doubt I'm the first guy to have this obvious idea:
A podcast feature.
As much as I like to document my experiences in writing, I prefer to talk more than write. I feel my brain is more active when discussing, especially in dialogues rather than monologues. It's just way easier that way, as I usually think out loud. This morning, I was thinking about easy ways to make blogs so I would be a more consistent Hive blogger. I had an idea of getting these audio transcriber apps so I could just talk out my thoughts and convert them to a quick blog with a bit of editing.
AI might help with converting, but I feel I would need the Hive community's opinion about that before I give it a try, since I know this platform frowns on blog writing with the help of artificial intelligence. It's accepted if you let them know it's fully AI or that you were helped by it, just don't use it and claim it's yours. That's equal to plagiarism since AI is just what people have already written, amalgamated to form something that looks new but primarily isn't.
Well I did a few tests, and I think I will be implementing that style of creating blogs this week.
But anyway, thats what led me to the podcast idea. I have seen quite a number of frontends on Hive, but to my amazement, not one of them had the ability to upload an audio file. Maybe this thing already exists, if it does, I would be happy to have a link to it. Or maybe there is a technical side that makes it hard to do. I see a platform like 3Speak that hosts the videos of Hive, and I was thinking if they could also implement an audio-only feature as a podcast functionality. That would help all the frontends access it and implement it.
Okay, for now, the best probable thing would be to use the video functionality as the audio with just a thumbnail and the audio behind. I will definitely give that a try this month.
For those who are aware of technicalities on Hive, what do you think about this?
