hSnaps and hReplier: Favourite Hive Tools

Being on Hive is a daily experience. You get to come across new things and new developments. Things one might have known or had a glimpse of and to the ones that could be completely oblivious My time here has exposed me to several things the blockchain offers, and time in and time out, there's one new thing or another. It could be learning about a new development, crypto, ways to make my writing and posting better, more about a frontend and so on. Something new comes around.

Recently, I came across a new development from Hive account@sagarkothari88. Inquisitive, which is something I like to be when it comes to the blockchain, I decided to check it out. Thanks to Hive account@bhattg for posting it on the IndiaUnited discord server. I tapped the link, which took me to the site. I got to read more about it from a post by Hive account@bhattg I suppose. Why not try the new stuff, I thought? Besides, the curation incentive seemed nice. And now, I must say it was good to have come across the Hive tools in this project created by Hive account@sagarkothari88.

I've been able to use the hSnaps and hReplier tools. Since then, I've been using them for their respective purposes. Perhaps, I was supposed to select one as a favourite, but I feel they both serve distinct purposes, in which both are doing well. While I'm not much into microblogging, coming across hSnaps had me hooked, with no choice but to become a fan of microblogging. Then there's hReplier, giving me a new experience when it came to viewing and replying to comments on my posts or snaps.

About hSnaps, I like this tool’s interface. It's not something loud or rowdy, but it feels okay for the simple work of microblogging. Interface matters when it comes to apps or tools, especially on a blockchain like this. It also brings together all the microblogging tools on the blockchain in one place－snaps, waves, threads. It allows me to select what medium I wish to share my short content and it goes through instantaneously, in this simple way. It's also just easy to use. No complications or confusion.

With hReplier, this tool makes replying easy and simple for me. I have ‘replies’ in one place, and ‘mentions’ in one place, all on the interface. I just need to tap on them. That makes it more interesting for me since I have them separated, for clear, quick and easy interaction. This tool makes it easy to track each reply, either on my posts or my comments. It's a wonderful tool and a game-changer. I can't fail to mention the interface. Like with hSnaps, it's simple and easy to use, no complexities or complications. I'll be using it for a long time I consider.

Moreso, the curations and upvotes that come from using these tools are amazing. I don't think I've seen something like this on Hive. But this is here, and it's a great one from Hive account@sagarkothari88. I'm also grateful and pleased to be part of the curators in this project.
