I took the Wock' to Poland 🇵🇱🦅

I've been quiet for a while, but trust me - it was for a very good reason and I mean it: ✨ vacation ✨

Route

so of course I meant "ride through Poland", but was inspired by this song 😉

We packed the family into a couple of Jeeps and set off on an off-road adventure along Poland's eastern border. Two whole weeks out in the wild, camping under the stars 🏕️

Honestly, the views out here were absolutely breathtaking! But see for yourself:

Mountain view

Tent view

Anyway, that's enough of the personal stuff - time to get down to business 🤝

Contrary to what it might look like - I didn't just spend the rest of my "offline time" chilling. I was actually working on some really exciting stuff 😎

Can't spill all the details just yet, but you will find out soon enough at Hive Fest! 🍻 Yeah, you read it right - we're heading out as the Hive account@thebeedevs crew (proudly represented at the side by Hive account@itsola + Hive account@small.minion + @me) to Kuala Lumpur to meet you face-to-face! 🎭

F2F

There is actually a lot going right now, so I'll try to summarize.

Step into the future, powered by innovation, imagination... and questionable life choices 🫠🤌

🏋🏼 More optimizations

If speeding up TypeScript wax by more than 8 times wasn't enough, Python wax just got an update, baby! Transaction processing is now 10x quicker!!! 🤏🏻

Don't worry tho - we're doing our best not to drop below the 0-second threshold 😇 (time travel rollout planned Q1 2026 😅)

📚 First actual Hive high-level documentation of a library on Hive

We (And by "we" I mean @me + Hive account@fwaszkiewicz + Hive account@small.minion) managed to create high-level documentation for Wax and WorkerBee - written in an accessible way, explaining all of the library features in details. I highly recommend you take a look - I promise, you won't regret it!

Wax high-level documentation - 💙 JS/TS + 🐍 Python
WorkerBee high-level documentation - 💙 JS/TS only (for now)

🌁 Auth Bridge updates

MUGA!@! - "Make UIs Great Again":

New Auth Bridge UI

Read this article about Hive Wallet Snap officially approved by the MetaMask 🦊 team and test it using Hive Bridge - Check it out for yourself!

🔐 New authorization option

Upon working on the WorkerBee documentation snippets I needed an easy way to authorize Hive users to verify who I am actually dealing with. So, I lowkey added a new feature to the Bridge, called dApp Authorize:

Auth Bridge - Authorize page

Telegram view - Authorization

You can test it right now as a developer - add this basic user identity confirmation feature to your app!

📠 More Hive components: Point of Sell

Hive Point of Sell component UI

I’m still working to make this fully standalone (no central server - everything based on info from the blockchain!), but at least Hive account@thedistriator integration is in place 📌 (shoutout to Hive account@starkerz and their dev team!)

🌐 Automatic API definitions

I wrote a small script (wax-spec-generator) to automatically generate API definitions for TypeScript wax from OpenAPI Swagger definitions (JSON-RPC/Rest). This gives full IntelliSense support and shows API documentation right in your IDE! It's all live, waiting for you to try:

Balance Tracker API package IntelliSense

🧾 How others doin' it?

Just so you know - I've started researching smart contracts, analyzing other blockchains and their tech, and learning Rust 🦀 and Solidity 👾. Might drop something on that soon...

Thebeedev, Hive account@mtyszczak out *drops mic*

I'll be back

Yeah... no AI images this time
