We did a thing 7 days ago...
Veews
We think (and hope) it adds a ton of value to Hive.
Part of the game plan for this platform is to get feedback on what is needed and how it can improve over time.
We're trying to get the 'Hive mind' engaged with the project and over the past 7 days we've added a lot of your suggestions on how to improve...
One of the suggestions we got a lot over the past week was to allow member of Veews to 'open posts' in their preferred front end. Of course, we did that right away, and now in your 'settings' you can choose your preferred front end.
And this is why....
Sure, you can make comments (and we encourage you to do so) right in Veews, but at the end of the day, this platform is for....Content consuming by way of...Discovering :)
That's a mouthful huh?
I can't remember who stated this but a few years ago a member of Hive once made a blog post that stated Hive doesn't have a creating problem, there's plenty of creative people here. What we lack, is content consumers.
I understand the argument but I'll always say we need both equally :)
Bringing it back though, Veews was never meant to be a front end where you would...Create.
It was and will be a front end that you 'consume' content. And with the improvement learning engine we've been working on today, we hope the consuming of content is something you truly enjoy on the blockchain.
Heck I'm writing this on @peakd because I have always enjoyed their editor, but I also use @leofinance to create as well.
But finding content on these platforms, unless it's your friends list or trending topics has been limited. And that's just the way a blogging platform should be. I don't think it needs to focus on content discovery because what it does, and does very well, is allow members to CREATE!
I guess that's my big vision here with Veews.
Let the front ends do what they do amazingly well, and let Veews be your door to content you never would have known existed on chain.
And that vision, from my own experience over the past 7 days, has led to some amazing experiences. I've seen some great content. Followed some amazing creators. Made a LOT more ocmments. And given out even more upvotes.
That's Veews!
I hope you guys enjoy it and use it for what it's truly potential will be for the years to come...
Content consuming via discovery done right on Hive :)

I'm looking forward to seeing how you are going to add tokenomics to veews. I was thinking about how I would do it lol
It'll be fun :)
But the biggest thing for us right now, is getting an app that does exactly what it's designed to do!

unfortunately I have been traveling since the launch of Veews and have not yet explored it, but already in the abstract appreciate so much the spirit behind it and hope it contributes to the growth and health of Hive in the way you intend. I seen lots of posts about it, so I suspect it is already having a positive impact. Looking forward to getting back home and finding awesome new content!

Looking forward to you testing and trying it out. So far, it's been well received :)

Does the AI simply use the tags to filter the content or does it actually parse the posts too? I feel like sometimes the tags can be too generic and people often misuse them. I still have a lot more digging into Veews, but that is one of things I noticed that got me thinking.
Tags are just the beginning of the machine learning, we're taking everything into account slowly, title, content etc.

For some reason I feel the thread like usage fits in Veews. I think consuming and creating small stuff would be some sort of the direction that can be good for veews. Either way whatever you choose to do in veews would be worth checking as you and blaine knows what you do :)
Spend your time creating content not consuming it Business 101.
I spend about 90% of my time creating and 10% consuming just to see what's going on and to locate trends etc. Awesome job on continued development and can't wait to see what's in store for the platform next.

For sure, I'm blown away at how quickly Blain has been able to get people's suggestions implemented. Lots more coming this week too!

I haven't yet had a chance to explore Veews, but I am one of the ones from the "camp" that believes in the importance of easy content discovery as a way to help Hive grow... and it definitely has been a bit tricky to extend much beyond our following list. Communities might have helped, but the truth is that many people (not ALL!) are pretty indiscriminate in terms of where they post their content... in terms of relevance.
=^..^=
Yeah, we hope to keep it as simple as possible. With the end goal of always delivering content you actually enjoy :)
That's the mission lol

I am hearing about veews lately. I haven’t used it yet but I think I will try it out soon.
The vision of reaching the unseen content is remarkable. It's the truth that when we have a friend list and following we hardly go to search new creators missing out a lot of good content. Veews with ypur vision would solve the problem
For sure, the majority of the content on Hive gets buried, so this will allow content from everyone to get seen and engaged with!

It's gona be a new experience 👍
It is a very interesting application that is only beginning, I am sure it will improve a lot. It is true that Hive lacks consumers and also advertising in small amounts.
Already in 7 days, it's a completely different program than when we launched :)
Always trying to get better.

I gave it a try for a few minutes over the weekend but I didn't have that much time. I do think it's nice but the start of the process was a bit rough because some things didn't work until I refreshed the page. It works fine now but I didn't go through enough posts to see how effective it is.

The beauty of beta, we're ironing the bugs out. But the more people that use it, the better we can improve.
