Every user on the blockchain has a voice and we use it in conveying information to all content creators on the Hive through publishing posts. With the means of suitable hashtags and relevant communities, the message could reach significant recipients.
Unlike these web 2.0 applications like Facebook, Instagram, and so forth; we have the review and feedback section underneath the application where users can express their experiences, suggestions, and outbursts. For instance, app stores, Play Store, and other marketplaces are great places to provide a summary of one’s updates, highlight the key features or benefits, and encourage users.
These complaints are taken into consideration and changes might be guaranteed to take effect sooner.
Now in Hive, we do not have an application and the only way users of this platform can relay their suggestions is mainly through publishing posts.
Don’t get me wrong, the Hive ecosystem is global, the Hive ecosystem is the new Web 3.0, the Hive blockchain is the New Digital World, Hive is loved, Hive network is changing lives but we need amplified features to keep this decentralized platform functionality advanced. Sometimes, users prefer to always go back to the likes of Facebook and co despite creating an account here on the Hive blockchain and being here for a while.
I believe that one of those reasons might be difficulty in navigating the platform. Hive is quite complicated for new users, especially the onboarding aspect, but this has been very easy thanks to Neoxian, Ecency, and Inleo User Interfaces.
We have an ecosystem that is reliable, user-friendly, and scalable but much smarter with amazing features that enable quick and smooth access to activity within the platform. These elements not only define the identity of this platform but also shape its future trajectory.
AS A USER, WHAT ARE THE UPGRADES I WOULD LOVE TO SEE LIVE ON THE HIVE BLOCKCHAIN?
As a user, the upgrade that I would propose to come into effect is Frontend Switch feature; In every frontend, there is a software developer that ensures that the visual and interactive aspects of the website are user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and functionally efficient. Every frontend on Hive Blockchain has its unique features and it's quite complex to open different tabs on the devices just to gratify the utilization process according to the needs of such users at that particular time.
It is so tiring frankly speaking and I would be so happy if the Hive blockchain team of developers puts this into consideration. This would enable even new users to swiftly access these frontends without having the onboarder to keep teaching the newbie constantly about what Peakd is, what Ecency is and so forth. Save time and save stress.
If you have a Facebook profile and a Facebook business page you would understand perfectly how easy it is to switch between pages and profile just by soft click and hold for a few seconds. This highlighted feature should be applied to this platform and it would be super easy for users.
As a user, another upgrade that I would propose to come into effect is Chat icon; Fostering an inclusive collaborative workplace where users of the platform can celebrate diversity and encourage open communication. This would promote teamwork and mutual respect among its users to create a supportive environment that fuels innovation.
I know there is a home for users of the blockchain which is called “Discord”, although this is a good medium to pass information, get acquainted with other users, and engage genuinely but I want the chat functionality to be embedded directly on the website itself and in that way every frontend would wear that icon automatically.
This would allow a rapid and stress-free way of communicating with a user, the process of passing information through Discord is somewhat complicated but if the message is passed through the Hive chat at first then the conversation can be moved later on to Discord or any other means to communicate. I remember vividly when this Bee chat was live and I was so happy but unfortunately, it went void again.
