Hello Everyone,
I know I've had a few requests for this, from @definethedollar, @gerber and a few others, so now it is finally here, Hive Engine Tools.
What took you so long?
I finished college at the end of June, but leading up to this there was a lot of deadlines (from Hive's launch onwards), so I hadn't really been able to make any tools during this time (except the big one I made for my college's Graded Project (but I can't release it yet until they plagarism check the code [or mine will be online :/]) So that's why this took me so long to port. This also wasn't a straight port, in fact, the exact port with just the API changed from STEEM Engine to HIVE Engine has been around for a while, as it took me a couple of minuites, but I felt that HIVE deserved better and just re-releasing the same code isn't what you all deserve. So since the end of College, I've been working on all these tools for HIVE.
So what's so special about "NEW" Hive-Engine Tools?
New Hive Engine tools is written in JavaScript, and doesn't rely on old-fashioned page refreshes. Due to this, I've been able to spruce up a few of the previous features:
- Loading is now much faster, as there are no reloads and filtering doesn't require a reload of the page.
- There is no longer a 1000-record limit when viewing the data, as it is all loaded as you load the page and then filtered in your browser with the original kept, so that you can go back to it at any time and re-filter it without having to load all that data again.
- You hate giving me money? 😅😂🤑 You can now hide the Donate banner (which is also much thinner).
What's the cost of the new-fangled version?
It's currently missing some of the features that the old version had, but I hope to re-implement them in the future. I feel no need to give out the crappier tools version for Hive, because it's so painfully slow that it's not really much use.
Eww... That Privacy Policy
Because I don't speak Legaleese, I just templated it, but you want to know what data we really use?
Local Storage - Local Storage/Session Storage/Cookies are used to save the fact that you dismissed the donation dialogue and the time until you see it again, and are only seen within your browser, never sent to the server.
Logging - My hosting service takes Logs of the following:
- User Agent
- Page Visited
- Time of Visit
- Size of request
- Reffering URL
- User Agent
Analytics - Privacy preserving analytics added, read more in the update post
But of course, Legaleese applies, this doesn't :(
Have a look around:
I see no search bar?
Correct, all the filtering is within the table.
Features:
- Search All Fields
- Download as CSV
- Show/Hide Columns
- Sorting
- Reload Data Button
Enjoy
I hope you like it, go and try it out:

Note: I've been told by some people that first load can be a bit painful (especially on slower connections), but after that it should be plain sailing.
Thank you, and enjoy. CADawgP.S. Thanks to @gerber & @definethedollar for poking me to make this.
