🔥 What's Buzzing, Hive?
Hey Hive legends! 🙋♂️🐝
Time for your dose of dev chaos—this update is about wild bugs, panicked debugging, meme-worthy moments, and finally… victorious fixes!
🐞 The Curious Case of Vanishing Uploads
Yesterday, we went live with CheckInWithXYZ. Huzzah! And then... the bug reports rolled in.
Special thanks to @starkerz for bravely testing and finding a showstopper: Photo uploads weren’t working at all!
🔍 My Investigation Begins
Tested it myself with Hive Keychain—no dice! 🛑
Ran the app locally... and voilà, images uploaded just fine. Wait, what?!
Why does it work on my machine but not in the wild? 😕 Time to break out some real-world testing: Hive Keychain's in-app browser on a mobile device!
💡 The Debugging Dilemma
- Can’t use localhost in Hive Keychain mobile in-app browser 🚫
- Safari’s no help—port numbers not allowed!
- Desktop’s fine, but real users = real bugs = real devices!
- Taking mobile photos = huge image sizes.
- Image resizing was coded, but can’t push changes blind. Must test on device!
🥁 Enter... ngrok!
Not the wrestler, silly—ngrok lets you tunnel localhost over the internet.
Seen backend devs flex this tool—my turn to join the cool club!
- Signed up, setup was super simple.
- Installed ngrok, updated config.
- Enabled port-forwarding to 5173 (ReactJS debug port).
Screenshot proof:
😤 ReactJS Throws a Tantrum
Oops! Tunneling in, but ReactJS app says “No!”—blocked request!
Turns out, just needed to update vite.config.js. Thank you, Google!

📱 Finally: Real Device Testing!
Fired up the app on the phone using ngrok—finally able to reproduce the bug as @starkerz saw it.
🎯 Bugs Spotted & Squashed
🐉 Bug 1: Drag & Drop (And Other Mischief!)
App allowed all sorts of upload shenanigans (drag & drop, file picker, gallery)!
- Disabled drag & drop uploads.
- Disabled gallery file picker.
- App now ONLY opens the front-facing camera! 📸
📏 Bug 2: Resize Image Before Upload
Big phone photos = huge image files = server says “Nope!” (max 1.5MB).
- Added client-side resizing before upload.
- Real device test: Pass! 🎉
🚀 Deploy, Merge, Celebrate!
- Committed & pushed fixes (on a fresh branch—always!).
- Pulled out the magnifying glass one last time, reviewed code, merged to main.
- Deployed new build.
- Let @starkerz know—mission accomplished!
Sunday: eaten by bugs, saved by memes. Who needs weekends anyway? 😂
