Hello my fellow Snaperinos,
I’m coming to you with some awesome news. I don’t want anyone thinking we’re taking a break. Maybe we should—but that’s a whole different story.
This week we rolled out some cool new features and squashed a bunch of bugs pretty dead in preparation for store resubmissions. Now, we need our awesome community to do what you do best: help us make sure we’re looking sharp for the portrait.
You Can Now Report Snaps
This feature was necessary for our Store app submissions, but I also believe it’ll come in handy to keep the Hive Snaps experience clean for newcomers.
In this release, you’ll notice that Snaps now have three little dots in the top-right corner. From this menu, you can report a Snap you think might get us into trouble.
It’s important to make absolutely clear: we won’t be hiding posts for just any reason. Although anyone can report a Snap, we’ll only take action when it’s something that could genuinely put our app at risk.
And just to be clear—at the blockchain level, nothing happens to these “ghosted” Snaps. They simply won’t display in our front end. That’s it.
Snapie Badge for the Cool Kids
In this version of the app, you’ll notice some people rocking a little badge. This badge shows they made their Snap using Hive Snaps—and not any other front end.
We think gamifying adoption matters. Small features like this can help newcomers feel a sense of belonging.
Web2 / Web3 Media Integration
Right now, Hive Snaps (aka Snapie) can embed and render quite a few media formats. It supports IPFS, MP3, 3Speak, YouTube, Twitter, and—brand new in this release—Instagram.
Our goal is to make Hive Snaps a soft landing spot for anyone coming from Web2, while also providing a hub for social integration. Let’s be real: sharing videos and memes is how people connect today.
🐛 Bug Fixes
We did a lot of code cleanup this week and squashed plenty of little bugs. That said, it feels only fair to give a special shoutout to @eddiespino for catching a really big one for us this morning in our moderation reports.
