Recap of the fundraiser blog
A couple of days ago I started a post that read:
Hive needs better feeds! Let’s build a custom Curation tool! (fundraiser)
If I say so myself it is an interesting read which received quite a lot of positive reactions in the comments. But for those who don't want to read the entire blog, I'll sum it up:
- I think the current Hive feeds aren't very good.
- I had the idea for a tool with which you can customize a feed
- The tool should be able to filter (either in- and/or exclude) blogs based on several variables
- I contacted @ecoinstant to see if he liked the idea too
- We decided to do a fundraiser to see if more people would think such a tool is worth money
- I created a blog for the fundraiser
I would really advise you to read the first posts, but this is a small recap.

A slight change
As I mentioned before, there were quite a lot of comments on the first blog. It's really good to see that this is a subject that lives among more Hivers.
Where I began the idea of having a curation tool, a couple of people commented that the problem is more than curating alone (@quark.top, @steevc). It's content discovery that is a problem. And yes, this is a problem when you are curating, but also when you are looking for content to consume or interact with.
The tool does still work the same for both goals, but that is why I made a slight adjustment in the title and the banner.

Feedback
I've received a lot of feedback on the first blog. Thank you all for that.
Some of the things that were metioned were integration in front-ends, hosting of the website, making it a HAF app etc.
I've passed some technical questions on to @ecoinstant which was traveling in the past days, so didn't have a lot of time to react to them, but he will surely look into it.
There was also a comment from @por500bolos who shared some screenshot of a former tool that seems to have done the same. We'll have to see if there is still code available of that tool.

Donations
We've received quite a few donations on the last fundraiser blog already. Thank you all for your generous gifts:
@quark.top, @meno, @detlev, @ph1102, @ifarmgirl-leo, @oldmans, @v-36, @ladyaryastark, @palomap and shanibeer
We've collected a total of $37.62 in donations. That makes we have reached 1/3 of the targeted $100 to get @ecoinstant to start building.

We are not there yet, but the first funds have been transferred to @ecoinstant

Donate!
Let's make some more fuzz about this project. There must be more Hivers that like this idea and would like to contribute 1 or a couple more dollars to get this project started.
For those who want I have created a link to the TipJar tool. It's default configured with $1, but you can adjust the amount. It works with a Hive Keychain signing method.
https://thecrazygm.com//hivetools/give/friendlymoose/1/HBD/HiveCurationTool
I've also created some Hivesigner links:
1 HBD
3 HBD
5 HBD
7.5 HBD
10 HBD
Besides that you can also send a tip via PeakD in HBD or Hive.
We appreciate all donations! Let's work together to achieve the goal of $100 to start off the building of this tool.

What's next?
Althoug we haven't worked out an entire plan yet. We first wanted to see if more people would be interested in such a tool. But by the comments and donations on after the first blog, we may conclude that there is an interest. Although we still need 2/3 of the $100 we wanted to raise to get the project started, we have the idea to start out with a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) which should draw some more attention to this project.

> Gracias. Lo que no puedo descifrar es por que ud
> 1. No da clic al friend request
Primero, porque yo no acepto solicitudes de amistad de todo el mundo. Las acepto única y exclusivamente de gente en la cual confío plenamente.
Y segundo... ah, porque estoy seguro de que no querrás saber la segunda razón por la que no hago click en friend requests de cualquiera al azar.
> 2-. Pero escribe aca tanto tanto
Lo hago, porque me encanta instruir y enseñar a los tozudos como tu de lo que no saben hasta que aprendan.
> 3-. Trata de enseñarme discord como si fuera ud mi maestro
Ni soy maestro tuyo ni de nadie si los tercos alumnos y obstinados discípulos no quieren ni tienen la humildad ni voluntad de querer aprender.
> 4-. Ahora perdio de completo la linea conversatoria para.... Que? Joder?
Yo nunca pierdo la línea conversatoria. Si no entiendes ni comprendes lo que digo, simplemente lee de nuevo lo que he dicho tantas veces como te sea necesario hasta que lo entiendas y comprendas.
> Bueno, quedamos en empasse.
De acuerdo, puedes denominar el resultado del intercambio como te plazca.
> Yo no permito que gente no "amiga" dm conmigo.
Ese es solo tu problema. Tu eres aquí el único interesado en que comparta contigo la información que ambicionas tener sin querer seguir el procedimiento que te he explicado y mostrado gráfica y claramente para que puedas hacerlo. Pero luego no digas ni insinúes que a menos que uno acepte una solicitud de amistad en Discord, no es posible enviar un DM a quien te salga del forro de las bolas.
> Ud exige revelar "sus secretos" en privado. Pero cree que yo soy un rando.
Ciertamente cada quien tiene sus reglas para revelar "secretos" y no soy yo precisamente el interesado en obtener los secretos de nadie.
Y en cuanto a que seas un rando. Simplemente usa los dedos de tus manos para que enumeres las veces que has interactuado conmigo a lo largo de nueve años y tengas así una más cercana idea de que tan rando puedes ser para mi.
> Ud vino aca a mostrarnos algo.
Exacto, mostrarles algo fue precisamente lo que hice.
> La unica persona relevante de este post que puede validar codigo soy yo.
Eso podría o no ser cierto. Pero no vas a poder hacerlo como a ti te de la gana. Y solo para que te quede bien claro. Yo no tengo ningún interés ni necesidad de que nadie valide un coño. Yo perfectamente bien podría por mi cuenta editar el código y publicar online el website completo con todas las funciones que ya has visto y un coñazo más en las que estoy particularmente interesado. Pero ni hubo ni hay incentivo para hacerlo. Y cada día es menor mi deseo, interés y voluntad en hacerlo.
> Yo no "quiero" hablar con ud. Ha dañado mi mañana, seguro lo superaré el resentimiento en algunos dias.
Seh, tómate tu tiempo, descansa y reflexiona. Que aunque al cabo de unos días aún no hayas entendido ni comprendido un coño de lo que te he dicho y explicado. Supongo que al menos habrás superado el resentimiento y se te habrá aliviado un poco el malestar que tu mismo te has auto inflingido sin necesidad.
> Si ud no "quiere" hablar conmigo, dando un clic, que es facil deshacer despues; no hay nada mas que hablar.
No hay ningún click que dar en ninguna parte. Mis instrucciones han sido claras y precisas. No soy yo el que quiere hablar contigo. Eres tu el que quiere hacerlo conmigo.
> Hagame un favor y nunca mas me habla en la vida, listo?
Te dejaré de hablar solo si me juras que ya no te encanto más. https://goonfleet.com/public/style_emoticons/default/gf-komolov.gif

Nice to see this follow-up post, @friendlymoose, and this modification:
> "It's content discovery that is a problem. And yes, this is a problem when you are curating, but also when you are looking for content to consume or interact with."
I am biased, as I suppose we all are, in one way or another, but I like the change you have made. For those newly arriving and choosing to actively participate on this blockchain, I do not know what consensus might be reached on whether there is a greater barrier to overcome than this one.
It is perfectly understandable that not everyone is going to be all that excited about everything any of us write. It is quite a different matter to even have the opportunity to make that determination, if there is no awareness that content exists.
Since your last post, with the little bit of time I could devote to it, I took a look at what my favorite UI, PeakD, could do right now. This is what I found:
Source: Sorting option on PeakD's UI
Others likely already know about this, perhaps, but it was new to me. Although currently grayed out, it appears to at least be something that dev team is working on, for a future release?
As a synergy building project, maybe @ecoinstant and his dev team can work together, with the PeakD dev team? I say that, not having any idea what the competition is between different dev teams behind the various UI options a Hivian has from which to choose. 🤷♂️
Thank you for this update on your great initiative! 🤝
