 --- A GOPHER-LIKE INTERFACE FOR HIVE BLOCKCHAIN ---

HIVE IS ALIVE on PEAKD.COM

BY: @peakd | CREATED: March 21, 2020, 10:14 p.m. | VOTES: 417 | PAYOUT: $230.94 | [ VOTE ]

PEAKD.COM IS STEEMPEAK.COM ON HIVE

https://peakd.com/

[IMAGE: https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/peakd/ND05Ozvb-image.png]

We spend 2 years developing the most feature rich interface on STEEM
Earlier this week we bought a URL
Started a new server
Ported over the code
Removed Steem references
Worked on adapting/enabling every single feature ... we have 58+
We launched yesterday less than hour after the hard fork
We got our witness up and running still using @steempeak account
We spend the last 36 hours cleaning up the place and it's looking good

THE REBRAND

[IMAGE: https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/peakd/PaY1APr0-image.png]

For over a year myself (@jarvie) and @asgarth have wanted to change the @steempeak site ... we would have done it even without the HIVE FORK. This just was a big push.

OUR FUTURE FOCUS: "On-boarding the masses"
We want to focus on making a site perfect for you AND full time content creators and all their millions of followers. We have more things to get done before we open the flood gates and do some marketing... but part of this was the name needed to be much easier than STEEMpeak. The steem was always confusing to new users. Also not being tied to a blockchain in name makes it easier to bring in features from other chains and decentralized sources. Still lots of work to make the site intuitive to new users. But this is a step.

LOGO DESIGN

Logo was designed by @jaynie she's really good at this folks... go talk to her.
We spent less than a day going back and forth with her options and what we liked and different variations
|||
|-|-|
|[IMAGE: https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/peakd/S4Y26PjH-image.png]|[IMAGE: https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/peakd/jz3ziX1u-image.png]|
She even played with some merch ideas.

POLLING - HOW PEAKD CAME TO BE

We did a decent amount of polling with our users and people who have never even heard of us. PeakSocial.com and PeakD.com were by far the most requested.

PeakSocial was the safe choice but not exciting and interesting and memorable enough in the end. It also lacks a few things PeakD has.
PeakD Was shorter, had better potential with branding, it seemed more unique and yet still had something cool going for it...

PeakD is a play on words in 3 ways

One of those is a tad controversial to some: "Peaked" ... but depends on how you see it. We believe that those who set a goal to reach a peak and then arrive are just the type of people we want. Because we think they're the ones to go in search of more peaks to aim for and arrive at. Go aim for a bigger peak... it's when you stop going for your goals you fail... it's not because you reach them.

THINGS TO KNOW

Things are settling down.
To be honest it's actually been smoother than I expected. Because we expected it to be hard.
Only 36 hours after a hard fork and only just a few days after buying the actual URL and things are running pretty good. However we still have some work to do and hills left to climb.
- IMAGES: There may be API or Image server issues for a little bit just be forwarned.
- API Know how to change API NODES until we can create perhaps an auto-switching system

[IMAGE: https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/peakd/yKfX2eml-image.png]

We have gotten almost all the features back online.

STEEMPEAK

Still running for now over on STEEM.
https://steempeak.com/
So far there is enough backend architecture to run.
However we're worried because they have a LOT of censorship things going on over at STEEMIT INC. (Posts, users being censored and heavy usage of 65 million tokens used by one person in downvoting)

But it's still up and you're able to do wallet features like power down and transfers if you're now planning on being on HIVE only.

You can read more about SteemPeak future here: https://steempeak.com/hive-175001/@steempeak/steempeak-after-fork

WE ARE HAPPY ON HIVE #HiveIsAlive

It is alive and it is thriving with users and developers.
Go follow the official account @hiveio
The infrastructure is already pretty great after just 1 day

DECENTRALIZATION
We feel there is more decentralization not only with governance and less threat of attack...
... but there seems to be a lot more decentralization of the direction of the platform.
For years Steemit INC almost solely directed the direction of the platform with their development
Now there are lots of users empowered to work on the Chain and there is a significant amount of funding at their disposal with the new Hive Fund. Which can and should apply to much more than backend development

WHAT'S NEXT?

As soon as things settle down we will start work on brand new features that will make your content creating and content exploring experience better than ever before.

These are the ones presently high on our radar
- New post promotion changes
- Onboarding via sponsorship system
- Guest commenting

Congratulations on the rebrand, on the new logo and everything. I think everyone here deserves a fresh start and most of us are doing just that - me included. I'm excited to be a part of the new HIVE ecosystem and can't wait for it to flourish :)

It's epic how much you guys accomplished in such short notice! Really epic. I've been using peakd.com 100% so far. Really epic. And damn, I had no idea @jaynie was such a gifted logo maker! I love it :D Cheers guys, and keep up the amazing work! Hive wouldn't be complete without the 'Steempeak for Hive' :-)

Absolutely, the interface looks stylish and is easy to understand. Also I like that you can chose between layouts for people to decide. So far I am just waiting in awe what will be next.

Always great to see you here @jarvie.

It is wonderful what you all have done in the past few days. This interface is a lifesaver since some of the other ones are having a tough time transitioning over.

Hive is going to be great because of the efforts of teams such as the one behind Peakd.

@deniskj | March 22, 2020, 12:05 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

The speed at which developments take place at Peak just surprise me every time. The devs need a raise.

Maybe after you are done fixing everything on this UI instance please consider adding an option(check or uncheck) to automatically 'post to blog' when you post in community.😊😊

Also @asgarth,shouldn't that be reading Hive? 😅😅

PeakD I believe is my frontend of choice for Hive!

Hi, your effords are very much appreciated! It is expected we find a few bumps in the road, given the sudden of the situation. Still, what you guys did was nothing short of amazing.

Now, I don't know if you have yet gotten time to check on these, but I'd like to report a few bugs I'm aware of. I did report these on the discord server, but whether or not someone got to see it, I wouldn't know so better safe than sorry.

First: it is impossible, at least for myself, scheduling post despite having provided posting authority to peakd on my profile settings. The button stays dark and unusable, so maybe that's one of the features yet to get back online?

Second: there's always an error message when trying to enable the portfolio view in the profile.

Third: drafts won't delete. I had an useless draft lying around, tried to delete it but it just... din't. Fortunately, got inspiration for a post and used that draft, published it and got rid of it, but still...

That's everything I've consistently experienced, so far. These things aside, PeakD has been running very smoothly on my side. Great job, guys!

@andrepol | March 22, 2020, 1:44 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Great work! Really amazing!! One thing I noticed is a URL change peakd does, and you fall for it yourself here in this posting (see status bar in pic). Everything steempeak.com, steemit.com and busy.org is changed into peakd.com, so links are only working through copy/paste by now. Chain on!

First of all I will like to say a big thank you to every member of the Peakd team for working so hard to see the success coming through so fast. I have used Peakd and it worked well , those pretty interface are very amazing, the multiple pictures are so faster than I can think of and as well as the security guard pin is very active. You guys did a great job and intellectual work. Truly Hive is Alive, and I am here too.

I published an article about DTube being fully compatible with Hive a few hours ago. A few minutes later I noticed @dtube being added to @spaminator black list no absolutely no reason. I believe @spaminator is somehow controlled by @themarkymark with his Global Blacklist API (funded by the DAO).

https://i.imgur.com/6vzXu6M.png

After complaining, the unfair blacklist for the @dtube account was removed. I was told it was an accident.

But now, 1 hour later:

It would be deeply appreciated if you would rectify this situation.
You have been using the keys just fine up until today and now someone on your team is censoring my account?
I thought Hive was trying to promote itself as having the moral high ground?

No, due to some internal changes it's required to setup peaklock accounts again. So just logout and login should od the trick.
