Greetings, community!
Since the beginning of Proyecto Aliento, one of our dreams has been to create useful tools and applications for Hive. For a long time, we were limited by time, resources, knowledge, and even the available technology.
Today, things look very different.
We have more experience, technology has advanced tremendously, we understand the Hive blockchain much better, and we now have access to modern tools that make app development far more accessible. The rise of AI agents and platforms like Replit, Vercel, OpenAI, Claude, and a very special tool called Warp has allowed us to move faster and with better results. Even a basic-to-intermediate level of development has helped us reduce mistakes, save time, and optimize resources.
With that in mind, we want to share two tools we've been working on recently. Some of you may have seen earlier versions posted by @eddiespino, but during the last week we've made significant improvements—so we believe you will find them more useful than ever.
Upvote Value Calculator
There used to be an upvote calculator on Hive, but it disappeared. So we decided to build our own—simple, clear, and with several improvements.
It helps estimate the approximate value of votes for curators and content consumers.
Witness Dashboard / Stats Site
This project originally started as a dashboard for our witness node, but it has slowly evolved. Our goal is to turn it into a complete statistics page and potentially a lightweight block explorer.
We've added multiple new functions to both the witness section and the general stats page, making it more useful for the broader Hive community.
Upcoming Project: Aliento Pay
This is a much larger and more complex project.
The first version was created by @enrique89, and @eddiespino has been improving the visuals and part of the logic. However, it is ambitious and requires several additional components.
The main purpose of Aliento Pay is to manage and distribute curation rewards to our delegators.
But we want to go further:
- Users will be able to log in using Hive Keychain
- Each delegator will be able to choose how they want to receive their rewards:
- Liquid HIVE
- HBD
- Hive Power (vests)
- Or choose to donate their rewards
- A clean, transparent dashboard to track all rewards and distributions
- Backend logic and a reliable database to store user preferences and payout settings
All of this takes time, but progress is steady.
If you would like to see a preview of Aliento Pay, along with a deeper walk-through of the other tools, just let us know—we can prepare a full video explaining everything.
We invite you to test the tools and give us feedback. And expect bugs, there will be many. We still need to thoroughly test everything so we can identify and fix each one of them.
Of course, everything is open source, and you can find the repositories here:
Saludos a todo el equipo de aliento y toda la comunidad!
Me parecen grandiosas las herramientas que han estado desarrollando y también como mejoras de anteriores y lo mejor de todo es que la segunda pueda funcionar en algún momento como una página de estadísticas pura, mucha información para ver y para analizar porque de esa manera hasta podría analizar mi propio avance y ver donde mejorar.
El tema de que cada usuario pueda elegir como recibir las recompensas es algo que también es grandioso, cada quien de acuerdo a preferencia o necesidad puede decidir.
Muchas gracias Aliento, probé ambas herramientas y no tuve ningún problema o error. Gracias!!!💗💞
Muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de probárlas. Yo personalmente, estoy muy emocionado con el avance de estas herramientas, aún no funcionan al 100%, pero vamos poco a poco. A ver si la siguiente semana podemos terminar la landing page de Aliento.
¡Saludos!
Salvando las distancias en algún momento hace muchos años quise aprender programación PHP y fue un dolor de cabeza, me resultaba super difícil y sé que la programación lleva su tiempo y trabajo, por lo que es muy valorable lo que has hecho. A seguir adelante!!
Thanks for the update. Aliento Pay sounds cool - it would be nice to choose how we receive our delegation rewards across the whole range of projects to which we can delegate.

!ALIVE
Actually, that is one of the ideas, too. To have a dashboard where projects can offer different returns for the delegations. Or projects could fork the tool and make their own version.
Excelente que esten avanzando y perfeccionando estas herramientas, requiere de mucha paciencia, prueba y error, es asi como se logran grandes cosas y estoy segura de que estas aplicaciones seran enormes 🙌 yo sigo jugando con la calculadora y soñando con un Hive en 3 dolares jaja 😂 ya las probe y por el momento no me dieron ningun error, aunque me gustaria ver ese video con mas detalles, para comprenderlo mejor, yo se tanto de programacion como Buhito de bondad jajajaja 😂
Me gusta el rumbo que le quieren dar a Aliento Pay y seguramente lograran que todo funcione muy bien ❤️
Saludos y muchas gracias por estas herramientas 😍🦉

STOPThese are worth for giving a shot...looking forward to test
I'm eagerly awaiting the updates, thanks for what you're doing for Hive, man.
Great job, @aliento team. Hope you continue helping many more users than you already do.
I'm going to start making a delegation to this project.
