Web2 people are used to apps
And each app has it’s purpose
We want to onboard more web2 users
But new web2 users can be overwhelmed by too many things in one single app
Believe me, even after keeping apps separate, people find it difficult to use apps which are segregated by specific purpose
So, we are building apps even nany can use - that’s the goal.
You keep sharing feedback
We have our eyes & ears open for feedback & improvements
Well, as a former Web2 user, I understand what you mean. But now a single Web2 application can serve many purposes at once. Let's just say they've managed to put everything together in a visually appealing and easy-to-use way. Why doesn't it do the same in Hive? 🤔
I guess we already have that with well funded apps like ecency & peakd, don’t we?
We’ll get there as soon as we are sone with segregated apps
Easy to recommend
Difficult to build things on your own, by bleeding out your time, money, energy without getting any funding
Actually, yes, it has already been done. However, the only thing that Ecency or PeakD lacks is the user experience itself. Lots of development, lots of new features, but no basic tutorial for each installation or for each new user who registers at the beginning.
You know, that helps a lot of inexperienced Web2 users when using a popular social network. There's no need to remove anything; segregation causes division, or at least that's my opinion. All that's needed is accurate information at the right time, good use of the guides, and greater ease of use for the average user. A single app that lets you log in, share, check your notifications, take photos, videos, view notifications, take polls, etc.
Personally, I really admire what both Ecency and PeakD have achieved lately; it's a shame that a large part of the funding goes to pure development and nothing to marketing, to be honest.
I greatly admire their work in creating applications for different uses, but as a user and content creator, I look more for convenience and what a platform/application can offer me. Money will always be one of the ultimate and most important goals, but that doesn't diminish the importance of user and creator comfort.
So far, I've loved everything about hSnap; I just wish I could manage more things there, like notifications, maybe. I know hReplies exists, I'm just wondering why not implement both things in a single app. 🤔
Yes. We are aware of this & we want to build youtube tutorials for the same.
It's one of our planned items. here is the screenshot for same.
We're planning that for later stage
We're not getting funded & we're promoting/marketing our apps with our hive-power.
Yes Yes, we are aware. At the same time, we have to acknowledge that, we are just team of 2 devs. Self-funded, Self-motivated. I am paying out of my pockets. To pay all the expenses & salaries, I have to do multiple jobs.
See here https://sagarkothari88.one/#/expenses - I am all transparent. We're bleeding. We lost all value in our investment & still we are doing our best. We'll bring notifications in hSnaps, give us some time.-----
First of all, I am very pleased to see how committed and transparent you are, unlike other developers who mostly ignore the opinions of their users. I also greatly admire that they are relying solely on their own funds to finance all of this, as this demonstrates that it is possible to achieve something great without needing a DHF of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And although it may be a considerable loss in the short term, if they remain steady and continue to develop over the next few months, they may receive some financial assistance in the near future, if they continue doing things right as they have been doing.
Now, regarding the tutorials and guides, I was thinking more of a guided welcome for newly registered users within an application where they can post, interact, etc. Something like "Welcome, we present hSnap and you can do the following...", and the app itself gives the user a kind of tour so they know how to use it. And well, I know they will manage to adapt and/or implement the rest over time.
Great job, keep it up!
Point noted. In-app-guide to get around for new users. I'll add that to my list.
