VP site

  • A lot of refactoring in the frontend as follows:
    i) Component Decomposition – Split large React components into smaller, single-responsibility units to improve reusability (Single Responsibility Principle).
    ii) Reusable Hooks – Extracted logic into custom hooks to reduce duplication and enhance consistency across the codebase (Open/Closed Principle).
    iii) Prop & Interface Refinement – Refined props and TypeScript interfaces for better clarity and strong typing (Interface Segregation).

More refactoring is needed to reduce tech debt, allowing more features to be added as required.

What is Swarm of Swarms?

This is a new series of blogs where we will share updates from the Hive development community. The content consists of meeting notes from a virtual developer meeting, titled 'Swarm of Swarms,' which adheres to the Bee Hive theme. We have been doing this for around 30 weeks, without posting the content on-chain or elsewhere. As we broadcast more widely, I hope everyone can gain greater visibility into all the Hive project development.

The Swarm of Swarms is a virtual gathering where blockchain developers building on the Hive network converge to share project updates, insights, and knowledge. This decentralized meet-up brings together a collective of innovators and visionaries from the Hive ecosystem, specifically those developing applications and use cases on the blockchain. As participants join the Swarm, they are exposed to ideas, solutions, and experiences, allowing them to expand their professional networks and gain a deeper understanding of the rapidly evolving Hive ecosystem. Through this virtual convergence, the Swarm of Swarms aims to cultivate a culture of open communication, mutual support, and collective growth among its members.

I send weekly reminders to the participating development teams, encouraging them to share their progress in the Mattermost 'Swarm of Swarms' channel. Other developers can visit this channel to learn about the projects other teams are working on. The hope is that open communication will inspire more side conversations and collaborations. 👏 I appreciate the development team leaders who take a few minutes each week to share their latest achievements. There is room for more participation, and the coffee is free.


Please let me know how I can improve it, and forgive any mistakes. We will iterate!
