Context
I have been involved (voluntarily) with the development of the Condenser & Wallet apps (that are powering https://hive.blog and https://wallet.hive.blog) for quite a while now. There are other great frontends to Hive out there such as https://peakd.com and https://ecency.com but I have always been more or less faithful with the Condenser.
This is a regular report on my new contributions. Some of the new work below might still be in test and not yet deployed.
Bug fix: long timeout when accessing non-existing user profile
@mahdiyari has raised this issue. There was a little flaw in the user profile loading logic. Even when the user is non-existing, the Condenser was still calling the API to see how much HP the user has. I took the opportunity for also adding some checks and not fetching cross-posts unnecessarily.

Bug fix: allow dot in username for 3speak URLs
@eddiespino from @threespeak noticed that some URLs to their videos were not working with the Condenser. They have found out that it's due to the fact that the username of the video's author has a dot in it. I've updated the regex that extract metadata from the URL to allow the dot.

Allow table cell alignment markdown styles
@arcange has noticed that the Condenser's post editor didn't allow cell alignment using Markdown. Markdown specs allows the following syntaxes:
-:
for right align:-
for left align:-:
for center align
The issue was the HTML Sanitiser was configured to only allow right alignment. After amending the config it's now working nicely as seen below. Once the fix is deployed, the following code should render properly:
|Period|Power Up|Powerdown|Difference|
|-|:-|:-:|-:|
|2021-09|517,927.000|172,661.000|-345,266.000|
|2021-08|3,144,598.000|3,212,814.000|68,216.000|
|2021-07|3,415,366.000|5,186,384.000|1,771,018.000|
Fix unwanted redirection
@ausbitbank pointed us to a flaw that a person with bad intentions could use to redirect someone to another website while the URL looks like a genuine Hive.Blog URL.

Updating the Condenser code to React v16
@sschiessl has made a big effort in doing this major work. Everything seemed to be working properly except for the Visual Editor which didn't work server side. I finally got a bit of time to look into it and managed to get it working and fixed couple bugs thanks to @mahdiyari who did some tests.

Great updates! I'm happy to read updates on the condenser.
Even though there are very good frontends, new users land on hive.blog first and you need to offer them a good product!
Yes, that's the reason why I continue working on it. I want the new users to have some decent experience until they learn about other choices and can select their favourite.
can we add hive engine tokens especially swap.BTC and swap.ETha nd swap.DOGE direct to wallet CONDENSOR PLEASE?
Muchímas gracias por compartir esta información tan importante. He traido a muchos usiarios a la plataforma desde hace más de un año, así que ea bueno que ellos sepan estas estrategias para wue sus publicaciones tengan mejor presentación. Saludos con cariño amigo.
Thanks for the update. I noticed something when I was delegating my HP. I delegated my HP but instead of delegating to who I delegated to, my HP was showing something like I had undelegated it showed me 5 days to undelegate. That day felt like a mystery to me. Waited for the 5 days and got the HP undelegated. But I still don’t understand what happened. Any explanation? I was so show I didn’t undelegate because I tried it again and same thing happened
What tool are you using to make delegation?
@ecency
Try to do the same thing on Peakd or Hive.blog and see if you get the same results.
That day I was too confused to try it on other platforms. But 5 days later when the power returned, I delegated through peakd and it went through.
In that case you should bring it to Ecency team. Unless it now works on their platform
How do I do that please?
UI phrases are bit confusing, it overwrites previous delegation but usual confusion is it adds to previous delegations, we are improving it soon.
