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.
Notes: some features or bug fixes might not yet be available as they need to pass review and test by the team.
HiveAuth fixes
Real life usage of the new HiveAuth feature has revealed few bugs which were quickly handled:
- use the Condenser internal challenge string when authenticating with HiveAuth, this allows setting a session variable which is then used by the night mode toggling feature. This fixes the bug where night mode toggling is being reset when a user reloads the page after the toggle
- fix to the bug where the Condenser keeps asking to login when the HiveAuth token has expired.

Night mode styling for GIST embeds
The Condenser supports embedding GIST URL but the default CSS does not play well with night mode. This fix adds a custom CSS to make GIST embeds display nicer in night mode.

Uploading images when using HiveAuth
I'm currently working with @arcange and @stoodkev on fixing a bug where users can't upload images to the Condenser when logged-in with HiveAuth. By default, uploading an image to the Hive Image Hoster requires the dApp to sign the image file content using the posting private key. However, this means transmitting the whole file to HiveAuth server then to Keychain app on the mobile phone and back. This is using too much network traffic. So I'm modifying the logic to also allow signing the image integrity checksum.
