☀️Hive Open Days 2026 - Onboarding Badges 🪪

in HiveDevslast month

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


13 days left until Hive Open Days '26 kicks off in Alicante and I still can't quite believe it's actually happening. Four days of Hive, Web3, sunshine, and way too much good food, all starting April 30th at ULab Coworking Space.

One of the many things I've been chipping away at over the past months is the event badges. Each badge carries a QR code that does a few things at once: it onboards brand new users to Hive in a genuinely simple way, and it gives attendees everything they need on-site. They can find the full event timetable, a one-tap link to our local HOD Telegram group, and direct access to the @ecency Discord server. They will also be able to realtime-translate all of their conversations and the main stage talks with a simple link. That will be the topic of another video tho.


Oh, and this time I printed all the badges myself - saves us a solid chunk of funds and cuts out the waiting time on external print shops. Bonus: full control over quality and last-minute changes. The part I'm especially proud of is the onboarding flow itself. In this video, I'll walk you through how it works end-to-end, and once the event is wrapped, I promise to polish the whole thing up and release it open source on the mantequilla-soft github so anyone organizing a Hive meetup can use it. If you have any questions, drop them below — see you in Alicante! ☀️

That's so cool! (except for Los Pescadores in the schedule - ¡No me gustan! 😉)

Just a few questions:

  • Can the landing page detect the device and offer only Google Play / App Store downloads accordingly? It would look more professional.
  • Will the new accounts get some RC/HP delegations? They might have troubles interacting with the chain otherwise.
  • Can there be a Snapie registration option for those who prefer microblogging (perhaps in cooperation with @meno)?

Yeahhh, they will have some vegetarian option for us at Los Pescadores hahaha Alicante is not the best place for people who dont eat fish or other sea creatures lol

Thanks for the suggestions - 3 times "yes" except the "registration option". I will add a frontend link if you meant that, but I can not change the registration anymore tbh

Looking forward to meeting you again!

I mean I do eat fish, it's just people shouldn't ;)

Just two more weeks, dude! ;)

que buen dato lo del acceso directo al discord de ecency desde el qr , eso le da a los nuevos un lugar donde preguntar dudas de una vez . gran trabajo mano

what a good fact about the direct access to ecency discord from the qr , that gives newbies a place to ask questions right away . great job bro

Of course makes totally sense for a social media platform to direct traffic away and towards another medium 🙄

Thanks! Yeah, it makes it much, much easier for us too as our focus is onboarding and ecency to keep them engaged and answer newbee questions. Also, their tutorials are great too :)

Knowing all the fuss with the keys for newbies, the onboarding process looks fairly easy... I mean, easy as it could...

I promise to polish the whole thing up and release it open source on the mantequilla-soft github so anyone organizing a Hive meetup can use it.

That's great news as I do have over 3.5K account claiming tokens... Maybe I could use them all at the future meetup events? 😀

See you soon!

Yeah, sure you can definitely host it yourself easily :) But it will need a bit more polishing before I release it open source thehe

The level of planning is amazing, it's incredible

Thaaaanks yeah we do our best as far as volunteering can go :)

Thank you for increasing your support!

Delegations are very important for us as a non-profit curation initiative and so we are very happy to see that you have increased your support to us! You will now earn more curation rewards on a weekly basis.

Stay creative & HIVE ON!

Interested.

Great work!! This makes onboarding with a mobile phone so easy.
Just don't forget to back up your keys again at home, and especially after a while, when you're in the process of changing the keys....

Cheers 🤠

Update: @tibfox, I paid out 16.008 HIVE and 0.000 HBD to reward 4 comments in this discussion thread.
