Introducing Hive Memories
I have been on Hive for over seven years now and over that time, I have made A LOT of posts. Before joining Hive, I was not a writer and had never blogged before. But over the years, I have found that blogging is a great outlet for me.
Right now, there really isn't an easy way to go through all your posts starting at a certain date. We had some tools on Steem that were decent, but I am not sure if anything like this exists on Hive at the moment.
Hive has done a lot for me over the years. I met a lot of people, traveled around the world, and written a lot of posts that I am pretty proud of. And because of that, I would love to be able to make my posts into a book that I can read through whenever I want.
I want to make a printed version of my account that I can browse and show my family. Right now, I do not think that is possible with the tools we have available. So I was wondering if there was anyone on Hive that could make it possible. I am thinking that it would be possible if there was a tool that could pull the posts that an account has made, list them chronologically and then converted it all to a pdf. Then I would be able to take that pdf and put it in a program that would easily convert it to book pages.
I wouldn't need comments on the posts or any of my comments either. Just the posts themselves. For now, I am gonna call this idea "Hive Memories".
When I was in the Crypto and Cola show in the Hive discord, @ecoinstant was in there and he directed me to his recent post Is this worth Money? #2 : More free HiveTools for you!. He has been building some cool things for Hive and I think that this could be a pretty nice addition to what he is doing.
I dont know the logistics that it would take to create something like this, but I dont think it would be too difficult. It would be cool if the tool could create a list of every post you ever made, in order, and there be check boxes to select which posts would be included in the pdf. I know there are some posts that I have made that I would consider pretty cringy and I wouldn't want them included.
Would you be interested in a pdf file of the posts you have made here on Hive? I think it would be really cool to be able to look back at your time here on Hive and read through everything like a book. Let me know if that is something you think would be cool as well.
I used to keep links of my posts. I think during the WordPress plug in time (was it called Engrave?) helped me to have an external source of a way yo organise.
But it is true if within hive even peakd also can't search through old articles easily.
Maybe there isn't an index to keep track. Blockchain is a wild west territory for me and it is still growing
It's pretty hard to find individual posts. It would be so much easier to have it all indexed and ordered for me.
Maybe in the future, when HIVE blockchain is more indexed. Maybe that requires more witnesses server power?
You could create in peakd a "best of"-collection or a theme-based collection of your posts. A pdf would be awesome too. In my case many, many pages to print :)
But pdfs get outdated quickly. You would need to update them regularly.
I would have to mess around with the stuff that Peakd offers. I have thousands of posts and I wouldn't want to do each post individually.
This app can do 2 of the 3 things you want. It can pull all your posts and list in chronological order, but it doesn't covert to pdf. It's the only one I'm aware of, and I actually use it a lot to find my old posts because I can search for key words in the post title

That is awesome. Thank you. It shouldn't be that much harder to convert that list into a pdf now.
That’s a great idea… I wouldn’t mind finding a way to do that too. 😎
Haven’t heard that something is around to do all of that.
Right?? It would be pretty cool to have a book of our posts.
Yes! It would be… let us know if you find a way. I think there are many of us 😎
Have a lovely day!
