Only thing I'd like to see more of is our Hive logo or link back on individual dapp marketing materials.
Individual dapps would benefit linking back to a hub of sorts. This social setting for instance. This is where one finds out about the other stuff. It's odd someone might stumble into a tribe for instance, sign up, and not have any clue there's more to Hive than just that. All those new splinterlands players for instance. Notice how there wasn't a sudden increase in low rep noob accounts engaging? That's a missed opportunity. Several were linked to a PeakD post and might not even realize that's a Hive product and there's an opportunity to earn a little more crypto while browsing content; content that sometimes talks about other opportunities. Having the consumer base connected provides a solid foundation for anything new that wants to show up on the scene as well. Can't depend on single points of success in a decentralized world. Fractured markets are single points of failure.
I agree with this, and what you said about splinterlands is a perfect example.
I started playing splinterlands in March or April. It wasn't until maybe June that I really started seeing what Hive is about. It took me a while to figure out what tribes, communities, and the different front ends and tokens were all about.
I started a guild in Splinterlands this week and because I believe in Hive as a whole I'm really trying to push the guild members (all with accounts made in July and August and no activity on Hive outside of splinterlands) to start posting at least to splintertalk.io. I gave them all some cards to do the weekly battle challenge with and really tried to highlight that my biggest regret is that I didn't start being active with the greater Hive community sooner. We'll see how it goes.
I've been around for years and still stumble into new things, some that have been around for awhile.
We actually had some new pure-Splinterlands users discover the rest of Hive recently with some amazement. There has to be some sort of an inclusive and coherent way to present all of the Hive ecosystem options to new users, but that may be a topic for a different conversation. The way I was thinking of it is if all our services and dapps have the Hive logo somewhere prominent, even if its small, people will simply need to look for it to ascertain whether its a Hive-connected product or not. (Until now I've been using the terminology 'Hive-based' but I'll switch it to 'Hive-connected' where relevant going forward.)
I'm glad to hear some managed to find their way around. I'm looking at a fresh tutorial for the game on trending right now, 8 comments. A bit better of a connection, there would be far more comments. On PeakD for instance one can simply 'favorite' that tag and have all the fresh content at their fingertips. 'Learn and earn', why not...
So a standardized Hive icon that once clicked brings up a menu with several more icons that all have a tooltip popup offering the name and brief description. Click one option, it takes you there, where you browse whatever it is you're looking at, and that too has the Hive Icon in the same location (top left?) that works the same way as described before. Is that what you're thinking? That's how I'd do it. Just some code that plugs in easily with any skin, as theycallmedan would call them.
Basically you're on Splinterlands, two clicks takes you to PeakD, browse, two clicks takes you the NFT Showroom, browse, two clicks takes you to another game, play, two clicks will take you back to PeakD, two clicks and you can head over to Hive engine, two clicks, watching some video on SPK, and so on. Everyone benefits from the ease of access/shared market. Consumers/users don't have to stumble around in the dark.
We do need this, would make every app on the platform help every other app on the platform with no sacrifice. It's the difference between going to a mall with lots of stores or a footlocker. Sure, you showed up for shoes, but maybe walking made you hungry, maybe you didn't know you wanted to play in the arcade, lots of interconnectivity that's sticky and keeps folks around.
Yeah, exactly. The proven mall model, advanced. On day one someone walks into an unfamiliar mall. What's the first thing they see? A map. These days the map for the biggest malls can be accessed on a phone, and for good reason. Even in department stores, if someone is struggling to find what they're looking for, they leave, and the product they're looking for loses out even though it was right under their nose. This map also happens to be a teleporter though. If you could do that in the physical world, not one of those businesses would suffer due to poor location (furthest from the door on the boring floor).
The more new users we have onboarded through games/apps the more this is a problem. The person is just lost. I've got some ideas but need to set time aside.
Decentralize isn't synonymous with disarray.
Clicketty Cick. Sounds very good.
You are an incredibly fucked up individual...
Anyone who actually looks at your activity would see you're a liar and a thief.
I'm going to be doing my best to have your ACTUAL criminal complaints from your past come back up and be used on this Block. In fact, Because you are SO active and involved with HIVE I think the best thing to do would be to get your FULL Record up here and out for everyone to see.
If and WHEN I make it to Canada, I wont settle for anything less than taking you for absolutely EVERYTHING you own. You will be revealed... and these actions you've taken against me and others over the years will catch up to you. You feckless little coward !
Good to hear from you again Frank. I don't have any past criminal complaints that I know of but if you want to come up let me know. Can't buy you a beer unfortunately, no Covid passport.
